I’ve spent a LOT of time on Xbox live this week. I’m amazed at how many cheats, aimbots and l33t kids are on it. It took me 5 attempts to make a Gamertag (BTW it’s l33tBally) which leads onto a Gamerscore which leads onto Gamerpoints or something. Halo 3 isn’t anything near as easy as Halo on the PC to set up. First, you get paired to a person in the same rank as you. Personally, I had 3000 Gamerscore’s and I got paired with some majorly l33t fragger. He won something like 30-4!!
CPC was right though, when they said in the PC vs Consoles issue. ” Give any good console gamer a keyboard and mouse and they’ll be better.” (or at least that’s what I thought it said lol) I plugged a USB mouse into the XBOX 360 and a keyboard stolen from my sister and made me at least 1,243,78 times better!!! It just moves more fluidly with the old WASD and mouse combination… Topped a couple of games (Albeit only just!) and that proved it to me.
Where the controller comes through, though, is Racing games. I’ve just got off the XBOX playing Forza Motorsport over LIVE. I was up to 240 (20 for every race) points in an hour before I left. Any person who plays a PC racing game will agree that it is better and easier to control.
Anyway, I’m racing again this weekend. It’s at a track called Topcliffe. It’s one of the best tracks in the AMCA to me, and I bet that I’ll get a top ten finish!!

You get matched in Halo 3 by your level in the certain playlist, not by your gamerscore…
And the gamepad is very good for FPS’s, you just have to get used to it…
A usb mouse can work on a 360 ??
