...comfirmation would be nice though...
It certainly would be, especially given that it's not, in anyway, a vital piece of info regarding the game.
TBH it's shocking how many games don't support this method of control. You yourself said that you played Oblivion using the "normal" controls... well, I really wanted to play Oblivion too, and guess what? Bye bye sale.
I refuse, *refuse*, to use "normal" controllers simply because that game company happens to think it's the best one that works.
I recall years and years ago an interview with one of the lead designers (Or a developer) for TIE vs X-Wing on the PC. When asked "Why was mouse support dropped?" (As it was origianlly) he stated "Because we thnk the game is played better on joystick"
What ARROGANCE!!
I was absolutly seathing with rage when I read that one. I cared a lot for TIE Fighter, so to hear I couldn't play the "sequel" (cos I'm a mouse man for space sims, not a joystick user at all)
Even worse, if only 1% of users don't buy Halo 3 because of the control methods, then that is a LOT of lost sales when you're dealing with such a massive title.
So please Bungie, don't let arrogance stand in the way of making every Legacy user dreams come true. After all, it surely cannot be THAT hard to program in?
