Holy crap dude! You're Cal-i? Isn't that like the 1337ness?

I think it is even harder to get into Cal-invite nowdays.
You have to go through Cal-open - > Inter -> main -> prem - > invite.

Back in the days, they only had Cal-o / main / invite.
We got to the championship game in cal-O / won main the following season.

Pretty hard to do, consider there are over 20,000+ teams that join each season.

I feel your pain man. In Halo for the PC, I utterly dominate. Switch over to the Xbox and one's skills (honed on a KB/mouse) drop down to mediocre at best. I hate playing FPSes with a controller.

I have the hardest time with the two joysticks. The keyboard and mouse combo is one of the best control styles for FPS, IMHO.

Bingo.

If you suck at it, it's your fault. All of the players are bound to the same rules/limitations, so you cannot blame the equipment.

Oh heeey man.. I see your problem, and I have a suggestion.

First, now that you cryed us all a sweet little river, I went out and got you some wood, a hammer, and a small pile of nails. So how about you do us all a favor and build a bridge and get the fvck over it mmkay? There is no keyboard/mouse adapter for the Xbox, and there will never be one. Contrary to popular belief, its a console, not a computer. Get over it. :roll:

I hope you get banned for that. Flame the guy, sure, but that was completely uncalled for.

i thought it was pretty good. in fact, i gave him a 10. flame with illustrations? bravo.
Click to expand...

that was possibly the best flame ever!

would anyone want to coop campaign when Halo 2 comes out?:beer: I'm too much of a wimp to go at it alone if there's flood in it again. I hate those b!tches 🙁

yea, the flood scares me too, they freaking attack in numbers man! I'd co op with ya!

HAHA. Calm down, kid. For those of us who haven't practiced pressing tiny buttons on our Tamagotchis during recess, and instead gathered our skill on a keyboard in mouse for the better part of a decade, switching over is something of a hassle. Not to mention obviously less than optimal.

Now I own an Xbox, a copy of Halo and a few other games. Nothing's better than a console controller for sports and perhaps racing games. But FPSes? The fine control just isn't there. Hammer that simple fact through your thick skull. You might also want to pick up a learnin' book or two to help with your grammar. Cryed? Good lord.

So while I'm sure the prospect of us veteran FPS players coming over and schooling your n00b ass is scary, try to deal with it better than by lashing out - kay? You know you're one helluva loser when you spring a flame on someone for four sentences commiserating with someone for the loss of their favourite input controller. :roll:

I have a penis, just so you know 🙂

And for those who are saying they're mediocre with a control pad but "0wn" with a kb+mouse - you obviously didn't watch the AGP finals this past weekend. Any of those guys with the controller would beat the kb+mouse guys. Mid-air 180 sniper shots to the head, total team/powerup control, etc.
 
Ummm no.


I played with people that high level skilled almost everyday.

Check out www.thecpl.com / www.ugsleague / www.gotfrag.com / www.sogamed.com
AGP is NOT anywhere as big as CPL.

CPL is featured on most major news, magazine, as well as hosting 3 $150,000+ tournies a year.
You should see what WE can do with a Kb+Mouse.

www.caleague.com (the online league of the CPL)

Being cal-inivite (top 32 teams in Caleague) means you are playing at the highest level in North America / world, trust me when I tell you that you won't find a SINGLE 'pro' FPS PC player saying a controller would beat kb+mouse guys.

I suggest you do some research next time you talk.
I welcome you to talk to some professional gamers such as www.team3d.net / Fatality / SK and ask if ANYONE would agree with your view.

The max potential for controller is far less than a keyboard. For example, if XBOX halo was compatiable with PC version, the top 10 teams in the world would not have a single person using a controller setup. PERIOD.
 
Why the hell are you guys arguing anyway. Yes, the keyboard and mouse is better but the whole point is that when you're on the console, everyone is using a controller so its even. When you're on the computer, everyone is using a kb/mouse combo. They're different skills, different players.

Its two seperate systems you god damn idiots. If you don't like it, don't play. It's that god damn simple. And while the beer is talking, why the hell are so many of you so fvcken stupid. The console players make a point that he sucks at the game on xbox and to stop blaming the controller. Then all you pc player geeks come in and flame about how the kb/mouse is better. Where the hell did that come from. When did the console b1tches say that the controller was better? They said he sucks at the controller and stop b1tching and you b1tches just come in and b1tch some more. Well stop b1tching so god damn much.
 
I just checked out AGP,
they hosted a $10,000 Halo tourney last weekend.

CPL also hosted a $30,000 halo tourney I believe last time during the main CS event.


You find me a CPL/Cal player that would agree with you.
 
LOL this thread reminds me of a floormate our dorm had last year...

Everytime he died he'd always say "This Game is Flawed!" He also mentioned about writing to the company and manufactures that were involved in the making of HALO and complaining to them. Yeah, its just because he sucked.

ROFL

I like your style of bitching Kelvrick.


What if the apple and the orange are lanned together?

Then who is better?
Click to expand...

the keybaord. i think theres was only one person in here that said the controller would be better. in general the controllers are just more convenient, invite a bunch of friends over for a quick lan game iwthout everyone lugging around their computers has their advantages.
 
I used a keyboard on my xbox 🙂 But it was a spliced in usb keyboard with my modded xbox running linux 🙂 har har
