We should make this thread a sticky. Its all we argue about anyway.... why not just do it on one thread?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

It's in the interest of efficiency though, it IS on the "Threads of Interest" Sticky which is the only reason why I resurrected it.

Oh well, then just leave it where it is and up to whoever wants to bring it do so.

I actually had a question regarding controllers and PCs. I have a 360 and usually play all of my games on it. I used to play a lot of PC based games "back in the day" when console gaming really was no competition. The original Delta Force for example (I still have that one plus the f-key placard).

I recently purchased Halo PC and downloaded Halo CE for it and was VERY impressed with the map variety, much better than the console version. While I am comfortable using a keyboard / mouse combo I was considering getting Microsofts wireless adapter for PC so I could use my controller instead of the keyboard. Considering that the auto-aim feature is something integral to the pragramming and not the peripheral then it shoudn't be an issue.

Or, am i missing something?

Halo PC won't give you an advantage... Halo 2 will. You can actually deal with the limitations of a controller... I've seen people that do better than at least half of the PC community using a controller. But you're not going to be able to compete with a pro with an mx518 or the like.
I consider it a moral judgement call if you want to use a controller in Halo 2.

Why would it be a moral judgement? It's not like the wireless adapter is from some super secret mod developer in deepest Hong Kong, it's a peripheral built by microsoft for the express purpose of allowing people with controllers for their 360 to play PC games with it.

This almost sounds like a lead in to an "In MY DAY we didn't have such fancy new-fangled gadgets like CONTROLLERS. WE used to bang on a keyboard like REAL men".

Technology is not evil, only Liberals are. ;P

ETA: BTW, I get what you are saying, I'm just screwing around with ya. Why the hell would they build in an advantage for a controller for the PC version of Halo 2?

I agree with the liberal content.
And, like I said, this is my opinion, but using autoaim of any form on the PC is what I consider cheating. Given, the Controller has limitations, but I think if you want to use the control system you are free to so. You get advantages like analog movement and great comfort in exchnage for precision and speed.

My brother is a PC gamer and is more comfortable with a keyboard than a controller. Even though he acknowledges that sticking with a keyboard has some disadvantages, he's too much of a purist to switch to a controller. But, it seems to me that if the only issue against controllers for PC gaming is the auto-aim (omething I've never really foun to be of much help btw) then why not have a game mod that removes it?

The topic was dead for a while, and someone resurrected this dead thread by posting in it, which mind you is called and EPIC BUMP. So, who really got this thread "ded"?

Wasn't me, I only started playing HPC and I happen to see this thread which coincidently was of interest to me. So I asked (if you'll read farther up and ignore the repetative avatars, was on topic).

If you don't like the thread then stop reading and posting in it.

So why not answer the question I asked and kill it. The only reason I check back is to see if someone reasponded. YOU are the only one bumping the frickin thread.

Go away, OR answer the question.

I'd love a mod like that. My opinion doesn't matter much anyway I don't play Halo 2 Vista.
and hell YES can we have more clones.

Halo CE forever!

When I saw this thread today, I thought I'd tell you something... I'm an average Halo PC player, and I don't have any Halo games for Xbox or the H2Vista. Months ago I bought a 360 wired, normal controller because I would use it for racing games such as Trackmania. Well I tried it with HPC and it was nearly impossible to control my character, even the hogs and ghosts. And I moved and aimed even if I didn't want to - see, no good support for a pad.
I was a typical pc gamer who didn't like those "Xbox noobs", still I kept quiet and didn't flame on threads like this how "easy it is to be a Halo2Xbox pro" or something.


Yesterday on level Damnation (what is one of my favourite maps) I met a nice guy who played with a 360 controller. He's active Halo player, and has played H1, H2, and H3beta. And he said "the Damnation of HaloPC is the best map of all Halos' multiplayer maps". He was playing as the host but still... He was very good, for a controller user. He often killed me and got better scores. And theres no aim assist for Halo PC. So a very skilled controller user can beat a pc gamer without aim assist. I learned my lesson.

You guys should learn it too.
