We all know Halo Pc was a great game because it had no auto-aim, and required skill to play. Now, for Halo 2 Vista, we are happy again to trade the Xbox Mighty Auto-Aim for a mouse and keyboard, but then I realized something, if you use a Xbox 360 Controller, are you going to have Auto-Aim enabled? Because, you know what? That's retarded. Even though the keyboard and mouse own "azz" still, having Auto-aim for an Xbox controller user would be unbalanced, and give them an edge? I think I heard something about that, and I am ANGRY!!! YARRRRGH!!

*ahem*...yes...

There is no offical statement from hired gun if there will be auto-aim, all they stated was that the keyboard and mouse will be able to pawn the 360 controller and that the 360 controller will be able to pawn the keyboard and mouse.

Here is a quote from the Gamespot Interview with Hired Gun about District.

GS: Finally, has multiplayer been balanced so that everyone is on equal footing, regardless of the type of controller that they're using? Or will mouse-and-keyboard players have a distinct advantage versus gamepad players?

DM, MVG, and KW: We did some balancing to make the keyboard-and-mouse experience on par with the controller. Overall, we believe that the controller will prove to be a popular and competitive option for those that prefer it. When our team plays large multiplayer games, controller players regularly school the keyboard/mouse players, and vice versa.

I'm pretty sure there is auto aim no matter what you play on, though hopefully not as much as xbox.

Even if there is auto aim, mouse and keyboard will still win. Now, if someone using a BR and a 360 controller shoots you first, and you don't see them, you will likely die. However, if you see them before or at the same time, you'll be able to use the speed and accuracy of your mouse to fire off two bursts by the time their ridicule is still moving towards you. I'm not worried about auto aim people, what I am worried about is that hired gun will screw up the mouse and keyboard to try and balance the 360 controller.

Ugh, they should balance the controller itself as apposed to messin with ma mouse, tis a PC game, make us PC gamers happy then do a half arsed job of addressing console people's desires.

Agreed. I don't want my mouse's sensitivity to be toned down just to compensate for the controller's cumbersome aiming scheme. And I don't want HG messin' with my Keyboard to make up for the controller's movement either.

Nothing. As long as you look and fire with the mouse, you will not get autoaim. But you can still use both to play. (Mouse to shoot and aim, controller to move)

Hey, if people want to use a controller over a mouse and keyboard, that's fine with me. Just don't level the playing field by handicapping mouse and keyboard players in any way whatsoever.

Although, if people with game pads do start to win, it will be most likely due to the fact that they don't have any auto-aim. What nappy headed hoes.

Im sure they won't go that far, but Hired Gun should not even think about putting Auto-aim BACK into the game everyome wants it out of.
