Halo |OT8| A Salt on the Control Room
- Thread starter The Librarian
- Start date
One thing I like about CS:GO is that the controls are completely customizable. I can only dream how awesome it would be for Halo.
I'm probably the odd one out, but that turned me off. I'm sure its great and would be in the long run, but there were so many controls and options that I couldn't figure out what worked best, kept getting killed, and turned it off.
Cool, thanks yo. I thought I had heard problems with some of that mix, but maybe not.

You only customize if there's something you already know will work better or have an idea you want to try out. If the default is fine for you, do you need a change? You missed the point of custom controls.
What? No.
The default wasn't working for me, that's why I changed it. Well, I attempted to anyway. I tried to match them up to Halo controls but it seems there are more options than there are controls/buttons. Then I ended up with blank spots but no more buttons. I think it'd be fine, but for me I'd rather have that in addition to a few set control schemes to choose from.

I would only ever use custom controls to troll friends that come over by giving them loadouts like "press any button to shoot," jump on right and left trigger, etc.

the one thing I thought was odd is that Walk is unbound by default (I think). Walk is so useful in CS

I spent ages trying to do the glitch on The Covenant that let you control one.
I think I pulled it off once.

Does that hide you from radar or something? How does the radar work lol. Confused the crap out of me.
People can't hear your footsteps when you walk. Sound is a crucial element in CS. Radar shows enemy position when they fire a weapon.
I know how to do it and can do it whenever i want, pretty much. Though it needs default controls, can't claw really so pressing trigger, B and crouching at the same time isn't easy...
The trick is crouch on above the gunner seat, that doesn't give "Press RB to Board" message, so holding it and shooting the driver is simple.
Well, maybe not so simple, this time the frigging thing rotated constantly, trying to drop me...
Ken you are hitting up Guild Wars 2 as well? Where will all your P4arena time go then? :O
I'm thinking of taking the leap as well.
The only other games this year that interest me are Borderlands 2 and Tekken Tag 2. TTT2 is a must buy for me before H4, then it's all H4 till probably Dead Space 3 or Bioshock Infinite.

OK so someone is only on radar when they fired/firing?
but you can still be heard when running?
and you are silent when walking?

P4A talk....
Yeah. That's what I've observed from a week of playing CSGO, at least.

It's worth it. Pre-Xbox Slim disc drives are noisy fuckers. I install every game.

Gotta come up with a new word now.
Why wouldn't walk just be bound to tilting the analog stick? That's the whole point of analog sticks vs digital keys.
P4A talk....
Not sure what to make of this, unless you are from Europe and feel left out that you can't play it till whenever the fuck Atlus gives it to the Euro peasants.

Soooo... the problem wasn't the customization, it was the lack of buttons. You realize this means that you'd have the same issue with a preset configuration, right? So how does that solve the problem?

Really. What a shame.Not normal Xbox but S
Still makes enough noise i prefer games installed.

you're silent when walking, and your reticule gets as small as if you're crouching. Sound is a huge part of CS, people can tell where you are and even what weapon you have. Radar shows who's shooting where, and then their last known position
Enough noise i don't like leaving games uninstalled for S anyway, don't know about others standards.
But them i'm the kind of person who could stay shut up for days or weeks if possible, and likes absolute solitude.

Wrong.
I see it as a usability issue, one that frustrated me personally.

I think its one of those things where you dont see the advantage at first but after playing for awhile like you play Halo in great amounts you'd love to be able to swap a few controls here and there to suit your individual needs. Regardless its thoughts like these that are detrimental to development of a lot of console options and leave us with inferior games to PC games with pages and pages of options to suit players. Some of which are pretty nice options.
Default seems pretty good for me in CSGO so far, but I claw so I wouldn't know about the struggles of inferior controller holdings.

I realize that. I think instead of remarking on the customizable controls, a legitimate complaint would be the "shitty port" argument. Don't release on console if you aren't going to put in the effort to make it function fully. That's my view.

I haven't had a problem with it yet. It's been a little weird getting used to LB->Y to unscope, but aside from that it's fine. I might switch Walk to L and Crouch to LS though
I agree, and I said that too in a way, just probably not clear enough. I'm not against it, just that I didn't like default and the customization experience frustrated me enough to not care to get into the game more.
A few set schemes to choose from in addition to the mapping would have helped me. A scheme would mean someone played it and decided "well this combination works pretty good" and would have been a nice starting point for me.
I don't see how me expressing exactly what happened to me is keeping features out of games though.
Are all the modes in CS 1 life per round? I'd try again but its difficult to get going with only 1 life every few minutes.
But my problem was with the customization, that's why I remarked on it.

Sorry, HaloGaf and friends, I've got my little cousin over at the moment (till Monday), so I can't accept any of your invites, mainly sticking to customs.
Also sick of typing the same reply over and over again on XBL.
Love you all.
And those were some fun ass customs...again.
(also wanna play some BS MP with you kittens, next week!)

Highly informative post.
360 and OXbox Halo 1 work with each other. The 360 is emulating everything, including the original Xbox's networking.

You know.. replaying Counter-Strike makes me wonder why the heck hasn't any games tried to implement a similar Hostage mode..
My work has been killing me lately too. These 14 hour days are getting old.

Didn't know they didnt set up a few schemes. Thats weak.
I do like the scale of the sensitivity options. Why Halo doesn't have that shit is so technologically backwards at this point. Fine tuning is awesome. I set my sensitivity to 1.3 cause Monkey said that. On Halo there is just ten settings. In every Halo I've found 10 is too slow. Its pretty annoying.

Yes. You can also setup an offline bot game at whatever difficulty to test out controller configurations and the like.

Not sure you've seen this Fyre, but PeteTheDuck's Forge Quacks #20 has a potentially novel solution for making this map in the Reach Forge editor:
Stack em' shits!
Win/win
Its possible I missed some default schemes. I'll have to check again, but I didn't see any originally.
I do like the number system for sensitivity, maybe just more numbers, and also have a separate sensitivity for y-axis. That'd be great.
Sweet thanks. I'll have to try that since I do think the game could be fun.
