Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

However there is no excuse for what we are seeing here. A guy running into a wall in the dark is forgivable. The same guy, with the lights now on, running full tilt at the same wall is not.

I have a feeling there might be a clan H2V sucks. LOL!

Auto-aim in a PC shooter. Is Frankie really that bad?

Are you -blam!- retarded?

Have you ever played halo2 on the xbox? Obviously not as without the auto aim it would be impossible to hit anything and the same would hapen on the pc.. so whats the problem if the people using controllers have a slight auto aim otherwise the controller would be litteraly useless.. dont worry the keyboard and mouse wont have 1 because it doesnt need it!

No, but you definetly are.

Yes I have played Halo 2 on the xbox. It is quite easy to hit things without Halo 2 levels of autoaim. Exhibit A; Halo CE. Exhibit B; Unreal Championship II, which has even less autoaim than Halo CE, most weapons require leading and prediction, and people still die hella fast.

The lastest update for Halo 2 Vista confirmed "some" auto-aim for keyboard and mouse, which means that the 360 controller will have Halo 2 levels of autoaim.

The fact that you suck bad enough to need that level of assist doesn't mean the rest of us want to be saddled with your lead shoes, especially on a PC.

Anyway, to get back on topic if Bungie wants me to buy Halo 2 again, they have to include enough stuff different from Halo 2 Xbox to make it worthwhile.

Custom Single Player is a huge selling point for Halo. I really want to hear the reasoning behind it not being included. I can't think of a single legitamite reason not to do so.

I disagree that we need any form of auto-aim at all. Bungie should tone down the hitboxes as well.

The mouse and keyboard is clearly superior to the controller. We do not need auto-aim of any sort.

You have never played me before kid and I 100% guarentee i will -blam!- you with ease if you want a 1v1. The fact that your just talking our of your ass about being able to play good without the autoaim in H2 Xbox is ridiculous; I suggest some of you try it.. the only way is trying to BR your own team mate as there is obviously no auto aim on them.. and the chances of you killing them with a BR is extremely slim at best (sure you can kill them but it will take a hell of a long time and maybe with some lucky nades).

So yeah if u want that 1v1 leave a post here (cancelled my XBL accounts, so can only play on XBC)

Also as I mentioned above where does it say the mouse will have autoaim in the update, as you so nicely pointed out?

Bungie is making all of that effort to stop cheating when they are putting in an aimbot? Real smart.

Heheheh, whether is has autoaim or not, I'll just disable it in Vista. If I buy it. If I decide to upgrade to Vista.

My question is, will H2:V support 64 bit, or run without issue on a 64 bit OS? If not, I don't care how shiny it is, I won't buy it. And don't tell me Vista supports 64 bit. I wanna know if H2:V will.

If there's autoaim for controllers, it will be a VERY short time before a hack will come out enabling it for mouse.

I personally would love to see swipe-sniping with a mouse. You could theoretically kill everyone in them map in one shot if your mouse input screwed up and you started to spin round wildly.

Things H2V will need better then Halo 2 xbox. Fixed hit boxes, and less bullet magnetism, and no autoaim, just reticle stick.
Also RapieR_iPro, get Halo PC and play multiplayer and see how fast you get owned when you use a controller.
All a controller might need is reticle stick when your with in like 1/2 degree of a person. H1 had no auto aim just reticle stick. People still killed people on H1 on xbox without autoaim.
H1PC>H2 Its my personal preference. Its more fun and there are less idiots complaining about things, except the netcode, I really hate the netcode.

you are wrong.

1. they have no plans of making HUD lag (what you guys call "autoaim") as of now.

2. Live? we arent talking about freakin' Xbox's cheap-o service

why, cause you get all the custom things you could do for Halo CE, better graphics, possibly new maps, and more stuff, like they might finaly put the FRC into Multiplayer!


We have the FRC in HaloPC multiplayer and it is an over-powered noob magnet. No need to do us any favors and bring that garbage weapon back.


In HPC, the fuel rod, or the "noob tube" was obviously overpowered, but it was hopeless at long range, like the rocket, all you have to do is to snipe the fuel rodder, same goes in H2V, except this time, the Fuel rod is painfully slow, same strategy, same ownage.

Thanks for letting me know although I have played Halo PC since it was released and never used a controller apart from on the xbox

Dude, I don't think you realize that we'll be playing with mice and keyboards, not controllers. We won't need giant hitboxes and severe game-crippling godlike auto-aim. I'm pretty confident that I could kick your ass in a one-on-one with no auto-aim if we both had mice and keyboards, because that's what people should be playing with on a freaking PC shooter.

Yeah, after all that we heard about the Editing Kit, I'm rather disappointerd. You can't even create level geometry in it. I guess we'l have to make our levels out of prefabs.

The inability to mod SP is really disappointing as well. This is what has helped many games, such as Half Life 2, live on for years.




Well if the yactuial had exclusive content, I'de feel more like buying as would many other people.

Coincidentally today happens to be my 34rth birthday. Judging by your grammar, syntax and general demeanor, I would say that I've probably been gaming far longer than you've been alive.

Be quiet, adults are talking.


So yeah if u want that 1v1 leave a post here (cancelled my XBL accounts, so can only play on XBC)


How, how convenient, and I suppose you want host as well. You've already had far more of my time than you deserve.


Also as I mentioned above where does it say the mouse will have autoaim in the update, as you so nicely pointed out?


Brush up on the comprehension skills.

Holy crap, happy birthday! I would have sent you a GeForce 8800 or something, but I don't know where you live or who the hell you are. So, happy birthday. :)

This Rapier Guy's a -blam!- idiot. 5 bucks says hes never played a pc shooter. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. if your dumb enough to use a controller on a pc 1. you probably would've quit by now and 2. i don't see why anyone (BUNGIE) should be giving professional idiots a helping hand.
