your right purbeast but when i use m kb/m 9/10 my crosshair never leaves whoever i'm shooting at.

i am off the chains with the smg/magnum combo. it's ten times easier to turn around on the kb/m unless your using lvl 10 on sensitivity on your controller.

i get flamed a lot by using one but it's how i play. anyone else can buy one just as easily as i did.

Are there any besides Halo/Halo2?

Honestly if you love FPS just get a decent computer for the best games are made for PC in my honest opinion.

Xbox is a pretty good system, althought i am still undecided how i feel about halo2. I really liked the pistol in halo1 and halo2 seems way more weapon depandent then the old game. A lot of the situations you encounter in the game totally rely on who has the better combination of weapons. Two SMGs will never beat a pistol and (put gun here). I think a lot of what people play on xbox live thos halo2, all the sports games, ddr🙂, and mech assault1&2
Anyway my new fav game is Smash Brothers for the game cube..god that game is awesome.

<long term FPS junkie on the pc. I sold my gaming rig in January. I miss CS:S so I just bought a mATX rig since I had a spare case. Only a 1600+, gig of ram, 9500 pro but it will do until I can afford a 9300 lappy😀

I dont think that will be running CS:S anytime soon

maybe not with any eyecandy but it will run it. going to pop in a 2500+ barton soon as I get the cash. it's not near my 3.2/6800OC rig i had but it's better than a 400mhz laptop that i've been on🙁

Why on earth did you sell your 3.2 rig

yeah, buddy of mine bought it as soon as it came out. he said MP is actually pretty good, single player mode is great..I've only played the demo for the pc so far.

I don't play Halo 2 as much because of everybody hitting standby, people quitting in the middle of the game, etc....it's not as much fun as when it first came out. The new Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is coming out soon, that should be a good MP game. Call of Duty feels a little weird on the xbox, but it's not bad. Decent MP. Ghost Recon 2 is pretty good online. SW: Battlefront is a fun game for single player, but i have never been able to play a decent online game...always way too much lag. only game that i *always* get lag on.

My friends play with a lvl 10 sens....I tried it but its insane. I have no clue how people are actually accurate with that thing. If you ever try to aim quickly you spin halfway around lol. They also showed me a few glitches that halo has. Like if you have a sniper rifle with a high sens and swipe a area at the same time you fire anything in that area will get shot. And this area does NOT have to be small. I have seen videos where the shot goes no where near the guys head but he swiped the right place and got a headshot.
 
Top 25 Xbox Live Games for the week. (Most Played)

Most of the top 10 are FPS.

Halo 2
Ghost Recon
Rainbow Six Black Arrow
Counter Strike
Star Wars Republic Commando
Brothers in Arms

There's also some other great non FPS games for Live. Burnout 3 and Crimson Skies are two great ones. But I have to admit I haven't played either of them since Halo 2 came out. But once the new Splinter Cell comes out I think I'll be playing that more than Halo.

Yeah if you have never played CS on the computer i can see how it would be a fun game. But if you have ever played CS for the PC then you really will hate the game, you will know what you are missing.


God CS is like 100 years old and i still love it..someday CS:S will be the same

it was ok, i tried it with a controller a few months ago but haven't with my kb/m yet.
man i love that adapter, it improved my game 5x better in halo 2. i'm only like alevel 9 in rumble pit(leveling up as fast as i can) but i can hang with my roommate's bro who is a level 15. he just knows everything there is to know about the game and can use that against me.

hold the sword/rocket launcher. have the rocket launcher chosen and aim at a target. the cursor HAS to be red, or else this wont work. while the cursor is red, press Y to switch weapons. this is where it takes timing ...

as the weapons are switching, press the R button. if you do it correctly, you will fly towards the rocket launcher target w/your sword out and you will get the 1 hit kill with the sword (if they dont move out of the way of course).

the timing is hard to get down. the way to do it i would recomment is look for the split second when the rocket launcher reticle is gone away, and before the sword reticle comes up. thats the exact moment to press it.

iuts fun to screw around wth, but pulling it off in an actual matchmade game is near impossible. heck, getting the sword/rocket is hard in its own. i personally HATE the sword and steer clear of it.

Yeah i hate the sword..Its so cheap and easy to kill people with. In games i will sually pick it up and just use antoher weapon just so someone else cant have it.

How about the glitch where youc an fly acrros any map like bloodgultch with one swing of the sword?...


If you get in the passenger side of the wort hog with the sword and then ahve you friend get close the vehicle. Let your friend get close but not too close that you will actually kill him. When the reticle is red push R...Nothing will happen. Now have your friend run accross to the other side of the map...Now jump out..YHou will fly to the top of the map and to the other side...weird eh?

I wouldn't waste to much time learning these tricks. Bungie said that in the next update they are taking these glitches out. Just an FYI.
