Why would anyone want to play halo anyways.Iris_Implants
Are you seriously asking this? Apparently you haven't seen any of the billions of articles written in magazines and on gaming sites or the talk on G4 about the "keyboard and mouse vs. controller" debate. But since you haven't for whatever reason, I'll let you know that all of them that I have read or talk I've seen personally say that the keyboard and mouse wins and I also back up that statement. If you think you're going to kick ass in Halo Online with a controller sniping, cool but Halo sucks and so does it's sniping part of the game.
What other game is so **** that everyone bunny hops while sniping other than in that game? ....Correct! None! Also, people playing Halo Online against you with a keyboard and mouse just aren't good enough at the game yet. Let them have about 10 hours of game time and they WILL kick your ass if their IQ is above 80. Any more questions?
Ok, well imho, I think with Halo 2 its would be quite even, because Halo relies alot on movment, jumping & meleeing which are all easier done on a controller... But KB & M is faster & more accuret, Hard to say for sure...OMGFINEyou can move just as fast with a keyboard and mouse if you know what your doing.

Someone whos played Halo for a week on a controller should be able to move aswell as someone who played a similar game for a month on the KB & M, it's just easier to learn.

Lemme say right off the reason I don't play console games (in general, I'm playing FFXII right now) is because of the lack of mouse/keyboard support.
For me it all dates back about 10 years ago.  My friends all got really into playing 4 person PvP split screen Bond. Of course I was right in the middle of a pretty good Counterstrike kick and I was watching them play thinking "They're terrible. I'm absolutley going to destroy them." Of course that didn't happen when I realized how hard it was to aim and move with a gamepad (even taking my inexperience with a gamepad into account). Though my prior knowledge of that sort of gameplay certainly helped me out some, in the end I wasn't even one of the better players. I just sat there and didn't say anything about it.  Though of course I was irritated...thinking "If I could only plug in a mouse and keyboard I'd be dominating them so badly they wouldn't even want me to play anyomre."
I was pretty happy when I read that Microsoft was going to allow PC/XBOX cross-play online. There's SO many console-ers out there that have no idea how completely inferior a gamepad is for a 1st person shooter that I was delighted thinking about how obvious it would be in 6 months time (after implementation of said service) how every time a console fanboy got schooled he'd see it was by someone on a PC. Literally, I don't even think it would take 3 months before console players would start complaining that it wasn't fair and ask for segregation again. That would just underscore how important the mouse/keyboard is as a control interface and maybe we'd actually see some game support for it in the future on consoles. Apparently Microsoft already saw this scenario coming b/c I read they won't be allowing PC/XBOX(360) PvP online intermingling on many of their biggest games that are shooters. Obviously on a sports titleor a racing game you'll see no difference...maybe even a console advantage if the PC player doesn't have a PC gamepad.
Ok, well imho, I think with Halo 2 its would be quite even, because Halo relies alot on movment, jumping & meleeing which are all easier done on a controller... But KB & M is faster & more accuret, Hard to say for sure...OMGFINEVery, very false. Jumping in the air, aiming at the person, and meleeing all at once is FAR harder on a controller as opposed to m/kb.
