It should handle the same, though depending on your system, it may feel different depending on a high or low fps.

Seeing as I can't post my own topic...

I just today got an update for the game. Now, my 360 control is off doing strange stuff. The buttons keep randomly changing what they do while playing. Suddenly the triggers make the camera move and the start button shoots my gun! B suddenly becomes X etc.

Any ideas?

Controller controls the same but the PC has a small delay when meleeing and doing most stuff, it's still easy to own kids lol

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.

An XBox controller in Vista is a lame excuse for an aimbot.

That reminds me of a game today where somebody asked in a game; "WHERE TO DOWNLOAD AIMBOT" and about 5 people replied "EBGames - Wired 360 controller" or similar.

I played on M/k when I first got it, and was fine, came 4th, 3rd, whatever. But when I got a wired 360 controller, it's clear there is a HUGE advantage. Still, I know people that moved from CE to 2 and due to their amazing aim skills, easily thrash controller users. When it comes down to it, they are essentially both balanced to very experienced players, but to two new players, one on MK one on controller, the 360 controller always wins.

Mmhmm, only due to the auto-aim and the fact that the mouse and keyboard controls suck?

I've have never even had some competition from a Mouse/Keyboard user.

Quit complaining abou tusing the 360 controller...it is not cheating...in no way shape or form is it cheating...If you m/k users dont like it and think it is an advantage to use a 360 controler, THEN GO GET ONE....simple solution to your bad gameplay with the M/K skills... The only reason we can use it is because it was all created by one Company MICROSOFT...I love the controller on this game...and with my system specs it feels just as smooth or maybe even smoother than playing halo 2 on the 360...and I have been playing shooters on my PC for 10 years, and I have played halo2 on pc with the M/K and pretty much have the same turn out in the end, every time...ITS SKILL...it is just a more enjoyable game when i don't have to have both my hands in different places....and maybe push the wrong button...so all you M/K users that complain....NEED TO PRACTICE....Practice doesnt make perfect but it does make you win more than you lose..

Let me just say this:

Halo 2 is already out on the Xbox. If people want to play Halo 2 with a controller, then they should play it on the Xbox. What's the point of playing Halo 2 Vista if you're not going to do it with a mouse and keyboard? It's on the PC. It's quite pathetic that the mouse and keyboard controls suck.

I don't think it's cheating to use a controller, but if you're going to use one, it kinda defeats the purpose of playing a PC port of a shooter, doesn't it?
