used to game controller?

Hey all,

The 360 is my first console and I'm very clumsy with the controller (currently playing Halo 3). Just to ask, on average, how long would a person take to get used to the controller?

Thanks

Since its your 1st console, you'll get used to it quickly

Quickly? nah.. It's so difficult for me to aim properly in Halo 3, especially a moving target (Eg: Jet-Pack Brutes). Using the sniper rifle is worse, I have to stand still, and slowly inch the crosshair up to the target, but in the process, I get shot and lose the zoom. :(

It took me a few weeks. My first game was Oblivion which didn't require the reflexes that shooters do. My next game was Gears of War and it took me a month, maybe two, to get used to it. It took 2 months for me to get used to Call of Duty 4 controls. I stopped playing for 10 days and it took me another 3 days to get used to it again. The controller itself isn't the problem, it is often the button/stick layout. Try tinkering with it to find the layout that is easiest for you to use.

P.S. - By "get used to" I mean being able to win matches without a problem. It took me a day or two to learn the controls, but 2 months to master them so that I didn't die from slow reflexes.
