Blackveldt was only good because lochang carried her

That's not true what-so-ever. Blackveldt is an extremely good player and oftentimes was the one that made the winning effort in our games. Our playstyles meshed well. She's also very picky about who she plays with.

The only thing she has trouble with is 2 spies aggroing her, 2 GOOD spies that know how to do it.

But that's okay, I suck at that too. I usually just start spinning and shooting.

That is so true, she definitely hates my playstyle >< (EAX Whoring)

Funny thing is when she either rages at her opponents or says "SLEEP BITCH!"

[LoChang]

I just don't care enough about CT anymore to play, and when I get talked into playing with her by her, I don't care about people EAX whoring, just play, have fun.

If I haven't played more than twice in the last year does anyone really think I care if I win?

[LoChang]

She's actually more fun to talk to while playing, instead of the gameplay. If we lived closer I bet we'd be geeky buddies.

If you would be geeky buddies, I would be a dead corpse in her front yard from all the raging about how lame that I use eax XD

[CHOKE ARTlST]

There was a quick turn around on the console. I think it involved tapping the move stick twice. People use to do it all the time. That being said..

I play alot of PC games and normally don't mind the mouse/keyboard. It would just take some getting used to and since I still play Xbox stuff (especially shooters) I would rather stick to that style.

Any help with getting the Xbox controller to work for CT on the PC would be much appreciated.

BTW, I really didn't mean to spark such a heated debate, but I imagine that happens more often than not with this group.

lmao

It happens.  It never NOT happens actually hahaha

Wow agent, I never knew you were into men oO

Here's something for controls that I'll just haphazardly throw out here.

HOLD FOR SLOWDOWN

In CT on the PC you have a speed button. Usually the Middle Mouse Button by default. You're crawling at breakneck speeds, then you press the button, now you're crawling at a snails pace. It's fine, it's good, it's none too hard to figure out. When you want to go back to speeding down a corridor at full speed you simply press the button again. It's simple and works. It's not some variable speed like on older Splinter Cells. To which going one notch above a mine's detectable threshold was entirely possible (at least in single player).

What I would personally prefer though (in PS) is if you were able to have the option to turn THAT situation into THIS situation:

You hold down the "Speed Button", you go slow. You release the "Speed Button", you return to normal speed.

No need for the 2nd click anymore. I find it bothersome and useless and I would like to see it go away. Though still there for those that can't handle how much skill it takes to be this theoretically fast paced.

If you're going slow then there isn't a likely chance you're using your gun. Plus you are already slowed down by simply pulling out your gun. Thus you wont be juggling like 15 mouse buttons (example: "HOW THE F**K AM I SUPPOSED TO HOLD DOWN THE MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON WHILE SIMULTAINOUSLY PRESSING THE LEFT BUTTON TO FIRE, AND THE RIGHT TO SHOOT MY GRENADES!!! *Rage*").

If you're trying to escape then you wont have to worry about miss-clicking a button and going ultra slow for that needed micro-second escape, since at all times that the speed button isn't pressed you'll be going as fast as you can in your given stance (Crouched or Standing).

-------------------------------------------------------------

Also it sounds like it would be VERY easy to put in. 90% of games have the option to Toggle the crouch button (when applicable). This is essentially the same thing (in reverse). I've never heard a developer going, "Yeah, we would have added in another level that fleshed out the whole story... but instead we opted to add the ability to toggle the crouch button."

-------------------------------------------------------------

Agent assured me this isn't possible in CT, which I believe is true, but I still found this FAR too appealing to not bring up here.

ALSO, if this is possible somehow for CT through some complex series of deleting my System32 folder, altering .ini files, and tying one hand behind my back then I'll totally do it. Just tell me how.

[VaNilla]

Of course it's possible in CT, just get a keybinding program and set it so for example when you press and hold ctrl, you execute 'mousewheel down', and when you let go, 'mousewheel up'.

[Spark Mandriller]

Just use the mousewheel like everyone else does.

I like it!

I like it even more!

[Spark Mandriller]

Yeah, you need to use the wheel in single player since Sam has like four speeds. I guess you didn't ever try it on the PC, but I'm thinking most of the people who did woulda kept using the wheel for movement in versus. People who use a speed button are gonna be rare as hell.
I dunno who'd want a hold button for sneaking, though, anyway, 'cause that sounds like it'd get annoying very fast. Imagine trying to be sneaky for like half a minute, you'd need to keep holding down the button the whole time. Shit'd suck.

[Cronky]

I said I'd personally prefer the button to be "press down/release"-able. I don't expect EVERYONE to like it.

It's not like you're constantly moving while being "Sneaky" through a level. Though maybe you are. I don't know.

I've barely played Versus on the PC. I'm one of them controller advocates, so you can tell where my loyalty once was. The few times I have though I'd wish I would be able to do just this. My finger is already on the mouse while playing, and the middle mouse button is one of the easier buttons to press/hold down without exerting TOO much effort. Perhaps I'm just a masochist.

Plus it's only when you want to go in to ULTRA slow mode... I dunno, I like it.

[Spark Mandriller]

You should play more. You can play with Agent.

Don't you want to play with Agent?

[Cronky]

I do eventually plan on learning the game once again. Once I find a way to bind the middle mouse button in a way that emulates this idea.

(As of right now it's kinda tough. My Razer mouse died on me, so I have to find myself an outside program that does that. Hell, I probably already have on and just don't know it)

EDIT:

Actually... figured out after taking a closer look at Pinnacle Game Profiler that I could get the Spy to Run/Walk by pushing the stick further. Going to take a bit of testing to get it reliable though. Plus making a profile for Spy that actually gives full access to everything easily.

EDIT #2:

I've spent the better part of the night (and technically the morning) and ALMOST have a Profile for Pinnacle Game Profiler that emulates Xbox Controls for Spy to a 360 controller.

I say almost because I'm having a hell of a time getting the "Run/Walk without pressing a button" working reliably. Though I'm starting to believe it's because of the limitation of program (It CAN'T be me ;)). Everything else though is fine as wine.
