PS3 Counter-Strike To Support Keyboard and Mouse

[Mr. Analog]

"Eurogamer reports some encouraging news for console-bound fans of online shooters. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the new stand-alone version of the wildly successful Half-Life mod recently announced by Valve, will support mouse and keyboard controls on the PlayStation 3. This isn't entirely unprecedented; 2007's Unreal Tournament 3 had a similar feature, but the idea has never gained momentum. If the idea of allowing PC-style controls on a console does catch on, could this help remove some of the stigma associated with first-person shooters on consoles?"

Just an aside; I wish they'd do this for the damn Xbox360, playing Black Ops with a controller is like playing a piano with your feet; it can be done only after you have to relearn everything.

For Black Ops, just aim down at the legs.  If your bullet goes between their legs, they still die.  Or three feet to the side of their head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN2Lg6L6W0I&NR=1.

Ah, hit boxes, how funny they are when they're not done right.

I kinda figured, the trick though is like the article says; whipping around and having your sights in the vicinity of your target.

Or y'know either that or dual wield combat shotguns and creep just around corners...
