I ask this to both the people who keep saying it can and also to people who actually play Halo.

I don't care if it will happen (I know it won't for obvious reasons.) Of Course graphic and AI are not in question here. Just the controlls.

So could it?
If yes then how?
If not then why?

just the controls? absolutely...and they would be a step up imho...closer to mouse and keyboard. of course im assuming the nunchuck is also involved. but yeah.

ir camera for targeting. implement the heros 2 system so that the player can configure sensativity. b trigger for shooting. c for jumping. z to duck. a to lob a gernade. move nunchuck up and down to reload (or use the + button on the wiimote). down button to turn on the flash light. - button to switch gernade type. analogue stick on the nunchuck to move around of course. i think that covers all the controls in halo. theres room for creativity there also but those would be a good basic setup imho.

and before anyone says "nunchuck doesent count" do remember that a nunchuck is standard issue. every wii owener has at least 1 nunchuck.

I played Halo 3 at a VG store and I kept thinking "man that game would be way better with the wiimote". I don't like analog sticks to aim.

Of course it could. With Bungie in control I'd imagine it would work well (the controls)

Anyone who says the control scheme wouldn't work well is just pissed that Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and Metroid Prime 3 have better, more responsive control schemes than Halo 3, or any console FPS for that matter.

It may not be as fast as a PC mouse or a Wiimote, but you can get used to them.

yes it would work better on the wii mote. if it was on wii the graphics would not be as good. as for AI on 360 its pretty bad. they did not put much work on it . the ai could run on wii.

Wait, are we talking about halo or halo3? And I'm pretty sure the wiimote can't handle any graphics being a controler and not a system.

Lastly, halo is a FPS, so not only would the controls work with the wiimote, they would be superior.

The only people who'd say it won't work are usually the Dual Analog stick purists, so yes, it can work, and in fact, can actually enhance the experience.

i dont think so. it would be tricky if the devs tried to implement a control sceme like excite trucks, but by using the standard controls, turning the car by pointing at different parts of the screen and using the analogue stick for camera control...it could be quite easy. or u could use the nunchuck sensor for camera control and leave the analogue stick for throttle. thats basically how halo controls its vehicles anyway with a standard controller.

of i u want to be inventive, u could dictate speed by pointing further away from the vehicle to speed up and closer to slow down. that could be clumsy though.

Yes, it's actually rather simple of a control scheme that halo has. Problem is, halo ain't coming to wii.

better than call of duty 4, halo 3, gears of war, half life 2?, no, and making halo on the wii will raise expectations and possibly make or break the console whether if its good or bad

well it aint happening its a theory tho

Better in terms of what? I find it equal to those in terms of controls. You played farcry, red steel, and vanguard, 3 really poor games. How about you go to play some more recent works for wii.

Metroid Prime 3 is very much on par with Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 in my opinion. Half-Life 2 and Gears are better though. However, the controls arent. Medal of Honour: Heroes 2 and Metroid Prime 3 are in my, and the opinion of a lot of people including loads of websites and magazines, better than dual analog.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Well, not Half-Life 2, but I can imagine MoHH2 being as good as COD4, Halo 3, and Gears of War.

Because Wii owners want some variety. That's why they bought a Wii in the first place: to play games that are different. If there's any genre that promotes homogeneity, it's the shooter genre. I'd be content with two or three good shooters a year, not the dozen or more that come to the 360/PS3.
