Older games were less sophisticated and definitely fewer buttons.

I wonder how Marriot_Guy @ RFGen score would be with this:

I was tempted to get an Xbox just to try out Steel Battalion.

I thought the issue was he was playing an online FPS on the PS3.

The problem here is that he's playing console games online. He needs to just get a PC and start playing with the real gamers. IE not the immature spoiled little shits that get beaten up at school so feel they have to overcompensate by yelling at/insulting strangers over the internet.

I've never had problem with buttons, but then again, my home has always been the full 70 or so button Querty keyboard and 3 button mouse with scrolling.

That's what the article is saying. You are only 16 or something so the article isn't exactly about you.

I've heard people yelling immaturely on the PC just as much as the Xbox and Playstation.

You've heard it, but not just as much. There's enough of a barrier to entry to getting a headset working on the PC that you cut out a certain percentage of idiots.

It's nowhere near the same state as it is on consoles. Every kid and their sister has a god-damn 360 or a PS3 or both. It's these little shit-heels that are spouting the most garbage, because they don't have any moderation. They can call anybody whatever they want because they don't have any repercussions for their acts.

At least on a PC most servers are moderated, so trouble causers get booted, anti-cheating systems actually work to an extent, people who abuse glitches get booted/banned. Plus the hardware required to play modern games provides a sufficient barrier for entry. I enjoy playing online on PC 100x more than playing it on a console.
