Any 360 owners used a XFPS Sniper v3.0 plus?

Why would you want to play GTA4 with a keyboard and mouse? It is designed for a gamepad use. I could understand if we were talking about an FPS, but its just not needed for GTA.

GTA is better on a gamepad, especially considering the amount of time you are driving around.

TBH id prefer to use a kbm on cod4 360 but theres no point as you have a big adavantage over gamepad users. Mice are much more accurate to use compared to gamepads. Its like cheating in a way.

But if everyone could just plug their keyboards in then id use it, stuff like this takes the fun out of console gaming

I agree with redporshe surely playing an fps with this you would have a massive advantage. Is this allowed on live?

I doubt they'd be able to detect it.

With a GTA4 release on the PC looking unlikely, I'm toying with the idea of getting a 360.

Gamepad play is out for me, has to be keyboard and mouse.

The latest XFPS "Sniper v3.0 plus" adaptor looks good:

Seems far better than the early iterations, however I can't find one key bit of info and wondered if anyone had used one and might be able to help?

I know you can remap the keyboard, but can you invert the mouse if desired?

Ta.

Isnt GTA4 out in time for xmas for the pc?

No. You get banned if caught.

How exactly would they catch you? Surely all it does is tricks the 360 into thinking that the keys are in fact the analogue sticks etc.

Ahhh ok, so do all online games have a sort of punkbuster esque feature that detect stuff like this? Or does xbox live! do all the detecting?

Microsoft do not ban anyone who uses these devices to my knowledge, unless Kreeee has a link to prove this? The way he describes would be the easiest way to detect it in, but that is not to say anyone is actively doing this at present.

What's full tilt?

pushing the analogue stick to the edge. Im pretty sure Kreeeee is just joking, never heard anything like this before.

So there are people on XBL in CoD4 using this crap? Grrrrr!!!!

From everything I've read (and I've done a fair bit of research into it), Kreeeee is wrong and you're not going to get banned from live for using one.

Anywayyyyy, I have no interest in pwning n00bs online (I have a PC for that!).

I'll take it from the lack of OT responses that no-one has any experience with this version and back quietly out of the thread, leaving it to your righteous anger.

....see you on a COD4 server soon

Just kidding!

I would love to test 1 out lol

But not at £50+
