Videotron 1 edit	Bungie: 'Nobody Plays Shooters With A Mouse And Keyboard' "We did a bunch of ambitious things on Halo deliberately to reach out to people," Jones told us. "We limited players to two weapons, we gave them recharging health, we automatically saved and restored the game -- almost heretical things to first-person shooters at the time. We made the game run without a mouse and keyboard. And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo 'cause nobody wants to." »www.hardocp.com/news/2013/02/19/···keyboard Sell your PC guys! Nobody wants to play a shooter with mouse and KB anymore. Imagine a cross-platform TF2 match in which aim-assist is disabled for those people with a controller joining the map from a console. The tears would be so delicious.

The koolaid is strong with Bungie, and now no one in the PC arena will take them seriously. -- Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Snakeoil Ignore Button. The coward's feature. Premium join:2000-08-05 Mentor, OH kudos:1 Reviews: ·RoadRunner Cable ·magicjack.com	reply to TigerLord lol... I have heard of people using console controllers on their PCs. I hate using a mouse and keyboard, I never fully made the transition from joystick to them. Granted the majority of games I used to play where flight sims, back in the early 90's. Heck, I play WOW, and I'm a keyboarder all the way. Which supposedly is a bad thing. But when I play PC games, I do use a mouse and a keyboard now, just not that efficiently. -- Is a person a failure for doing nothing? Or is he a failure for trying, and not succeeding at what he is attempting to do? What did you fail at today?.

cpsycho join:2008-06-03 HarperLand Reviews: ·Start Communicat.. ·Wightman Telecom	reply to TigerLord I have a buddy that thought he was so good with a controller, always saying he could beat me with one. So I setup my other computer with a analog controller to play counterstrike and I made him cry. I even gave him aim assist. Now he is buying that adapter for a mouse and keyboard for the xbox 360 so he can school people on halo.

bionicRod Funkier than a mohair disco ball. Premium join:2009-07-06 united state kudos:1	reply to TigerLord I have played with controllers my entire life. They are second nature to me. That said, I can't play a FPS with them anymore. In Far Cry 3 I prefer the controller for driving, but can't hit shit with it when I need to shoot someone. If I'm on KB+M, I kill 20 people then hop into a car and run into the nearest tree.

IamGimli join:2004-02-28 Canada kudos:1	reply to TigerLord Sounds like Bungies cord stretched a little too far. It's also funny how they claim they made all those "ambitious things" to "reach out to people" when all they did was make their square game fit the squarer console limitations.

Ghastlyone Premium join:2009-01-07 Las Vegas, NV kudos:2	reply to TigerLord I played the first Halo years ago. That's the only one I've ever played. I thought it was a mediocre pile of crap to be honest. I never did fully understand all the hype behind it. It looked bad, and was buggy as all hell.
