Very well stated. Halo isn't for everyone, but I notice a huge bandwagon PC vs Xbox/Halo sucks vs x game vibe on the net these days. Half Life 2 was great too on PC, but I gotta say for the PC vs Xbox people, Halo is not as good on PC, and that gamepad is certainly better for it, imo. Gamepad sucks on OTHER FPS though, I couldn't do UT with a gamepad. But Halo? Yes. I don't gotta reach over to the F button to melee, etc. Can we all agree Gears of War was awesome at least? =)
