Will we be able to use a wired Xbox 360 controller with GoC??
I prefer them to pc controls but not sure how hard it is to do

Im almost positive it will be a feature. Every recent halo game has forced a controller on players, and switching to pc controls would be a pain for a lot of people.

But if it was keyboard only it'd be able to feature a lot more commands/features

Most likely. Even if they don't for some reason, Google or this can still help you. And for the amount of buttons problem, there are ways around that. The D-Pad could open a menu with more options or something. The D-Pad has a history of being very underused in Halo games, so that's a few extra buttons there.

I feel like using the D-pad would be clunky and/or slow though.

Maybe. They could get it working one way or another though.

You seriously are asking this? I am disappointed.

You can easily get like 15 more commands for the condtroller. All you need is for the d-pad to open a menu.
Like:
left + a = MEDIC!
left + x = NEED AMMO!
left + b = HELP!
etc
And then you also have right, up and down so you can have tons of commands and stuff!

(and it wouldn't be that comblicated, you would get used to it and learn to use it really fast)

Why stop there? Battlefield 3 xbox controls have tapping the back button set to make callouts to whatever the player is looking at. (pressing and holding the back button gives the scoreboard) This would leave the d-pad completely open.

this can all be fitted in 1 button, down on the d-pad makes the pop-up of a commo-rose like bf3 (or the circle from halo wars) and select almost everything you can.

SlashedTortoise
RB + Left D-Pad = vehicles radio on/off
RB + Up D-Pad = Vehicle Horn
RB + Right D-Pad = .....
RB + Down D-Pad = .....
LB + Left D-Pad = .....
LB + Up D-Pad = .....
etc
etc
etc

its very possible to do it all, just little side things will have to be combo buttons
