[quote name='Sporadic']Um, I'm not talking about preferences. He literally won't be able to compete online on TF2 if he uses a controller. He'll get completely destroyed by K&M users. That's just the limitation of a controller without something in place to accommodate it (auto-aim, keyboard & mouse slightly gimped, etc.)
I imagine he wants to use the controller because he is have troubles getting accustomed to K&M. That would be fine if this was a single player game but online, he doesn't stand a chance. It would be even more frustrating to try and use a controller on TF2 than it would be to learn the K&M setup.[/QUOTE]
Ok... I wasn't talking about preferences, so that makes the both of us... let me re-phrase my original sentence just in case.
OP isn't looking for whether the Xbox controller will be more or less competitive than KB/M.
