I am interested to know who uses the Joystick and who uses the keyboard/mouse. I use the keyboard/mouse but I may buy a joystick and try it out just 2 see if I like it. Please vote for what you use.

I use a keyboard/mouse, becaue a keyboard lets my left-handedness shine. The mouse gives me better precision in sniping (although you wouldn't know it if you saw me play...).

I play with mouse and keyboard but I have played with a steering wheel. That was an interesting day.

I started off playing with a joystick and was doing well with it.. as well as a newb can do. It was comfortable and I had a trigger and 4 thumb buttons Fire, Grenade, Reload, Melee and pickup/enter. I was happy ...until the joystick started to float. It would drift left slowly and you cannot aim and snipe if it is doing that. I switched to mouse.

Joysticks and FPS's don't work...at all. You basically need to use the joystick and the keyboard, to both look and move. You'd need a gamepad.

the controllers by themselves arent compatible, but you can get an adapter to plug one in. then you just need to find a driver out there somewhere. i think the last time i saw an adapter was on ebay

i have been using the mouse for halo since christmas. whenever i tried to play halo2 at a friends house, i would suck so bad using the xbox joysticks to aim. headshots are so easy with the mouse.

another question to answer: low or high mouse acceleration settings for halo?

i have improved much after switching the acceleration setting from 3 (default) to 2, both axis's.
