Hi. I only play Halo PC when my sister or girlfriend is hogging the TV. I am tired of getting pwn'd by K/M pros when I can't play Halo 2 on my Xbox. I suggest adding Auto-Aim to Halo PC to level the playing field. Thank you. That is all. Move along now. Nothing more to see.

well, that would defeat the purpose of the increased accuracy of the mouse instead of the thumbstick.

So, wait, you said to level the playing field...it wouldn't. The mouse already has a huge advantage, so now you give it auto-aim, too?

Not to be mean and flame, but this is a trash idea. There's a reason why no one puts any auto-aim in pc games.

And lets face it Halo Pc won't be getting any major updates...except for the odd "security fix" to allow Microsoft to scream it's lungs out that its' games/products/brands are hacker/virus free/protected (sure we all know that) .And i do think auto aim is a major updated... along with better netcode and other stuff.In short the advice: get better with the mouse or stick with Halo 2 and it's xbox controller.

The reason why xbox has auto aim is because the XBOX players are so S H I T at playing with their controllers where as with the mouse you have some pure skill. Thats why PC gamers wouold whip xbox arse.

Ok look bud,your idea is utter crap(not to flame or whatever)

The reason us PC players use a mouse and a keyboard instead of a controller(ever though we could) is that the mouse and the keys are a lot faster and more acurate not to mention more versatile and functional. We don`t need auto-aim cause it`s totaly pathetic and kills the whole point. A FPS tests your skills,hand-eye coordination and makes for a fun chalange. Auto-aim would just make it easy,flat and boring=xbox. Personaly i never liked controllers at anything(lord knows how you ppl can play a race game without a wheel) and i even play the Legacy of Kain games only with my keys.

Heck, no. Auto-aim would take the fun out of shooting eachother. If this monstorous thing is put on, all fights would be "are whoever looks at the other person first wins" fights. And common, what's the fun in that? Also, about what you said about being killed by experts, is olmost the main reason you want to play the dang game! Think about it, if everybody had the same skill, the game would be a cats-game and deffenitly no fun! So, no. I think Auto-Aim should deffinetly not be put on Halo.

I've been playing Halo PC for 6 months now. whenever I play halo 2 at a friends house, i suck ass with the joystick after being so good with the mouse.

Auto aim would only work in campaign. Too lagy in multiplayer.

I see youve been flamed enough, so Ill deviate from the crowd and present my ideas without flaming.

=====>autoaim=no skill<=====

Hence, you practice with TEH MOUSE and get better with it. The guy who just sniped your head off using a mouse had to practice many times and probably suffered many deaths before being able to do so.

For most gamers, controllers are a bit clumsy to use, and not as precise; hence there is the convenience of auto-aim in some games. But Im a purist. I never liked autoaim.

Imagine a no shields team sniper game. With auto aim, youd be dead in an instant and spawnkilled over and over again. Without it, you still have a chance to live cause your opponent can miss.

this is why i play fps games on pc, just so i can use the mouse. the controllers are too hard to move around and aim for perfect shots

Jason_X = noob

The only people left playing Halo1 are the dedicated fans / pros. No noobs are allowed in haloPC. Get out. It took many months to get the game to be like this. I don't want more noobs to swarm the game because of higher autoaim.

Okay, well, we don't really use the 'n' word here...

And any game is open to anybody that is there to play and get better.

1. There is an auto-aim (ever notice that your target reticle turns red?)
2. It wouldn't be of any use because of lag lead.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys, except for the immature couple of people that used the "n" word. My suggestion was kind of tongue-in-cheek, because it is unlikely that feature would ever be implemented. A lot of people would rather H2 not have auto-aim. So, I'll just work on getting better.

Cordiality, eh? Well, if you don't like the *gasp* n-word, you could always.....

practice.

Seriously, tough - what the heck sort of response did you expect? It was rather reckless to make the suggestion in the first place, no?

I expected immaturity from people like you. I was pleased by the maturity of the other members of the forum who actually listed intelligent reasons as to why auto-aim wouldn't be good for Halo PC instead of resorting to childish name calling. Maybe you should take a lesson from the others on this forum and learn how to express your opinion while at the same time treating others with respect. Until you do, I just feel sorry for you, and your failure to see my post as tongue-in-cheek really speaks volumes about your intelligence level.

Hi, if you are *really* missing the controller, why not plug the XBox one into the PC USB.?? I bought an adaptor from GAME (£6.99UK Pounds) and it's great. The supplied software was pants, but a better version is easly available on the 'net.
I bought this setup for the complete reverse as you. I'm not too bad on Halo MP PC, but pants on Halo2 XBox live. So, I got this to practice using the controller on Halo Single Player, which I have to say, is awful compaired to the mouse/keyboard.
Each to their own I suppose ........;-)

ok first off, quit trying to copy the name and don't "oh i was getting it from the movie!" whatever dude, just try to be more original in the future... and as far as belittling long term hardcore Halo PC forum peeps, and make youself sound smart... or try to anyway, just royaly upsets me, nothing says immature like an 18 year old thinking they are so ancient and wise...

as far as your ORIGINAL post as not to be too off topic. Halo PC doesn't need auto-aim in fact the auto aim in halo 2 really is kind of because the x box crowd is a younger crowd and not to be mean but in truth... less skilled. To test this play a custom game with a buddy and be on the same team... see how hard it is to snipe him or even use the BR on him.... if your having trouble doing it then you rely too much on the auto aim. try playing more Halo PC and then come back to playing Halo 2 once you get better at Halo PC and trust me, you'll do better at Halo 2

so there... didn't flame you 'bout your original post... just about your antecedently expressed verbal assailment and your ineffectual endeavor to deprecate my friends.

If you don't like being called the`n` word think about a question before you post it.
