Smashing Pumpkin Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have an Xbox 360 that I mostly game on and only ever really play Worms 2 on my PC, but recently I've noticed a guy on our local market games stall has Half-Life 1 for the PC second hand for ?3, I used to have it ages ago and liked it but got stuck (I was only young). If I were to buy this would it work with an Xbox 360 controller plugged into my PC via USB, would I be able to configure which buttons and thumbsticks did what etc? Also my monitor is at 1280 x 1024, will half-life 1 work t this resolution, what will I need to put the settings of the game at to achieve the best display? Thank You very Much for any help in Advance Richard xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchmalibu Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Playing HL1 on pc with a joypad is a really baaaad idea. The game was designed to be played with a mouse and keyboard. You'll have a hell of a time if you try to play it with the 360 controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Laughing Man Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I remember playing HL1 on the dreamcast with the controller, bad idea. So I used its keyboard and mouse instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nylock10 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Yes, you can use the controller with Half-Life 1. In fact, you can use it with any game. But: PC games are designed around a keyboard and mouse, in some games playing with a controller could be difficult (especially in multiplayer). You might want to borrow a controller first and see if you do like it, to use the controller with any game use XPadder (www.xpadder.com). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I know the 360 controller actually works beautifully with Half-Life 2. Not as good as keyboard and mouse, but it's good. As for Half-Life 1, not sure... the Source version should, I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamsINdigital Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 You can use Pinnacle Game Profiler. This program lets you map the keyboard keys to buttons on a joypad, so you can play any game with a joypad, regardless of support. http://www.pinnaclegameprofiler.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
