And how long before somebody hacks the game so they can use controller auto-aim with their mouse?

Great going Bungie, you've managed to ruin multiplayer before the game even ships.
As I understand it, if there is "auto-aim" it is in the game, not the pointing device. If they make it so controllers can work with auto-aim on the PC, it will also work with keyboard and mouse.

Of course, if they do that it'll be like everybody running around with an aim-bot. That'll be sad. They could always increase the number of shots for a kill– 5 sniper rounds to the head for a kill!

I've always been using my default, laser, click wheel-enabled white mousy with great success. IMO controllers are superior in that they have every button and function abailable at all times. However, slow turning and a complete disregaurd of three other fingers per hand is where they fall short. I was a die-hard gamepad man until i started WASD and mouse and it cant be beat.

Yes, but the fact that keyboards have a much more flexible control scheme and the fact that there are so many hot-keys to be used for hot-keys more than makes up for a limiting gamepad.

Actualy, I find it eseyer to reach the right buton at right time on the keybord. When I play on the Xbox, I'm always jumping when I mean to melee, or switch wepons when I mean to reload.
But it's even beter for me, because I use joystick/mouse, so I have all the esential butons right under my fingers when I need them.

Never thought of a joy stick. I use the left side of a gamepad (for the analog movement) Only button i have to reach for is exchange weapon.

That's only because you're not used to it. I don't have that problem at all, neither do any of my friends that I play with In real life.

I have a G5 also, so much better than a controller.

That's true, got milk, but the same applies to the mouse and keyboard. I never look down at the keyboard and try to find the space bar so I can jump.
