I just got Unreal Championship on Xbox, Damn so used to the PC, Keyboard and mouse, Can't get used to this controller for FPS. Are they going to make a Keyboard and Mouse for the Xbox Maybe?, I sure would be gratefull if the did.:)

A mouse and keyboard would be preferable for fps games, however after a while you get use to using the pad. :cool:

For an FPS on a console, Halo has an extremely intuitive control scheme. I still have to learn how to aim properly (which will never be as good as using a mouse/keyboard) but this doesn't bother me all that much. Dang, I need to stop playing that demo and go out and buy the full game.

Halo was so brilliantley done from a Console Controller point of view, every other developer should take a hint.

Are the controls for Unreal Championchip the same as they are in Halo?

Also is it basically Unreal Tournament 2003 for the XBox?

Yeah, the controls are pretty much the same I think. I don't think that UC has some levels that UT2k3 has, I played the game thru a bunch of times and still didn't get to fight Malcom at the end:confused:

I remember reading an article a while back that said they didn't want keyboard and mouse support for the xbox live fps because they said it would get an atvantage to keyboard people over the pad people.
I for one can never get use to the pad on fps games. My skill level is cut in half even though I have been playing fps on consoles since doom was ported to the snes.

It is the Xbox version of UT2K3 but its on a lower res, lower color depth, and doesn't look as polished. If I had a PC that could even remotely run UT2K3, I'd much rather play that.
