But a salesman told me a contoller is a better playing experience since Halo was originally for XBox, so its worth your money
Heyyo,
Your salesman's a n00b, why? he's a salesman, he reads a script, and doesn't know what he's talking aboot, he's pretty much an actor in the marketing division. If you listen to him? you better make sure his script's accurate. In this case? it's WRONG.
Halo was first made for the Macintosh, M$ came along with their big wallet, and bought the rights to Halo, which -blam!- the game over from achieving true greatness on PC's forever...
So technically, Halo was built for mouse n' keyboard, more accurately a sigle mouse button mouse (Mac style), and a keyboard.
Plus? gamepads aren't good once you remove the autoaim, which's why HaloPC's next to impossible onna gamepad. I'm glad they removed it, so those so called "good xbox Halo gamers" can be brutally pwned by my Logitech MX1000. Heck, I could pwn them with just 1 hand! bind some movement keys to my mouse and they don't stand a chance! Mouse wheel tilts to strafe, foward back buttons to the foward back buttons, app switch to coutch (already did that for kicks) and there ya go, pwnage. Lol, I did that for CSS, and I -blam!- pwned my buddies with 1 hand on my mouse shottin' away with my AK47, and the other on the phone talking aboot a program listing I made for a christmas potluck... Could you do that -blam!- onna $box? hells no. ;)
EVERYONE HERE, run down to london drugs, check their prices for a Logitech MX1000, bought mine for $75! that's $10 cheaper than a Logitech MX700!!!!! best deal out there for this state-of-the-art mouse. =D
