Seemingly everyone swears up and down that you must use a mouse and keyboard if you are going to play a shooter, arguing that it's subjectively better to control and objectively makes you play better. Often I see people suggesting that if two players of equal skill level, one on mouse and keyboard and the other on a controller, compete that the mouse and keyboard user will win every time.
You don't hear of such input-favoritism anywhere else. Fighting game tournaments allow users to use whatever form of input they desire from various controllers to a multitude of fight sticks, and the general consensus is that there is no major difference. Likewise, despite having a relatively non-existent competitive scene, no one claims that a distinct advantage can be had by using a controller or driving wheel in racing games. So what's up with shooters?
