Check it out!

It's not a huge update, but at least we know they're working on it.

Posted by: Frankie
They have been trying to force feed me mouse controls to try out, but I am sooooo used to joypad that it's taken me all week to find a keyboard layout that I'm comfortable with. I used to have the same problem with Unreal Tournament because of the secondary fire mode. Anyway, I've got one now that's working for me. Now I'm trying to figure out if I like KB/mouse or Joypad better.
Looks like Frankie's uncomfortable not playing with a gamepad. Hopefully he'll learn in time that there is nothing that can match the precision and response time of a mouse and keyboard.

I like controllers, and always will. KB/Mouse is good, but I'm too used to controllers...

Yeah I used to be only controller, but I can't even use the clumsy dual-thumbsticks anymore.

Kimmy and I have never been sooo in the same page with the keyboard/mouse. And Thanks for the update, I didn't notice, I usually don't really read the Weekly anyways.....

Read that. I got a new mouse so I'm better with the joystick for now.

Man, large joysticks suck for fps games. Allright for stuff like MechWarrior, though. I've got a Logitech USB Extreme 3d Pro that I NEVER use. Cost me $40. Worst $40 I ever spent.

Logitech's are too fragile, I have two and they both quit working for some reason. The throttle slider is busted so my 'mech always walked backwards. So damn annoying. It'd be nice to figure out a way to use both of the joysticks for Mechwarrior. that'd be uber-cool. But that's off topic.

Sadly, no you cannot MikeDaKinger. You can, however, plug in a USB keyboard to type instead of using the controller to type out your letters one painful second at a time. If I was using a gamepad to type this it would probably take me about twenty minutes to type it.

He clearly stated that he wants to know if it is possible to plug a usb mouse into an xbox360. You implied that he was being stupid enough to try and use a gamepad to type. Honestly, Kim, I think you are just plain mean.

What the hell? No! I answered his question and I just wanted to tell him on a side note that you could plug in a keyboard into the Xbox 360. I didn't make it look like he was an idiot because he used a gamepad to type. Then I would be an idiot as well because I don't have a USB keyboard that I can plug into my Xbox 360 so I have to use a controller to type.

Whatever, noob, I refuse to talk further about this and shall digress.

Anyway, from what I've read in the update, Halo 2 is going to be looking very leet at high resolution.
