The joystick and the gamepad are virtually the same thing, so that's pretty redundant.

Of course this is the Maw, the forum for PC gamers. Most of us are obviously going to give you a biased answer of mouse/keyboard. The mouse and keyboard is superior to the controller because of its flexibility and precision. That's why Halo has aim assist and Halo PC does not. Not to mention, it's very difficult to play MMORPGs and real-time strategy games with a joystick, compared to the mouse and keyboard. The mouse and keyboard is way better than the gamepad.

Now, also, playing online on Halo PC with a gamepad is basically giving yourself a handicap. I mean a serious handicap. Like a spartan moving around in a wheelchair. You're going to get owned by all the other players using the mouse and keyboard, since there is no auto aim for HPC because they expected you to play with a mouse like you should, and PC gamers don't need auto aim.

Please, clean up your grammar. Because typing liek dis maeks u look not smart u no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For rts and rpg games I use keyboard and mouse though.
Yup. RTS is my favorite genre, so I favor the mouse and keyboard over the gamepad.
