Dude,


Check the other Halo 2 threads.

[MercTec]

I saw them, just thought it would be nice to have it all in one place.

[fryKing]

maybe we could start a 2+2 XBL clan?

my gamertag is the same as my username here. I suck at Halo 2 though, I miss my mouse and keyboard.

look at the "Got it" thread, I like the idea too.

The thing I like about Xbox live games is it doesn't come down to hardware, cfg files, etc. Everyone's got the same controller and console, it ends up being a match of who has the most skill with the given tools.

whats a cfg file do?

[MercTec]

Well I still have the huge monster hand sized controller that I got with the orignal packaging. Thinkin about getting a smaller wireless. But yeah....a level playing field is nicer than when somone is running Unreal Tournament on a supercomputer and you chug along an a 800Mhz P3

A wireless controller will prevent you from using the chat on Xbox Live. A cfg file is basically like how you arrange your controls, but can be expanded to included macros, dual weapon switching, rocket jumps, etc. It's not really cheating, but it's not really skill.

Fair warning, do not buy madcats, if you need mroe controllers, only get the XBOX barnd ones, all the others feel weird, are not as durable(they break instantly), and if you ever go to someones house, they wont have that smae controller, and your game will be off since you are used to the generic.
my XBL name is same as here also

Freedom from the tangled mess and the stupid cable popping apart when I'm being overly aggressive.....and laziness of course
