Re: Aiming at a moving target with a controller... Any tips to improve?

For console, I'd suggest getting the best controller you can afford, such as Elite Series 2. Then use the software setting tweaks (non-linear joystick accelerations, hair trigger pull, etc that is available via Xbox controller settings with elite controllers), and switch to paddles as taking the fingers off the thumb sticks is going to decrease both aim accuracy and speed when you are jumping and sliding and moving while shooting, etc. Paddles are under-rated yet I understand it is painful and takes a few weeks to get use to paddles, but totally worth it...

Can recommend the Elite Series 2 as the paddles are super helpful - I've not touched a regular controller since changing to the Elite Series 1 a few years ago (I use a 2 now). The trigger locks used in conjunction with changing the trigger sensitivity is worthwhile too, as you can pretty much just tap the trigger to fire. The main drawback is cost really.

That's appalling - those features are freeware on PC, and Microsoft are charging console players for it.

Yeah for the controller itself. It was worth the money for me though.
