so basically you have no real answer... Like I said the console version is superior for me with split screen
Split screen for PC guide
You can use a 360 or PS3 controller. If you were feeling REALLY adventurous, you could spend the time to map out a config for Wiimote controls.
As for the comment about hauling your PC back and forth, who does that? Just setup a HTPC with a wireless kb/mouse and hauling your rig is no longer an issue

I find that people who are intelligent enough to understand that people may not have their computer in a separate room or have multiple computers or have a laptop are also intelligent enough to use the correct their/there/they're for the situation.NIGHT- said:
The "comfy couch" argument is also hilarious considering that L4D1 and L4D2 both have complete, built-in support for the Xbox 360 controller on PC. You really do get the best version of the game played with the shittier controller just because you have to have it that way.

Playing fps with dual analog will never make it the superior version when there's a pc version or heck even wii, if controls are done right.

PC will never be the superior version for controls now that there are Wii controls. Mouse is precise, but KB sucks ass for movement. Also, no one with a real gun is as accurate as someone with a mouse anyway. :lol
Free content on PC is obviously very nice to have.

Wait, what? This is directed to everything stated here. Because the PC version can be made to use the Wii Remote, it's not superior? Keyboard "sucks ass"? PC is too accurate?LunaticPuma said:

I actually understand the "PC is too accurate" argument (though I don't agree with it), which is a weird generation gap thing that has only come up recently with kids that haven't grown up on Doom and Quake. Using the mouse can be a bit ridiculous when your character is able to aim and shoot any possible location with a wrist flick. It loses that game-y quality where you feel you should be restricted to the game mechanics in some way because you shouldn't be able to just shoot anything anywhere at any time. Kids these days like using the analog sticks and feeling like they're working to earn their kills and accuracy.

You're right that being able to use the Wii on the PC makes it superior. However, I will always, always, always believe that the keyboard is significantly worse for movement controls than an analog stick. My PC being too accurate claim is more or less about immersion. As Liu stated better than I could, being able to aim at anything, anywhere with a flick of the wrist can lose some of the arcadey game feel (similar to how Guiter Hero on expert turned into hit as many buttons as fast as possible instead of playing music IMHO).
On a L4D2 related note, does anyone know if people can join a game in progress through the Local Hosting option? Is there a way to search for local host only games?

You still need the actual skill and muscle memory to aim that quickly. As for the keyboard, you have three fingers that can be dedicated to movement as opposed to one thumb. It's a bit more awkward at first, yes, but so was the analog stick the first time I played the Nintendo 64, and we all seem to have adapted to that, hmm? The fact it, I can alter my course more quickly on PC than analog stick, and more accurately.LunaticPuma said:

I do like some of the implementations of wiimote in some fps games. Anyway can we talk about L4D2, did anyone finished the freaking bridge on expert???the last try i think i could see the possible exit, but not sure.

you are mad.LunaticPuma said:
for the guitar hero on expert bit and 'too accurate' nonsense.
yes you can aim about more accurately with a mouse than you can a real gun... but if you think that makes the game LESS arcadey, you are very very mad.

Amen. If you have the game on PC, enjoy it. If you have the game on 360, enjoy it.

well sure.
I have both a PC and xbox and got it on PC this time around (Had L4D1 on xbox)
Pretty impressed with the PC one. Have encountered the charger but yesterday which sucked, but did see a lot of complaint about lag on xbox for L4D2. Can't comment personally, but on PC it's been excellent.
As for control..... I dunno. Keyboard and mouse takes a bit to get used to if you're a controller gamer. It's fine for L4D though. For playing against each other, I prefer controller and everyone else being on a controller. Mainly because I lack the time to make my keyboard mouse combo some kind of uber controller with the science needed to understand binding shit all over the place and whatnot.
I like the xbox for levelling the playing field when shooting at other people.
