I've finally been able to say I am comfortable with the controller. It's taken over a year. At first I was in denial and using the mouse and keyboard while playing Halo 2 on the original xbox. but when I got the 360 there was no option for that. It took allot of patience, but with great benefit. Now I don't need to spend $400 on upgrades every time a new game comes outiluvquake4 wrote:I've played for awhile, but got bored out of my mind with constantly fighting the controller just to hit something that would have been shot in less than half a second with a mouse for aiming. The controllers are a pain in the ass for shooter games. If someone comes out with an alternative (perhaps that controller with a mouse ball), I'll revisit the game, otherwise it's just a hassle to bother. It's like trying to run in sandals vs. proper running shoes. You need the right equipment to enjoy the activity.

I was about the same way, except I basically totally skipped Halo. I played it once against one of my cousins who was 15 at the time. He raped me as I was pointing out I needed a keyboard and mouse for this shit.Giraffe }{unter wrote: I've finally been able to say I am comfortable with the controller. It's taken over a year.

I finally got used to the controller while playing GRAW.

I hear ya. The only other console fps I played before GRAW was Metriod Prime. It takes a while to get use to it...but once youve played awhile it becomes second nature like a mouse...you dont even have to think about it. Youve definantly got it down, I witnessed your headshots firsthand the other nightSevensins wrote:

I jack the sensativity down with all my games then adjust up slowly as I get used to them. It allows me to aim better, then aim fasteriluvquake4 wrote:All flaming aside, what is the key to aiming with a controller? I must be doing something wrong. :icon27:

there are two, one in your Xbox profile accessable in the dashboard for games like GRAW that do not have sensitivity settings.iluvquake4 wrote:Oh, I didn't notice there was a sensitivity adjustment. Thanks! :icon31:
GOW has on in the controller setup in the game. I am unsure if this setting is affected by the Dashboard setting though....

You can't aim as quickly, but this game doesn't require the kind of fast mouse action that a game like quake does.

Co-op is only 2 player, but the way it's implemented is flawless.
Start a game in single player and if your buddy loges in just send an invite and he pops in as DOM without any re-loading on your end.
Start a public co-op match and some random person joins and plays with you. It's pretty sweet.

It's not your fault that you suck at it. Don't worry there are many like you, we slaughter them all the time.iluvquake4 wrote:I've played for awhile, but got bored out of my mind with constantly fighting the controller just to hit something that would have been shot in less than half a second with a mouse for aiming.
