ROM Hack somebody make a D-pad hack for Call of Duty please

[YayMii]

3 Fingers?? my middle finger cant even reach the bottom of the ds.I think you're doing it wrong. When I said the bottom, I meant the back of it (i.e. where the "Nintendo DS" labelling is). It only works if you hold the DS almost parallel with the ground (as in, the screens pointing up).
Then again, if you have sasquatch hands, your pinky still might hang off a little.
QUOTE(superspudz2000 @ May 7 2011, 03:49 PM) but anyway, your argument is invalid for several reasons
#1. on a bumpy Car/bus/train ride the stylus will shake around slightly making it impossible to aim.
#2. playing a DS in public is embarrassing enough. whipping out a stylus in public just makes you look like a Real Goober. using Stylus ruins your Macho Manly image. which is the whole point of playing a "Killing War" game in the first place. to look cool.
#3. why not have the option to play it any way they want. (ahem Goldeneye!). its not going to ruin the game for anybody if theres more options.
#4. Playstation and Xbox usually dont have Mouse or Touchscreen, they use Controllers which is how most people play FPS. holding a PS2 controller with both hands.
#5. just like the Starfox & Zelda D-Pad thread there are always whiners and nay-sayers. it dosent mean its not a good idea. if somebody wants to play it a certain way let them have it.

1. I don't see how that could be a problem. I always play FPSes on the bus, with no issues with aiming. Maybe I just have steady hands.
2. Sorry, we can't help you with being a poser.
2b. You play games to entertain yourself, not to be some loser trying to show off your 'macho manly' games.
3. AFAIK, Goldeneye DS has the same controls as CoD. And if you're talking about Goldeneye 64, then the default controls were abysmal anyway. It's great how they thought of a dual-thumbstick control scheme using 2 controllers.
4. *insert generic "KB+M is better" argument here*
4b. *insert rant about poser 'hardcore gamers' here*
5. Those are different. Zelda was designed to be played with buttons, not gimmicky controls that don't fit the game (even though Nintendo did it right). Starfox originated on digital controls, which caused some fans to dislike the touchscreen exclusive controls (there are also a few aspects where they screwed up the controls, but I won't get into that).
For FPS games, this argument is null and void, as 99% of the DS's FPS games use this, and gamers don't complain. In fact, I think you're the only person I've seen complaining about generic DS FPS controls, ever.

tl;dr of this entire thread:

1. Stop bitching
2. Get over it
3. That's how everything's done
4. Nice try

OH MY GOD

You have the wrongest concept of "cool" I ever read.


Macho Manly lmao

Goldeneye rouge agent and metroid prime hunters both let
you use Buttons for controls. and it works beautifully.
i have never found anybody yet that could beat me in goldeneye: RA.
in battles between Dpad Vs touchscreen, the person using Dpad wins every time.
it just gives you quicker response time, at the cost of accuracy but still.


i think i see whats going on here, the posters are Keyboard and Mouse FPS gamers.
which i have never been a fan of. even in 1990 when i had an old 386 dos PC,
i had to order the first Gravis gamepad just to play doom.
the truth is COD games are synonymous with PS2 even more than PC,
but PS2 couldn't get online very easy. so some people choose PC.
but for me if i had the choice of spending hours installing drivers and
video card firmware and directX software Etc. or just popping in a
PS2 Disc id choose the PS2.



EDIT:
i just tried that new 2010 "Goldeneye 007" and it has optional Button controls as well.
i Dare any touchscreen user to beat me on Wifi multiplayer. ill try to get a copy and get it set up by this saturday.

Yeah, because people totally still play CoD on the PS2.

Have you been living under a rock for the past five years?

i think i see whats going on here, the posters are Keyboard and Mouse FPS gamers.I have a PS3, a 360, and a Wii. I have CoD on all 3 systems, and I have a fair share of console-exclusive FPSes on each.
I don't have a gaming PC, and I don't normally game on the PC. But whenever I do, I notice I perform better with KB/M.
It also annoys me that you can't turn very fast using dual thumbsticks, because on my current KB/M setting, I can turn 1440 degrees (or 360 4 times) from moving my mouse from the left side to the right, and I'm able to turn instantly, while still having great accuracy (in fact, on console max sensitivity, I have barely any accuracy AND I don't turn as fast as I'd want to)

the truth is COD games are synonymous with PS2 even more than PCWhere have you been in the past 4 years?
And when has Call of Duty ever been popular on the PS2?
The popularity really began with COD4, because of its online gameplay. COD4 never even came to the PS2, ever, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

No, people would choose PS3 or Xbox 360.

I doubt anybody would want to play a cocky poser who thinks FPSes are made to create "macho manly" images of people.
Besides, even if you are right (about winning), it's most likely because nobody (but you) plays DS FPS games 24/7.

Lying on a couch in front of a Bigscreen TV
is better than hunched at a Desk in front of PC.

as holding a Portable vertically with two hands
is better than balancing it in one hand while holding
it perfectly horizontal and using a "Pencil" to aim.


COMFORT is the only thing that matters. forget accuracy
forget quickness forget image. Two hands are better than one. period.

that being said im going to trade in my DS for a 3DS and hope the
next COD uses the Analog stick. then again it will probably use a
friggin Gyro sensor for control.

At this point I think you need to get a PSP or something, the whole consensus behind owning a friggin DS is USING THE DAMN STYLUS!
Any game that doesn't make you pull out the stylus(however good the good and the game would be good on the DS) is TECHNICALLY not using the system to the max. Would you buy Mass Effect 3 if it only came in 480p????? I think not dipstick.

Not to be rude, but demanding someone to make a hack for you will likely get responses such as "do it yourself" or just "No." You should ask, I've seen many occasions where people were yelled at for that.

Totally what I wanted to say.

Even though the bolded is true, you're still using 2 hands if you're using a stylus. DERP

1. Why/how would it use gyro?
2. Why would you get another console that is most likely to use a control scheme you don't like?
3. Just get a fuckin' NGP if you're so bothered by the controls. >.
