My time with the Steam Controller

It doesn't sound wrong, this is the best way to attain a game were controls and movements feel great. This is my big problem with the new Counter Strike : Global Offensive that a lot of new comers don't see. It doesn't feel as good as old 1.6 or quake 3 or uT... It feels like developers didn't really care about great movements and focused on other things in the game.

I can't agree more with SMB's daddy, movements are the most important thing in the game. It's the core.

Haven't tried CS:GO, but do you think it's related to being on console + PC?

Coming from HL/HL2/CS, the controls are very very tight, but over the last few years it seems like most games are always xbox+ps3+pc and they never seem to be that great for PC. Either consoles get away with a lot worse controls, or the ports/PC-versions are just worse quality :(

P.S. I will say an example for me wasn't CS:GO, but some of the newer Call of Duties. Which is ironic because the first Call of Duty back on PC was actually one of the few games that could contend with Valve-quality FPS controls (I felt).

Source engine games all feel like you are ice skating. HL1 and CoD1 have one thing in common: they are both based closely on engines by id, whose movement and guns feel really "solid"
