There are two ways you can do this... ... ...

1. Look for an Xbox to USB adapter

2. Buy a Saitek P880... I have one and it works just like the Xbox controller... ... ...


Have Fun

There are contollers available that plug into your USB. If you live in Australia, get a really good quality one for $40. If you live in America, well i dont know, coz i dont!

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

I don't know the name, I'll tell you tommarow. I'll send you a line today, send it back so I can just reply to that instead of tracking you down. It's like a playstation controler but it's the closest to Xbox that I have found. It has the 2 joysticks that push in for extra buttons, and it has the four game buttons: X Y B and A in the same location as an S-type Xbox controler. THe White and black buttons would be located beside the Y and B.

Heyyo,

Lol, noo doot aboot it! ATI rules, and so does Canadian Booze.. eh? ;)

Lmao, ya know what's sad? I fit the typical Canadian stereotype too... I've got some french-canadian in me, so I have the tougne of a french-canadian, I can swear at you soo fast in my Francophone dialect, and I live onna chicken farm, out on some small island at the outskirts of a small town, and I'm good at any game with a gun. Us Canadians, some of the best soldies in the war. Just say the enemy stole our maple syrup and poutine and they're dead. :)

Lol, I can even do one more better, I can do chicken calls, and make them follow me around the chicken pen inna line behind like I'mma messiah... the messiah that brings them food, and takes their unhatched babies and makes a good sunny side up egg n' toast breakfast. =D

LMAO, it's great dudes! if I ever want some eggs I just walk outback n' get some, how kickass is that? Man, when I move to a big city? I don't care, I'm having 4 chickens as pets dangit. Breakfast's on me boys, lol.

Well gamepads are great for fighting games or games like Metal Gear Solid 2 except when you need to snipe someone in the butt. But yeah, keyboard and mouse is probably the number one control for a FPS game. The mouse, you just move, aquire target and he is dead, controller, you have to move with your thumb which IMO is just terrible. But hey, its your preferences on your choice on control system, just don't come in here acting stupid and saying "controller is the best" like those Xbox retards, since they're only making themselve look stupid, but are a disgrace to the whole Xbox community.

Bought controller for Halo and a few other games, never used it for halo. keyboard and mouse works much better one you get the contols to your liking (i prefer to use mousewheel for reload, pistol whip, and change weapon rather then keyboard)

oh yea... Canada rules!

I have an Xbox controller to USB port adapter. It's called Super-Joy Box6 and I got it from a small business on eBay. The product looked professional, that's why I got it. At first, I was like yeah! I’m going to own everybody baby! Because I play better on my Xbox controller :D... 5 minutes into the game I realize what a complete scam this was...

[color=red]1.[/color] Sure you can have drivers that make the Xbox pad playable, but there is no pressure sensitive in the buttons.

[color=red]2.[/color] There are no multitasking buttons. For example, In the Halo settings you can chose whether “X" can be reload or Swamp weapons, but not both.

[color=red]3.[/color] You find that you run out of buttons. When I first tried it I left out flash light and switch 'nade.

[color=red]4.[/color] There is some joystick sensitivity, but so little that it would only pass for playing 2d pong.

From my experience I do not recommend getting an Xbox controller to PC adapter. There is no such thing as having the best controller in the world (Xbox) to be fully programmable to be played on a PC like it would on an Xbox. If you don't like your basic keyboard and ball-mouse, try getting an official PC game pad. Or if you're like me, get your dad to get you a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard with Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0 for your birthday. =).
