I'll be on tonight, and how well i play depends on whether its s-pad or k+m time. I promise not to go AWOL for 20 minutes again tho

that was enjoyable, i do love a bit of a sniper duel even though i'm fairly crap at it. that's why coagulation is awesome, there's a running battle going on midfield with sniper rounds thumping into the rocks around you "WTF?!"

were you using a pad last time or what?

**edit: 'created' another variation on king of the hill for team play. ideally 5/6 each team to play on maps. 'tis called 'ninja hill',

team play on.
start off with sword (to aid team on hill with close quarters combat) and sniper (to aid team attacking hill).
as mentioned, person/team controlling the hill will become invisible, be able to do more damage and be able to take more damage making it less advantageous to attackers.
weapons/vehicles respawn in half the time, default vehicles and weapons on each level.

i have no idea if this will work as intended, it may need rejigging after play. may suit certain maps over others. worth a shot though.

I was using k+m on coag, and pad the rest of the time after methinks. Tbh atm I'm not up to much with either :/

[dataDave]

I wish I had K+M.

I'll be on tonioght from about 10:30 after I've eaten.

[Soi]

k+m = teh cheat!!one!

[dataDave]

Can you spin around quicker with the mouse or what?

[Thurrabred]

Definitely not imo, it's better for precision headshots, but **** for turning cos unlike with a pad where u can just hold it fully left to turn, with mouse you have to keep swiping. Tbh it has its pros and cons, certainly nowhere near as good as having proper k+m input with a game designed for it.

Also the autoaim ****s your head in.

[Soi]

Don't think so. Halo 2 is programmed to respond to stick input only, and so you couldn't turn faster just because another type of input device was plugged in. Anyway, I play on look sensitivity 10 and turn plenty fast enough with the sticks.

For me Halo 2 is about sitting on a sofa, with a head set, playing on live with a nice telly and good sound. K+M would ruin it for me.

[Thurrabred]

Jeebus, how can u aim long mid-long distance with that sens, anything over 8 gives me nosebleeds.

[dataDave]

****! totally forgot about look sensitivity!! Woargh! this is dead good!

I'm at a sensitivity of 7/8 I think atm. I'm slightly more suited to a slower more accurate game personally. I find that for aiming 7/8 is perfect, but for moving it's too slow so I'm trying to move it up slowly without compromising accuracy or quality... I might end up changing it game by game depending what we're playing...

[PeteJ]

I play at 10 too (I think...), but my style of play suits the fast spinnin' around nature. Run in, blam blam kablamo, run out.

[Thurrabred]

See in halo 1 I had no probs, could happily play at 5-6 sens and feel content, good a close range battles, good at long range sniping/pistoling.

Now in halo 2, i'm ****ed, anything less than 7 feels slow in toe to toe battles, but anything over 5 and i can't snipe Rik Waller.
