aiming on the 360 :(

I can't do it I end up looking at the ceiling.

How long did it take you guys when you bought the box to get good at aiming with a controller.

I daren't go on to live on COD4 at the moment I'd get müllered

Couple of minutes

Lower the sensitivity if your having problems.

I'm actually better with a pad in FPS games now than a KB & mouse, due to not having played PC games for so long

Or invert the vertical axis.

I can't even do head shots in dead rising at the zombies....my COD4 is still shrink wrapped !

Practice, practice, practice!

If you use the pad enough you can become very accurate and quick. pew pew!

same. tried to play doom 3 the other day (i know its old!!) and was struggling.

Practice makes perfect. It becomes second nature pretty quickly, though some games are still better than others.

Remember you don't have to hold the thumb sticks all the way to the edge, there is a middle point.

The same goes with triggers on racing games.

From there you practice.

Maybe try playing geometry wars. All that uses is the sticks.
It was probably how i got used to the 360 so when i started on fps's i was away in a couple of mins

Once you get the general jist of it you will be fine. With COD4 I found the players on 360 of a lot lower quality to those on the pc. Makes you feel a lot better yourself though.

The games fault tbh. The controls really do take some time to get used to. Even a week after release I was accidentally taking photo's of zombies instead of shooting them

It took me about a week to adapt to the controller with CoD2 then I was fine.

I just picked up and was fine.

I am a winner though...

I've never really got used to it. Especially with multiple enemies. I tend to over correct and it takes me longer to line up a shot than most. Sometimes when I see peoples skill with long range weapons, like Gord and Alrik from Ocuk I have to tell myself they must be cheating

That's the games fault, they got the sticks movements wrong because you can't strafe so it makes it totally different (and annoying).

I just can't stop laughing over the "pew pew" comments!!

So thats why we always nick your kills when you're lining up the head shots.

It does take some getting used to - I find it almost more natural in a sense, but it's a lot stiffer and slower for me. I prefer mouse/kb for precision and speed, however. I guess it also depends on the game and what it has you aiming at

If you want to practice with the controller, open COD4 and there's a special FPS training section in there called "Mile High - Veteran". Should teach you everything you need to know.
