Brute force - possibly the worst controls ever.

[Argo]

I've never seen controls so couner-intuitive before. You use the left thumbstick to move forward/backwards and to turn left/right. The right thumbstick is used to look up/down and to strafe left/right. Just try to visualize that and see how ackwards it is.

Instead of assigning movement actions to the left stick and looking to the right - they split 'em between the two. I've been walking aimlessly through the map looking either at my feet or at the skies.

Sounds like you dont play on consoles much. Its the same way on Halo. Give it a few and you get used to it....its the best set up Ive seen on a console...but it sure dosent beat a moucse and keyboard.

No, Halo has left stick for forwards/back and strafe left/right, and right stick for looking up/down, and turning left/right.

The turn/strafe on Brute Force is on the other stick to what it is on Halo.

Which to me sounds REALLY stupid, and I have a bad enough time with Halo coming from a PC FPS background!!

im inclined to agree with CrowDog ....
did either of your complainers try configuring the controller? Because, my controller is setup so that right thumstick is responsable for all movement, left for aiming.
Everyone seemed to be ok with that system for turok and goldeneye back in the day, and short of hooking up a keyboard and mouse (which yeah, that would be nice) there arent really better options

Now I do have one complain over the controlls .... I would like that you could swap the jump and use item button like in halo u could swap gernade and jump....

on a broad scale im not to happy with the game in general, the concept of the squad seems useless, i mean, more often than not, i just have one person do all the killing while my squad is holding ground, the ai is too stupid, theyll stand in front of a frickin turret.

This game looked SOOOO good in previews, I almost reserved it to buy as soon as it was out, glad i tried before i bough....

CrowDog is right, that is the same setup in Halo. Not to mention Splinter Cell and most other console shooters. I suppose if youre used to mouse and keyboard it can be awkward at first.

No it's not the same as halo. I own both games so I'm sure about that. Halo used left thumbstick exclusively for moving and right one for looking. Here, both thumbsticks take care of moving and looking at the same time. It's virtually impossible to aim at enemies while moving.

RTFM...its a simple console game! Should take a Masters Degree to figure out how to play a xbox game🙂 I have been gameing for 20 years and have played my share of games with crappy controls....this game wasent one of them...I had no problem getting used to it within 15min....

My biggest complaint with Brute Force is zooming. Why in the world does the crosshair move slower when zoomed in? I found it really hard to track targets because of it.
