What the hell are microsoft thinking... for xbox gamers this could be about the dumbest move microsoft could make as the xbox players are not going to have a chance against the pc players. Everyone knows thats the mouse and keyboard config owns over a controller anyday in any fps, theres no question about it.

edit:
oh yeah, and it cost money to use it. I can imagine the day when microsoft have the right to charge us money to breath their oxygen.

What do you mean??? Xbox gamers will not have chance against PC gamers?!
I play Halo 1 & 2 at home and it's great and easy. PC gamers vs Xbox gamers will be evenly matched.

Like hell they will. The pc version of halo 1 was a joke, even on the hardest settings it was a cake walk to play... and thats because of the controls used, the reaction times and accuracy of a mouse cannot be matched by a analog stick when it comes to fps games, racing games on the otherhand analog owns.

I would love to see someone try beating UT2004 on godlike with a control pad.

I believe you're still thinking in line with the old style gamepads. Modern gamepads are much, MUCH more responsive then the older ones.

Also a l33t mouse/keyboard combo is only as good as the skill of the person using it. A skilled 360 player will kick the ass of a noob PC gamer no matter WHAT his rig.

I am playing Halo 1 and 2 on Xbox and it's easy, maybe easier than on PC (where I also have Halo 1).

I think my opinions purely because i must have never seen anyone good play with a controller.

I still think its a terrible idea to link the two different systems, especially at a cost. A simple service like that should not cost money.

Whoever thinks someone with a controller can beat someone with a mouse in an accuracy based game is in for a big surprise. Controllers are limited in turning rates, Mice are not. This is why I don't like "accuracy" based FPS on consoles such as Goldeneye, Halo, Perfect Dark, etc; the controller limits the game. The FPS on consoles that work are non-accuracy based, such as Metroid Prime.
With a 5 button mouse, I can probably beat most controller players with one hand. ;p

I have played goldeneye with a mouse (using a emulator) & it is easy as eating a pie. In comparison to how much time me & mates wasted on it on the 64 trying to unlock every cheat.

The only fps that i can think of that was actually easier with a controller was mechwarrior3... a controller suited that game well for some reason.

I am telling you, Halo 1 & 2 are easy to play on Xbox controller!!! I don't know about Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, but whenever I organise a tournament in either Halo 1 or 2 I am always the champion!

I don't think the topic is "Is Halo Easy on the Xbox controller" but more of "Which control method is better". I'm simply stating that I can beat anyone who doesn't use a mouse and keyboard one handed, and that accuracy based FPS's on consoles are limited by their controller. To compensate, console FPS's "Aim" for you with Autoaiming, which usually results in Big Gun > Small Gun outcomes.
