Microsoft to Redesign Xbox 360 Controller? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

I'm assuming it's that controller with the red trackball. I like it.

USE IT MS AND I'LL BUY THE X360 WITHOUT HESITATION!

Hmm. I don't know if I like it or hate it. The buttons are the PS2 buttons.

I've got no issues with the 360 controller. I think it's great as it is.

How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Eww, look at the spot they put the PS2's R3 button. Anyways, the thing looks dumb and doesn't look like it would offer enough over the standard controller to warrant dropping 40 bucks on it. They should just enable mouse and keyboard control.

Hey knowing MS you won't be able to enable the trackball functionality until you download the driver off of XBL for 100 points.

I will not buy that. I better get two more wireless X360 controllers before those are standard.

Took me a while to find the standard Xbox controllers compared to the S.

Re: Microsoft to Redesign Xbox 360 Controller?

I'm all for a new controller that I could use specifically for FPS games. I wouldn't be suprised, if it happened to launch with Halo 3.

Just make sure you add the new Immersion force feeback technology in it Microsoft.

Oh, and some of you need to read the article, because it seems like that controller in the link, is what you think it will look like.

Been wanting a controller with a trackball for years! I'd be all over it.
