Subject: Halo 1 remake confirmed for Xbox 360, big F U to Halo on PC fans.

i don't get why pc gamers think that there such hot shots. i faced many in my day and when i have to play pc, i use a controller. i won some, i lost some. it's not about the controller vs. the keyboard. It's about who the more skilled player is. and p.s. i hate the aim assist, it always messes up my shots

Microsoft cancelled cross-platform gaming for the sole fact, that PC gamers were real hot shots.

Shadowrun - a failed cross-platform game had to add failure handicap for PC gamers to keep the playing field between console and PC even.
Either way, it was full of fail.

You wouldn't stand a chance against even a semi-decent mouse user though. The ones you lost to while using a controller will have been players that had never played before.

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.

No, 12-year-olds prefer XBL over PC gaming.

But hey, if you can come up with a logical reason as to why PC gaming and its gamers don't kick the crap out of you console kiddies, I'd love to hear it.

You're all acting like 12 year olds. You guys refuse to see the good of either side. PC gamers bashing consoles for no legitimate reason, and console gamers bashing PCs for no legitimate reason.

How about we enjoy the good from both.

I've actually done far more console gaming than PC gaming. I'd honestly estimate, going back as far as the third console generation (when I started gaming), I've spent at least 10x as much time on a console when compared to how much I game on the PC.

I know PC gaming is better because games developed with the PC in mind are generally better than the stuff that populates consoles, and if it's a dual-platform release, the PC version is almost always better. Other than Halo 2, there is yet to be a single dual-platform FPS release that isn't better on the PC.

There's no fanboyism involved with my opinion; Just a truckload of experience. And my opinion isn't "console gaming sucks" so much as it's "PC gaming is better."

lol, people who think that being better at a game with a mouse than someone else is with a controller means something.

Cross-platform doesn't work because using a mouse is too easy, simple as that.

And yet you're still too much of a coward to grab a kb/m and test your mettle against even the most casual PC FPS player. Face it, dude, you're bad at everything but console Halo releases.

Besides, you think stats in Reach and H3 means something. In actually, they don't mean crap, and everything you've been working so hard at upkeeping is completely worthless.

Using a mouse is too easy? What sort of logic is that? Would you prefer it if companies released difficult to use products?

If you're making comments like this, I'd expect you to be an awesome PC player. Mice are use to use, extremely difficult to master.

To sum it up: your logic does not make any sense.

I think he was being stupid, trying to point out that in his logic, that controllers must require skill to use. LOL.

It is just maths. A mouse vs a controller on any sensitivity level or setting you want to compare them with will always have the mouse being more precise. camera control is faster, movement and control is directly related to this one aspect alone. The skill of the player is irrelevant here, the hardware is more accurate and precise. When it comes down to playing, that fraction of a second it takes you to rotate to take the shot is sliced off on a mouse over a controller. Over a game, that can add up to a pretty good advantage.

Which works with every game except h2v, because mouse support is broken. These kids love h2v though. They would play it even more if it was on the xbox with working online, as they make 5000 remake threads daily.

That's what I've been trying to say with h2v. I've never been beaten by someone with a controller on h2v. In fact, everyone I run into that is actually good is using a kb/m

Factor in the lack of aim assist, which Halo is pretty much built on, and this argument becomes irrelevant. A game won't hold your hand if you're using a mouse and keyboard. If you miss, you miss, and if you hit, you hit. That's certainly not the case in Halo 2, 3, or Reach, and if you stuck even the best H2/3/R player in a PC game, he'd get slaughtered because there's nothing to help him but his own skill.

For those of you who don't know, Bleed Through is the third or fourth account of Coop3r, a toolbag who thinks he's the hottest crap in the world cause Metahalo ranks him 1st place in a game that rewards cheap tricks, camping, and power-weapon whoring over marksmanship and hand-eye coordination. He's the top rung of garbage, and he has yet to prove otherwise. That's why he tries to pass off mouse/kb as easy; He's never tried it, because he knows that if he did, he'd get rolled.

lolno. Halo was original for Mac OS and PC. Then Microsoft bought them and made them change gears and release it on their new "xbox" console instead. The game was originally written in OpenGL to showcase the new advantages of the OpenGL platform on OSX. I can dig the video up if you don't believe me.

True. But at this time, Halo is the console cash cow. Hoping for another release on the PC is fine, but saying they are screwing over PC fans by not sticking their neck out for them after the failure of H2V is silly.


Also, IIRC, I thought the whole big deal was that Combat Evolved was going to be released solely for the Mac. Could be wrong though.

1. Immature idiot from Halo 2 Forums comes in here calling US fanboys.
This is the Halo 1 & 2 PC section, we don't want dumb children to make a dumb "buy a console" comment.

We must be fanboys because we want a game for a superior platform, right?

2. Nostalgia goggles have blinded you, you obviously don't see the fanboyism in Halo 2 forum.

3. In this forum section, we do not have threads upon threads asking for something.

1. Just to clarify, that was not me. When I made my comment about fanboys, it was directed at him probably more than anybody. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall telling anybody in this thread whether I liked PC or console more.

The guy who made that comment was being immature in doing so, the reaction however was equally immature.

2. I basically just admitted that most people on the Halo 2 forum are immature, with the exception of most of the regulars (being around 5 people). Why are you trying to say that I didn't?

3. Great. Once again, I never claimed this forum did, I never claimed the Halo 2 forum didn't, and I never claimed that the general population of the Halo 2 forum was mature.
