Buy an arcade stick. It's the way the game is meant to be played anyways. Unless you plan to use shortcut keys, which are a couple of steps away from being suitable for the Wii so that grandma can play too.
When people say that CoD4 fans just suck at Halo, it sounds retarded, but it has some truth to it.
To be honest the only reason I think CoD4 is so popular is cause it's so EASY. Seriously, beating any enemy in that game requires simple to fire for half a second in the general direction of an enemy. Sniping usually is a one hit kill, and spraying the P90 all over a tight space will clean rooms in low lag scenarios.
The masses try Halo 3, find it a bit hard, and move on too a prettier, easier game.
I'm not saying that CoD4 is a bad game, I play it all the time. All I'm saying is why I think it's so popular with the masses.
It's like when I played Mario Kart: DD on the old Cube. I got sick of how easy it was, even though it was pretty and had tons of features. I switched to F-Zero GX looking for a challenge, and to play something that required more than basic skills to win.
While I'm at it, I just wanna say that the Headquarters game type is broken. Respawns in that level usually give one team an absurd advantage.
Wow... A lot of nitpicking. The placement or side of his weapon? Seriously?
I understand that a lot of people made their own version of Shepard, but all of the official game art had that particular design. The game was marketed with that image.
Customizing your character is just an option, like changing the name of your characters in any other RPG. I was really into making my own guy, but halfway through it decided to go with the character the actual writers of the story created.
Some of the comments on this thread make me sorry for humanity.
"Lord knows no one who speaks Spanish has ever come here legally."
After the US invaded Puerto Rico much like they invaded Iraq they added a few million legal spanish speaking citizens. I guess God wouldn't know about that.
And what the hell is the deal with being anti-Canada? Honestly? Is it that horrible to share the continent with another country of white english speakers who somehow manage to have less crime and better healthcare than the states while at the same time being as free as the states? What, does that make some americans feel less special and incites mindless hostility?
I didn't think racism and ignorance where that badly spread until I started playing on Xbox Live.
Just run away as much as you can, camp in safe places and get the Wraith near the end of the level. It's what I did and did ok.
I'm about to face the Cortana level on my own on legendary. I fear I'll shoot myself. I've almost hung myself trying and barely missing the stepping razor achievement.
