MGS2 on 360 Backwards Compatible?

Is there any chance of Metal Gear Solid 2 (Xbox) being backwards compatabile with the 360? if it isnt already?

I'd like to pick it up for it, but didnt see it on the list on xbox.com. Anyone try it out it out? Are there any plans to have it backwards compatible?? *crosses fingers
 
MGS2 uses the original Xbox's analog buttons. 360 face buttons aren't analog, so I doubt it will ever show up.

Have all games that supported the analog buttons not shown up on the list? (are there other games that required it?)

I'm not sure, the only games that I know of that use the analog buttons are DOA3/DOAU (optional) and Substance (required).

Wait they aren't? People complain about the PS3 losing rumble but nobody blinked at analog buttons on the 360?

MGS2 and 3 are probably the only games in the world (at least that I can think of off the top of my head) that had a use for the analog buttons, and probably about 5% of the people who bought the game actually used them correctly ;/

True, but I know I would much rather use triggers, or even the right analog stick over analog buttons.
I am the opposite, the X button is in a much better place for driving and I wouldn't mind seeing more games use them like MGS2/3 did.
 
One of the worst ports i have ever played, better off playing it on PS2. They really didnt give a hoot one the xbox one.

Why don't you Xbots just face the facts? Metal Gear Solid will never be on the 360!

Being an xbot, i thank you for this news. I was living in some sort of daydream fairyland.

This is one of the reasons why Ace Combat 6 plays worse than the PS2 iterations.
