I hope it's a rail shooter with a directional movement pad like DDR.

we can all see how great the gameplay is going to be from two cutscene & blurry images, indeed

It looks good but once again, HOW will you move... it will only be good if it uses mouse/keyboard, and the chance of that... 0?

The xbox pad IS great for FPS games... But never in a million years better than a M/KB combo :dork:

indeed, but you're saying it can ONLY be good if it uses M/B. while on the other hand you preach that FPS's are perfectly playable with the right pad

see what you did there? :lub: :D

i have sir, you're misunderstanding me. they *look* like they turned off HUD and turned on notarget and let the ai run about while they line the FOV up for a nice shot :o

to illustrate:

this is an actual "in-game" moment in Halo. yet you'll never see this when you're playing it. and im not talking about the 3rd person perspective either

Yes, but once again, the chance of them using an xbox pad is also, "0".

So i dont see where we are going with this :p

We all know it will be 6 flat round buttons with a fancy "stick" on the other side.

....it's a digital camera shot of a demonstration video.

Also in that scene the combine Prison guards do ignore you because they run into this room to get away from the Antlion guard. As for the strider for all you know it's fireing on a team mate. The only difference between those shots and the pc version is that theres no hud and no weapon model drawn.

and that was my point :)
it was a shot of a demo video. neither DC or Juggs could judge if itll be a "coin-swallower" ;)
