serverandenforcer 33 Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) Well, my Xbox 360 just kicked the bucket a few minutes ago. That thing has been with me through Iraq. For the abuse it went through, it held up quite well. The warranty has already expired, so I don't know if I should send it in for repairs, or go out and get a new Xbox. Anyways, I'll be missing some MW2 time untill I can find a solution to this problem... which probably won't take too long.

Phillip58 1 Posted August 28, 2010 MW2......just gotta love that classic game! My advice, buy a new XBox, repair will most likely cost much more than a new one. Phillip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted August 28, 2010 I have a question re:-XBox please? The one thing I have never liked about Consoles..is the Controlers!...I hate them, after 30 mins of gameplay, my thumb is agony! Is it possible to use a Mouse and Keyboard? (probably a daft question..but still) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted August 30, 2010 No mouse/kb support for Xbox, no. It has been proven to many people's satisfaction that people using them will beat the gamepad players every time from playing cross-platform titles like Shadowgrounds. That's why I don't have any FPS games like CoD for my 360, just 3rd person stuff, racing (with my wheel), and flying...although I admit I find flying with the gamepad hard.

Von Paulus 8 Posted August 30, 2010 No mouse/kb support for Xbox, no. It has been proven to many people's satisfaction that people using them will beat the gamepad players every time from playing cross-platform titles like Shadowgrounds. A top gamepad player wouldn't have a chance against a low average keyboard/mouse player. That's the reason why there aren't more cross-platform titles.

serverandenforcer 33 Posted August 31, 2010 Eh, I've never really been fond of PC FPS games. The mouse just doesn't feel right to me as oppose to using a game pad. Oh, I know that a mediocre mouse user will hand my rear to me if I used a game pad... but for me, a game pad is a lot more comfortable and manageable to use. The next thing I need to get is a PS3 though. Free online gaming... way better than Xbox Live's $50.00 annual fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted August 31, 2010 I have tried the Xboxes granted for driving games they are hard to beat but give me a PC anyday for Flight Sims they cannot be beaten... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted September 1, 2010 Considering I was playing FPS games before gamepads were invented or they were on consoles, it feels perfectly natural to me! I just don't see how you can aim properly without aim assist (which is unnecessary with a mouse). The entire range of motion on a gamepad is represented by a thumbstick with a fixed range of motion of less than 1". You can move a mouse as much or as little as you want and adjust the sensitivity on the fly. While I admit the left stick is a little easier than WASD on a keyboard, as soon as I start hitting the other keys (like running and jumping at the same time) the gamepad becomes more "thinking" about it while on the kb I just do it.
