I'm considering purchasing one of these controllers. They appear to be the only controller "on the market" that do what I think I want. To help make my decision, I need another couple questions answered before I buy.
To start, I'm looking at a 360 controller, whichever one's cheapest, I don't care the color.
What I'm trying to accomplish primarily is to max out Reach commendations. There are other things too, but right now, this is the goal.
Setting up certain checkpoints is "my half" of the work, while button presses and resetting to last checkpoint I want to be the controller's half.
If you're not familiar with the game, basically you get points for performing certain tasks, like killing a certain type of enemy, getting headshots, etc.
Anyway, the common method for getting these done (at least in the campaign) is to get to point in a mission where you know a checkpoint is, while primed to do an action. Example: I know there's a check point in front of me, so I have my gun sighted up on a distant enemy's head. When I cross the check point, the game saves and I pull the trigger (RIGHT TRIGGER) . I get credit for the head shot, then hit START (to pause) A (to select "revert to last checkpoint) DOWN on the D-pad (UP also works, either highlights the "Yes, I'm sure" option) then A again (to select). The tricks here are the use of the start button, not commonly used on special controllers, and the timing in waiting for the game to revert. The controller can't just input commands as fast as possible, it has to wait a bit.
So can the controller help here? Can it be set up this way? I may be able to explain better if what I've said already isn't clear enough.
EDIT: Also, I'd like the controller to this while I'm AFK. I want to be able to press a button and walk away. When I come back later, I want to see my 20,000 headshots scored.
