Thinking with Portals since '07

Battlefield 3 sucks.

...can i use a wired xbox controller like you can with Halo 2 Vista?

Let there be CHAOS!

Sure, if you want. There's no analogue movement online though and no sticky aim so you would get destroyed. I guess for campaign you'd be okay though.

Halo 3 is better than Reach

Xbox Live: iSupremacyX
Xbox Connect: Cold_Achilles

use the mouse and keyboard unless you want to smash your computer after ending 0 kills, 1000 deaths

I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

I fail so hard with the mouse and the keyboard. I just can't aim.

contrary to popular belief, if you're good with a controller, you'll be able to hold your own against most people, but i doubt you'll score a kill against someone who can aim. i recommend starting out with mouse and keyboard until you know where to lead though, it'll be easier after that.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

Yes, it is possible.
Although the controller has issues, unlike Halo 2. You will have a hard time controlling how you move. and sometimes your analog sticks wont even register. Using the controller for the First Halo PC is a real bad idea. Keyboard and mouse takes time to get used to; no doubt, after time, it will get easier.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

I was like that when I started playing UT'99. Keep playing with the M/Kb. You'll get used to it. If it helps, use the d-pad and the buttons around it instead of WASD. D-pad players are a lot more common than one would believe.
