what's this i've heard about...

.... UC not having much up/down aiming involved?

i thought we'd left doom far behind us?

isn't it about time someone released a fucking decent fps accessory / mouse combo for a console...

like Belkin's N50 Nostromo Speedpad.

i mean god, that thing has TOP CONSOLE FPS accessory written all over it.

Yeah I have one and wish they would make it compatible. Halo would become a serious online game then. :)

There is an MS thing like a gamepad for the PC but you can move half of it around to control aim.

Consoles should make a pad based on that. It isn't as good as a KB/mouse but better than a gamepad.

You mean the RTS programmable brick thing?

I dunno. No one seems to be able to do it right. XBox controllers are a partial improvement on "the past" by having pressable sticks for crouching, but you'll never be able to get enough buttons on them, and whether they'll ever let you make scripts for console FPS games is also debatable.

I hadn't heard anything much about UC gameplay, but to be honest if they have designed it to reduce up down then it's probably a good thing. It means you can play the game better on the limiting controllers most console gamers are stuck with. There's no point reproducing PC FPS on consoles directly cause you can't play them right. It has to be best to make the game suit the system.

So yeah, UT2003 it is then...

yaka refers TO....

... the M$ dual-strike pad.

look it up.

b) halo's pad controls are FINE. i find it remarkably intuitive... after the first level i was fine....
yeh it could be better like, but still..


and the pressable analogue sticks.... the PS1/2 has been doing that for YEARS....

Think I'll buy this. Should be fun. Obviously I'll get UT2003 as well :)

Controls on Halo were actually pretty good. Doesn't compare to a mouse but after playing the new Medal of Honour game on PS2 it makes you glad of the XBox pad. The PS2 analogue sticks seem to have a huge dead-zone which makes precise movement/aiming almost impossible :(

/edit: hmm, that date seems to have moved :/

i agree

Halo controls are as good as they get for console FPS'en....

timesplitters on PS2 was abominable, i just couldn't do it... it's made me totally avoid FPS on that format..... hell even the first person aiming in MGS2:SOL is a tad pants....

I'm still at a loss as to what's so bad about having a PS2.

heh

i have a PS2 and an XBox tho... and a dreamcast gathering dust as i don't have enough room in my bedroom to have them all out at the same time....


PS2 is definitely the best of the bunch though, far better than my sis's gamecube too.

but there IS a place for the xbox...
