ZOMG!!!1! JUSTINTIME HAS NEVER PLAYED HALO: CE!!1!!

[ZoomZoom71]

I just installed Halo for PC on my, umm, PC. I tried playing a match with the keyboard and mouse, but it just ain't gonna happen. I'm glad I still have the USB dongle for connecting my Duke. I'll have to go dig it out.

[Justintiime]

I have this:

Microsoft Xbox 360™ Wireless Controller for Windows®

I hope I can get it to work with Halo ce. I know I can, just have to research it when I get the game.

[ZoomZoom71]

I wonder if I can connect my wireless controller to the PC with the play-n-charge kit. I'll have to check into that.

[D_Litch]

You can't. The play-n-charge kit does nothing but provide power, no information is transferred through the cable itself.

[lovekeiiy]

you don't need to buy a new controller. Just get the Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver for windows. It cost $20. It lets you use your current wireless 360 controllers.



I got two of them when they were released. They work well. When you go to sinc to the PC, you'll probably turn on your 360 because of the radio range of the wireless controller.

[ZoomZoom71]

Cool, Botmann! I didn't know that existed.

[Justintiime]

yeah apparently the wireless controller wont work with halo ce, but I do have a wired controller that will work great.

What about a mic?

There's only typed chat in-game. We'd have to get on the phone or use web-based voice chat to verbally communicate.

No more talking about multiplayer! Let him get into campaign. Then into MP. :P

[Justintiime]

I just got confirmation today that it was shipped...I don't even have it yet

[Epyon MX]

Didn't you say you had Halo 1 on Xbox? Get to it soldier!

[Justintiime]

I'm patient

Is there a gauss in halo 1? I hear no, but I've seen gauss footage on youtube with some levels I don't seem to remember from Halo 2. It was PC footage if that makes a difference.

[ZoomZoom71]

Gauss was new to Halo2. Actually, the alternative Warthog in HaloPC was a turret-mounted rocket launcher. I never got many skills using it, especially when shooting at moving targets. HaloPC also introduced the flamethrower and the fuel rod gun.

[Justintiime]

Zoom, we are going to have some fun! I hope to get this game maybe tomorrow or saturday.

[ZoomZoom71]

If we don't connect tomorrow night, then perhaps on Sunday afternoon. We'll see. I have a buyer coming in town from CA, and I'll be with her throughout the weekend, showing houses. If we find "the one" during our showings tomorrow, then I should be free for Sunday. (I'd say I would connect on Saturday, but that's my birthday, and I can't have any "me" time on my birthday." haha!)

[Justintiime]

drop me a PM if you think you can play. I check PGL often

[ZoomZoom71]

Will do.
