I’ve asked this question in the general discussion area, but it doesn’t seem that people are taking much notice of it, so I will try getting peoples attention here (if this is not acceptable on the forum, then I apologize for being a noob).
First I’d like you to take a quick look at the original thread: Keyboard & Mouse on console.
Now… if you could provide some input to the discussion, that would be much appreciated.
If you want to play with a keyboard and mouse you might just as well get a PC.
Well, there is one thing for it, it costs $150 though… And I don’t have the link. It also kinda sucks.
It’ll be unfair.
KB+M players will dominate multiplayer.
No thanks, a mouse is 100% easier to use than a dual stick controller, its litterally a night and day difference due to how accurate a mouse is.
Not to mention, a keyboard is also pretty handy if you need alot of buttons.
My friend is a PC gamer.
I made him buy a 360 to play Halo, he tryed to play with the controller but he just couldn’t so he bought something to play with Keyboard and mouse (can’t remember what) and after like 4 days he went back to controller saying that if felt really different from normal PC games because of forced aim assist etc.
As this topic has nothing to do with Halo 4, and you had original started the same thread in another forum, I’m locking it.
Keyboard and Mouse have been available for Xbox since the original Xbox. First there was Smart Joy Frag, then there was the XFPS, and now there are a whole slue of mouse and keyboard adapters for Xbox 360. Without any doubt, the best mouse and keyboard adapter available for the Xbox 360 is either XIM3 and/or XIM Edge.
These adapters do not give PC quality control, all they do is emulate the Joystick. There is still acceleration, there is still a max turn rate. These adapters are bound by what the joystick and game allow. The XIM3/Edge have something called Smart Translators which provide as-good-as-it-gets 1:1 translation, but even with a Smart Translator, its still not PC quality control.
XIM is not skill in a box. It will not give you perfect aim. It will not compensate for bad decisions, lack of map knowledge, or bad teamwork. All XIM (and other sub-par adapters) does is provide an input solution for people who dislike the joystick.
People should also be aware that despite whatever your personal opinion is, using a mouse and keyboard adapter does not break the Xbox Live terms of use. Additionally, Microsoft Xbox Support has confirmed that using a Mouse and Keyboard adapter will not get you banned from Xbox Live.
