Rapid fire controllers

[GAMEMASTERCHAN]

Just wondering how a rapid fire controller works and the advantages that come from using one????

they just repeat the same button pushed so u dotn have to. Example - spam A to fill bar. turn on auto fire and controller will do the work

I used a rapid fire controller for Star Ocean 3's item creation thing. But other than that I never really used one. After playing the shit out of FF8 and the goddamn summon boost, you learn to be able to mash the shit outta one button pretty quickly for X amount of seconds and they become nearly obsolete. Not saying I can mash the button as fast as a rapid fire controller can, but more often than not the only reason you'll actually want to use one is for overnight runs where you just leave one of the buttons on that does whatever action and wake up in the morn and turn it off.

Ya but how do these effect FPS games such as cod4 and halo3? Which is what I see them advertised for.

[Wing Zero]

if you knew what he meant then dont be penis and fualt him for using a wrong term

 

[concrete_sox]

OK OK i understand completely

 

[GAMEMASTERCHAN]

Rapid fire controllers, Turbo controllers, whats it really matter. But can they give a player an advantage in a game such as halo or call of duty

 

[concrete_sox]

noo because u hold the fire button down in shooting games like that

 

[GAMEMASTERCHAN]

Not always the case such weapons as the carbine from halo only once every time you hit the button, the faster you hit it the faster it fires.

 

[concrete_sox]

then it would be useful?

I don't think it'd be useful at all, for example in Grand Theft Auto IV, if you hold down to fire all the rounds of a certain gun.. say an SMG or Carbine Rifle, the aim gets wider, making shots scatter. I'm not sure how it works with those games, but what I can think of, it would just waste bullets.

i never seen any mentions of particular genre of any packaging. i just see them stating they have turbo/auto-fire

 

[Metal Gear Flash]

i could of really used one of those for the ending of MGS4

There are guns in CoD4 that fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. With a modded controller you can use guns that normally have a rate of fire dependent on how fast you pull the trigger and make it an automatic weapon. The weapons that work for this are the G3, M14, M21 and the Barrett 50 cal.

They worked alright for the plasma guns in halo 1 or whatever the hell those guns were called. Where if you hold them they charge up and shoot a larger ball

I never got why in campaign the G3 fires in burst, while for multiplayer they made if fire one bullet at a time.
