What beta? Was there a demo? Or are you talking about some kind of leaked version?

I'm gonna get Halo PC just to make my buddy with an X-Box jealous of my platform's superiority. That and to finally KICK HIS ASS LIKE IT'S NEVER BEEN KICKED (now that I have a mouse.) He will of course be using his favorite X-Box controller with an adapter for PC use.

It's harder with a joypad ........ using a mouse and keyboard is just easier, not better. It is possible to be very skilled with a joypad.
Having played the first few levels of Halo pc it seems obvious that the single player game isn't as good as it is on the XBox - and this is due to the control method.
For single player games, having analogue movement, rumble and trigger buttons adds to the immersion greatly. Seeing as immersion is what single player games are all about, this is obviously important - and results in a more enjoyable experience.
Multiplayer is a completely different story - and this is where mouse and keyboard rule ....... and why multiplayer pc Halo will be very cool.
(it's quite amusing watching my 'pc only' mates trying to use a joypad. They run about looking at the ceiling and shooting everything but the desired target. Of course they dismiss this as 'joypads being shite' ..... but they know, just as much as I do, that it's just lack of practice, dexterity and generally being crap with pads)
