Have you played against someone using a controller?

Didn't think so.

So stop complaining about something you don't know exists.

WTF, perhaps you should wait for a response before answering your own question. I HAVE played against people using a controller, both in racing games, and FPS games. In racing games (I play Trackmania Nations online) I have to admit that "some" people who use a controller are skillful, and can even beat me "occasionally" in some races, than again, I don't use a mouse to steer in that game, so that cancels that out. And I have played against people in FPS games who used a controller. Although I usually win, I will not deny I have been beaten. Though the win/lose ration is usually on my side.

OK, now let me use auto-level, to level this conversation out (WTF?). I will not mind people using a controller with auto-aim. But If they win a game, and say they are more skillful, I will not accept that, they did not use 100% skill, as 35% of that skill is auto-aim. Than again, like many other players using a controller on many other online FPS games. Your gonna get that person who thinks he's more skillful than everyone if he wins a few rounds, and will say auto-aim has nothing to do with it. I believe they are called "noobs"

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

The mouse is unresponsive at the worst times in H2V. Controller users definitely have the advantage.

Oh let's not forget that a controller with auto-aim has a severe disadvantage to someone who is very good with a mouse. I'm pretty good at the Xbox version (and by pretty good I mean I basically hit the skill cap, just short of it) and people who've had the game for a few days with the keyboard and mouse are already as good. With most people being bad with the controller anyway, I'm sure it'll be fair. It's not like you can tell when someone is using the controller if you aren't looking for it.


So your saying that basic players are worse aimers (with auto-aim off) with the controller than what they are with the mouse? It's a PC not a console, just because its easier to aim with the mouse than it is with a controller, doesn't mean controllers should use auto-aim to even it out. IMHO anyone who can use a mouse and beat a person with a controller with auto-aim, can say they are a better aimer. But anyone using a controller with auto-aim beating someone with a mouse, can't say they are are better aimer because they had an auto-aim advantage.


QFT. Seriously, if you want to play a PC game with a controllers, go play a CONSOLE (geez how much times must we stress that towards H2V supporters?). PC gaming is gaming with KB&M, NOT controllers.

This thread kinda let me down..

What about those of us who don't hate Halo 2 Vista for it being Halo 2.. but because it's on Vista? :p

Seriously, I know quite a few people who would love to play H2 for PC, but don't have the inclination to upgrade to an OS that's still in its infancy which is marred by tons of driver support and software compatibility problems.

I don't hate Halo 2 Vista because it's got auto aim or subpar graphics.. I hate it because Microsoft is trying to leverage their POS Operating System on the backs of two game titles - one new (Shadowrun), one old (Halo 2). Yet, at the same time, Microsoft is being slow as hell coming out with updates for KNOWN issues from their OWN Knowledge Base.

Edit: Yes, I have my flame retardant suit on. I know people are going to flame me with "but Vista works perfectly for me!". Congrats. Seriously. But for every one person who has a flawless time with Vista, I'd dare say there are hundreds who have terrible issues with the OS. I'm a great example. I built my machine around Vista, yet Vista crashes regardless of drivers used. My hardware is perfectly fine as well. This isn't just some random occurance to me alone - issues like this are all over various Vista forums. IThe fact that it's being used to push an OS, yet it's not even a real DX10 game (it's still DX9C) is the reason I dislike Halo 2 Vista.

I would be just as angry if it were 2000 and Microsoft was trying to use a game to push Windows Millennium Edition a couple months after major retail release.

I think the graphics are better. I also think the controls and mouse are perfect.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Hmmm...... The AA is a little on the jaggie side in the back distance though. But I mean you can't get it all.

If you like the game play it. If you like fear better, then play it. Either way this debating is pointless, as it gets us no where. If you hate h2v, then don't post on the H2v forums. It's that simple!
