    I vote Fyre's mother for overlord. I mean, she's been around for a long while, we play with her all the time, and she's been a real sport about the beatings we've given her.

    I concur. And she's intimately familiar with every current member, but has no hesitation about getting to know new guys. She's a great leader too, I've seen her handle twelve different men at once before.

    Long story short. My 2nd headset broke, I borrowed my cousin's since he had two headsets and one Xbox. One of his headsets broke and wanted his 2nd back. It's a lot more complicated then that but thats it simple.

    yeah, that's its one saving grace, that it does tell some other story of things happening on Halo. Although the side-story with the comedy capers of an elite (who keeps getting foiled at the last minute in his attempts to catch the Chief) and his grunt (who just wants to find a corner to sleep!), reads more like a Roadrunner script. That was painful.

    Yeah, I also don't particularly like the combat and how it just drones out the actions. Master Chief shoots the grunts from right to left, or they take the warthog up to the right. It's annoying, and dull.

    I'd love to play a bit, but I must say that I suck at Halo 2. And I mean bad. The last few times I tried to play, I was more or less running in circles getting BRed/sworded/grenaded without a clue what was going on (since I know none of the 4000 maps the game has these days). So send me some invites, gents!

    (PS. I consider Halo: The Flood among the worst pieces of fiction ever written; I'd rather read a pornographic Harry Potter Fanfic than read The Flood again. Just thought I'd contribute ;) ).

    It's not the buttons so much, it's the sticks.

    Even when I have a 360 over here, I prefer to boot up the old Xbox for Halo 2 fun.

    And I only ever really need to press the black button for grenade switch, since I use Dpad Up to teamtalk.

    I much prefer the 360 controller to either of the original Xbox ones and I don't know if I'm actually better but I do know I'm fairly awesome at LANs and when I played online I was good..

    I'd venture a guess I'm a tiny bit better playing on the 360 compared to my original. :o

    Sticks on the Controller S are slightly taller, with a little more spring to them than the 360 controller. The things I can do in UC2 with the S vs. with the 360 controller are significant, because the S seems to be able to stop on a dime while the 360 controller does not(I don't know how to explain it any better than that).

    Halo 2, with the borderline excessive auto-aim.... ehh, you get used to it, its no big deal, and overall, you're stuck with the 360 controller from here on out, so... its no big deal.
