I was wondering if the game controller "Gravis gamepad pro" will work with Halo game??? Is there a way that I could have it work??

Thanks

I don't think they've added support for gamepads to Halo for Mac yet (someone correct me if I'm wrong, please - it's been a while since I last applied a patch to the game), so I'm afraid there isn't really much you can do about making it work right now. :/

You could use USB Overdrive if you need USB support in apps that don't support it.

Halo doesn't support gamepads, and seeing how it's (not) progressing, it probably never will.

I've had little to no luck using 3rd party gamepad enablers with FPS games.

I'd recommend just getting use to the mouse and keyboard interface. It's much superior than any gamepad.

And do you actually work for ESPN?

I recommend this which is superior to both mouse and gamepad for any 1st person shooters.
