XIM

lol everyones entitled to their own opinion, I just stated we wouldn't want anyone playing with wallhacks/aimbots etc.

Ruffneck, it would be the same as the only thing you are changing is the input device, your not using any software to glitch and gain advantage?
 
Ignore the children OP, next up they will be saying using a wheel in Forza is unfair :D

Microsoft make steering wheels and don't try and stop other companies making them, where as they don't make a KB&M or license another company to do so for the 360. You cannot hook one up properly without having some sort of device such as the XIM to hack it in some way.

Your argument is void and pointless.

Truth hurts.
 
I'd say pad was an advantage over a wheel in Forza

to be honest, I don't think changing hardware/input device is gaining any sort of advantage compared to actual software glitches. It's just what each user is used to at the end of the day. people going from pad to mouse n keyboard would find it hard, as i find it hard going the opposite way.
 
Off course it is, have you ever played a game with wheel then gone to pad?

A wheel over a pad is an advantage, there's no doubt about it. However, wheels are licensed and a prepheral which other 3rd parties can make and allow to be licensed by Microsoft for use with the xbox.

A mouse and keyboard however, isn't. That's the difference.

One is allowed, one has never been allowed.
 
btw, this wasn't a post about cheating? I was just asking if anyone had used one before and if so, were there any problems or recommendations on which i should choose?
 
I think what people including myself are trying to say is If you use the keyboard/mouse combination on the xbox/PS3 you will have a considerable advantage over 99.9% of the user base.

yeah i get that from the replies ha! was just asking if anyone has any experience of the hardware.

No, but had you read any of the previous posts on this forum about XIM you will have found the same responses as before.

Regardless of whether you just want to beat your brothers in your home, most people see it as cheating.
 
Practice. My aim was shocking when I moved to console fps from years of PC gaming.

I agree with everyone else here - the unfair advantage it would give you would be, well, unfair. And surely that would take away the fun part for them and for you?

Forget XIM. Man up and get better :p

Ack i might just do it with a control pad, just thought using the same kepyboard and mouse for it would be simples as i wouldnt have to move when going from PC to Xbox for gaming :P
 
I assume the reason you want a XIM in the first place is because he beats you at the moment? And that hurts.

well for your smart arse comment, you would be assuming wrong. I haven't actually played it on Xbox yet, the only game played on the xbox by me is fifa.
 
Isn't is strange that most ppl see using a KB&M on an XBox to play FPS as 'cheating', mainly because Microsoft don't supply or allow them. Why don't Microsoft allow KB&M is a more interesting question. Is it because when they tried an experiment to merge XBox Live and PC servers they found the Gamepad users got their ass handed to them every time. Even the best XBox COD players were getting owned by average Joe's playing on the PC.

Microsoft's blurb about the XBox 360 controller makes me laugh so much.

Discover greater precision, comfort, and control. The Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows delivers a consistent and universal gaming experience across both of Microsoft's gaming systems. Experience the ultimate gaming experience on Windows XP and Xbox 360.

It get's it ass handed to it by the good old KB&M in FPS every time. It's not cheating, it's Microsft trying to hide and being unable to admit how bad their game pad is for FPS. So much so that FPS games on XBox have an aimbot built in, lmao.

You can't accomodate all the different types of game with one control device and expect it to be good, never mind excel. There is clearly a place for KB&M, wheel, flighstick, joystick and even the game pad on occasions, streetfighter for example. Microsoft should man up, admit the XB0x 360 controller aint doing it for FPS, allow KB&M on the XBox and watch all the lovely sales they get from FPS players.
 
You must be doing it wrong in that case, a wheel will give you much greater control in corners, and much better modulation of acceleration and braking.

maybe I'm doing it wrong then but with a pad you can go from lock to lock in a fraction of a second, something that takes a lot longer with a wheel.

definitely, with rally games at least, using a pad is an advantage
