Another massive hint at HALO2 Anniversary.

WHERE IS THIS FROM THO

It's from Larry's official blog.

 

[NemesisPrime]

Good I can now retire my 360 PC controller.

 

[Detective]

WOW
great job.
Now whos the person who said that it wont happen?

Another massive hint at HALO2 Anniversary.

Shit, I'd say we're past the point of hinting now

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Beautiful. I just need a keyboard on my controller like I have for the 360 and it will make me so happy.

 

[Platinum_D]

Well i don't have the Xbox One but i will buy the controller just for my PC

 

[Holygriever]

C'mon Sony.

 

[theytookourjobz]

Anyone know if it gets power from micro usb? Or does it still drain the batteries?

 

[level44]

So...what's better, xbone or 360 controller? Also, no wireless for the xbone controller as of yet, right?

360 is better.
It has much tighter sticks and the bumpers are better.

 

[blastprocessor]

If l buy this for my PC do l just need a micro USB cable?

It gets power

 

[see5harp]

Just played Alan Wake. It's working very well!

 

[SparkTR]

No, the 360 pad is STILL the recommended PC controller.

I'll wait a bit then, the one major thing that looks like it's worth the jump is the new d-pad.

 

[Vuze]

Powered via USB. I don't even have batteries in and it's running fine

 

[Exploratory]

No, the 360 pad is STILL the recommended PC controller.

Ew no the 360 controller is no bueno compared to the XBO controller.

Can Halo 2 be played on a tablet? Halo 2 PC is only available on disc right?

 

[Cru]

When you get familiar with the Xbox One bumpers it's hard going back to the 360 controller.

 

[Sanjay]

Right before E3... Some PC announcements incoming?

Yes, now works with Windows 8.1 Metro. OS seller here we come.

 

[sflufan]

I'll wait a bit then, the one major thing that looks like it's worth the jump is the new d-pad.

The sticks are looser than the 360's (they feel like the sticks on the DS3) and the bumpers are worse than the 360's.

The trade-off just ain't there!

 

[Darksol]

I consider the new controller a downgrade though : Still, good news for those that wanted it.

This. Happy to retire my 360 pad for PC gaming now.

Maybe he pirated it.

haha

 

[Welfare]

My Mini-USB just crapped out on me, gotta go get a new one now.

Dat Halo 2 tease though

 

[forrest]

Great news, but my 360 pads are holding up well. Also using the XB1 pads at the kiosk the bumpers feel pretty bad, any users have opinions on them

 

[Orayn]

C'mon Sony.

Sony probably won't release "official drivers" if it means using a hackish implementation of Microsoft's controller protocol and having mismatched button prompts in every game.

There wouldn't really be any benefit to it, since the fan solutions already do all that and more.

 

[JaggedSac]

That tease!

LOL

 

[Bsigg12]

The sticks are looser than the 360's (they feel like the sticks on the DS3) and the bumpers are worse than the 360's.

The dead zone is much smaller and the bumpers are only worse if you claw the controller.

 

[Hydranockz]

Well i don't have the Xbox One but i will buy the controller just for my PC

I think I am in the same boat as you! I have needed a controller for so long.

 

[topplehat]

I wonder if Halo 2 etc will be released on PC.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Yay! MS really is going full-steam with the string of Xbox-related updates and announcements just before E3.

 

[Bravoexo]

Does that mean I have to have Wifi on my PC?

 

[Kordelle]

Maybe he pirated it.

haha

Xbox One Remote Play at E3 confirmed

 

[John_RiticelloEA]

The Major seems to be playing HALO 2 on a Surface Tablet...... with a XB1 controller

 

[SparkTR]

Can Halo 2 be played on a tablet? Halo 2 PC is only available on disc right?

That's a Surface, basically a laptop in a tablet form factor. And USB DVD drives are a thing.

Can someone actually confirm that the screen isn't from Halo 2 proper? I'd think that an upcoming release on the PC wouldn't have a "Live" option in the menu since it refers to GFWL and the service is on its deathbed.

the sp3 is such a sexy game machine.

Easily the Xbox One controller. The only major adjustment you'd need to make is if you press the bumpers on the 360 controller with the tips of your fingers. If you use the controller the way it was designed, it's perfect (fingers never leave the triggers and press the bumpers with the middle part of your trigger finger).

 

[level44]

Xbox One Remote Play at E3 confirmed

I wouldn't be surpassed if MS actually introduced this.

 

[sunofsam]

Right before E3... Some PC announcements incoming?

Dead Rising 3 - for PC.

 

[maus]

I was really sad when I tried out the xbone controller and didn't find it to be nearly as solid or comfortable as the 360's. I should really buy a spare or two of the wired 360 pads before they go out of production.

edit: from what people here are saying maybe I just need to spend more time with it.

 

[klodeckel]

Was there one day in the last ... 4 weeks? ... Where there wasn't a good MS news per day? Keep that momentum!

(still hoping for a wireless adapter tho)

 

[PAULINK]

Can Halo 2 be played on a tablet? Halo 2 PC is only available on disc right?

Windows surface pro's have an OS and everything. could have hooked up an external dvd drive and installed the pc game.

 

[Bsigg12]

Does that mean I have to have Wifi on my PC?

No? It's micro USB only right now.

 

[Green Wiggly]

Awesome, will finally replace my worn out 360 controller.

.

 

[spacemonkeynation]

Meaningless without a new dongle. I don't use corded controllers on my comfy couch PC.

That said I might have to check this out with my roommate's pad.

 

[jem0208]

Sweeeeeet.

 

[Bessy67]

But as others have said, how do you even legally get Halo 2 proper running on a Surface? I doubt Larry would be showing a pirated/cracked copy.

 

[Van Owen]

Will stick to dualshock 4 until there is a wireless solution.

 

[MCD]

We need a wireless dongle now.

Spencer plz.

 

[Panda Rin]

I have a 360 controller right now. Is it really worth the upgrade?
