Poll: Gamepad?  [closed]
What do you think of this idea?:  100%
(8 Votes)
Total Votes: 8

I Think that Halo Vista should have a split screen mode on one pc, (for those of us with analog stick gamepads,) both on Campaign mode and on the multiplayer maps. Plus, some computers may be able to support 3 or four Gamepads through USB ports, meaning three way or four way Multiplayer. However, I do think that Campiagn mode should be limeted to 2- player

What's the point of the poll?

Not to be rude, but if you want to play slit screen with controlers, go play on the Xbox. I think it would be great to have co-op on H2V, but I don't think split screen would work.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Split screen wouldn't work, but controllers will work, thankfully. :)

Yeah, we want split screen option. After all, let's completely forget about performance issues and such. Let's forget the fact that PC monitors are best used by one player and one player only.

Don't make pointless polls.

What do mean be "thankfully"? Controlers suck.

Sorry, but I find Halo easier with a controller. I can hold my own with one too.(usually)

I think this is because I played Halo and H2 first on the XBOX.

Halo 2 was my first Halo title, actually. I still prefer playing with a mouse and keyboard. :)

What's really ridiculous is the fact that they're programming the game to give gamepad players an advantage. They'll run faster, and they'll have that noobish aim-assist. If they leave in the hitboxes and magnetic bullets, Halo 2 will still be crap as ever.

Since when will controller users be faster?

Indeed. Just because auto-aim may not be removed from the game doesn't mean that it will make it worse than it is on the Xbox.

I had heard about numerous testers complaining about the max running speed being higher on the controller than it is for a keyboard. If that's the case, it's a little ridiculous. Hell, it's already stupid that they're leaving the noob-aim in there.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Well, aiming with a mouse is pretty much point and click now. They need the auto aim to even survive. And besides, it's not that bad, the Halo PC aimbot was worse.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

Run faster? That has to be a glitch, how can the character run faster? You have walk, and run, why would there be a controler specific run setting?

And even if it does, obviously it's a glitch and will be fixed, google Vista bugs or something along those lines, most of what you will find is RC1 problems, same as this, may be a problem for the testers when they played, but we have no way of knowing what the game plays like now, unless your buddies are still testing?

Is that why they suck so badly in the videos we see of people playing?

Joking aside, I do hope that these problems don't appear in the final version of the game.

How can you agree with him if he didn't back it up?

Gamepad or no gamepad, that's what I started with and that's what I'm used too. They aren't actually "better" but it depends on the person, not the device. Like drag racing, it's not the car, it's weather if your a better shifter.

But I do have a question, will Vista run Halo 1? I've heard it doesn't allow older games, period.

What it is.

It doesnt allow older games in terms of 16-bit older games. Basically games that were meant to run on like DOS and Win95. Or at least that's what i think; but yeah, Halo PC works fine with Vista, well, it did on RC1, now the nVidia drivers suck so i have to play it at 800x600, which is fine sometimes.

Thanks for answering the question. I will definitely get it then in the next few months.
