Drawing a pistol or moving a rifle from safe position to aiming position, followed by aiming (which in no way is as fast or as simple as a mouse) and firing is nothing whatsoever even slightly like a mouse. I can't believe anyone who has ever used firearms, particularly in tactical training, would argue such a thing. Both the mouse and the controller are entirely divorced from the experience of using a real weapon entirely. I say this as someone who regularly uses real firearms. I find that nothing like playing a video game with any type of controller.


Also, for people who have only used controllers it also feels more direct than the mouse.


Oh, and if you point and shot like a mouse in an FPS you wouldn't hit anything you were aiming at. Accuracy is far more than point and shoot with a real firearm.

Agree with what you are saying, but I have to mention that pulling a trigger on the 360 pad is closer to pulling a trigger on a gun than pressing left mouse button, but yeah hitting something with a hand gun is pretty damn hard. Assault rifles however are pretty accurate even when a noob is shooting, if the gun is calibrated properly.
