Vengeance allow using a gamepad? Thanks in advance.

DEBig is trying to tell you in his charming manner that a gamepad really
will not give you the amount of control you can achieve with a mouse and
keyboard in this game. I have no clue if it would support it though as I
have never looked and it really does not come up. No one uses them, really.

That is pure speculation. Anyway, why should I or anyone else care
whether others use a gamepad.

I could care less, I am just telling you a gamepad will not give you the
degree of mobility you need to play this game successfully. You can
certainly choose to ignore that fact, which you obviously plan on doing. I
was offering some helpful advice. It certainly won't happen again.

Why do you keep quoting the persons headers under your own reply?

For what reason? I know Xnews is rather clumsy in its layout, but are you
that big an idiot that you can't follow threads using it?

Does HALO allow you to slide or jump off of a pad and land way down on
the ground somewhere? Not sure I can give up that sort of experience

With a decent gamepad, you can assign keystrokes to each button and/or
direction, so it should work with any game that supports keyboard control.
