Yes really...

In Response To: Oh really... (MSN)

: Of course I'm biased. I play the game at least 5 hours a day now. I'd love to
: debate the controller/keyboard-mouse setup with you, but we'd need a
: common frame of reference. Unfortunately, you haven't played Halo yet, and
: we can't really have any sort of valid argument until you do.

True, I haven't played Halo yet. Just like Scott Miller, and whoever else, I'm basing my assumtions on what I've played; games with mouse/keyboard (pc games), and controllers (playstation). I'm not saying that a controller sucks, it doesn't. I had a blast playing Timesplitters on PS2. I'm saying that I like the keyboard/mouse config better, more natural, speed/precision... Now, based on what I've played, I can imagine I'd prefer to play halo with mouse/keyboard, just like many other games.

: On second thought, I can refute your argument. Many of the developers on Halo
: enjoy playing FPSs in general (most of which are on the PC). Every single
: developer enjoys playing Halo. Enjoys . If there had been some major
: fundamental design flaw in the controller setup, we would have found it
: about the same time we got the final controller. (That was a long time
: ago.)

Ofcourse you guys enjoy playing Halo, with gamepad, that's not the point. Like I said, I enjoyed playing timesplitters, but aiming with the sniper rifle in syphon filter for instance is a pain in the ass, to say it mildly (I hear aiming with the turret in the jeep is a similar experience, or perhaps worse). Sigh, unfortunately you haven't played halo on PC, with keyboard/mouse yet, so I guess we'll leave this discussion open until you have. >:D

: Bad controls are bad controls, and no amount of habitual use will mitigate
: that trait.

Bad controls? Who's talking about bad controls?

: MSN

Side note: those HL-like red arrows that appear when you're hit are neato. Not sure if you're the one responsible for it.
