Don't get confused thinking sniping will be easy in this game. This guy has some other videos floating around, and he is literally godlike in his abilities.
Even if this game is only 10% better than COD4 (which nothing has yet to eclipse), it will still be completely unrivaled.
I use to play FPS games on the PC all the time, and was extremely resistant to leaving that format, but with the introduction of consoles like the 360 and PS3, that really just doesn't make sense anymore. Unless you have your PC hooked up to a huge screen, home stereo, headset and a controller, you are not getting any where close to the experience that the developers intended for people to have. I can see why they aren't putting much effort into the PC version anymore. Poor sales and the fact that perhaps only 1% of the people that are playing on the PC have a proper setup to truly appreciate the game due to the tremendous cost of building one, is likely extremely off putting to Activision/Infinity Ward.

It took me a long time to break the habit of using a keyboard/mouse for FPS games. I had been playing shooters like that since Wolfenstein. Now, I could never go back. The keyboard is still the superior choice in RTS games, though.
The PS3 controller is OK, but far too small for my hands and winds up giving me cramps. The 360 controller is the best fit by far for a non-third party controller.

+1 on Halo 3, I rarely play - and really only play live with a group if ever. Also, I agree that even a small step above COD4 will make this game well worth buying.

I can set up a keyboard and mouse to the PS3?
