When I first heard that Halo 2 was going to be on Vista along with Xbox Live I was some what outraged because you cannot get the precision aim with a controller. A mouse has many abilities that include good aim and quicker looking. Now the average PC gamer will say get a keyboard and mouse for your Xbox. But then you are just conforming to the PC community. I myself play some PC games ncluding CS, Half-Life, etc, but I've always loved the console games for some reason. And I know for a fact that there is going to be some serious pwnage when the Console gamer faces the PC gamer. Is this fair? I think not (like my opinion matters) but I just hope Halo 3 comes out before halo vista, because once H3 comes out do you think i'll be playing H2?! I think not, like i would want to hear a bunch of Pc gamers talk trash about how I got owned so easily with their mouse and keyboard.

Seriously, don't take me seriously.

Underground Pleasure - aren't you a bit curious?

I've always perferred a controller over a mouse and keyboard...

Why don't you try reading Bungies updates once in a while? Xboxer and PC gamers won't be playing together.

And no, Halo3 will not be out before Halo2PC.

Maybe he is talking about controller users on Vista?


Anyway, yes, if there is no auto-aim you will be owned for using a controller....

I'm not totally clear what you're saying here, dude, so I'll just reply by saying that you will not be able to play cross-platform with an Xbox and a Vista PC, so if you're saying that you're going to be annoyed when you get your ass kicked by PC gamers on Vista while you play Halo 2 on your Xbox, then it's pretty much a moot point because people who play H2 Vista and H2 for Xbox won't be able to play with each other.

Also, mouse/keyboards FTW!

Probably won't happen.

Master Chief: You bring the crowns and heads of conquered kings to my CITY STEPS! You insult my queen, you threatened my people with slavery and death! Oh I chosen my way closely, Arbiter. Perhaps you have done the same.
The Arbiter: Spare for me, THIS IS MADNESS!
Master Chief: Madness? THIS IS SPARTA 117!

I don't even understand why PC gamers would actually say keyboards/mice are better controllers. Usually the first time I played a FPS on a console felt a little weird until the day after, getting USED is actually a lot better than sticking with a keyboard. If anybody who has an Xbox 360 play with a keyboard and a mouse and plays a game like Halo 3, I 'doubt' they will actually beat controllers because Controllers is a lot more comfortable (It's small, and there aren't that much keys to use) than a keyboard and a mouse where you have to spread your arms, possibly tire out your right hand at the same time. But seriously, if players who hates controllers are just people who just loves to spend a lot of money than something cheaper and a bit better. I have to say that expert PC gamers are good, but most of them won't be newbie-friendly to anybody, usually most of them would type out "Boom headshot... I pwn you" for all I know and ask some of the new players to sell their game. That may be similar to the controller part, but since the controllers are a bit easier than PC keyboards, they could just do a comeback. For all I know, some people with controllers actually take cover when PC gamers just hit and run. So my answer for this poll, is a yes.

Eh, I find myself more comfortable with a mouse and keyboard. I'll be happy to kick the asses of all the people who play with gamepads come H2PC.
