Decyphering Your Kid" s Gaming Speak: A Universal Translator For Modded Console Products
Does your kid spend a lot of time in front of their XBOX 360? Does he talk about XBOX 360 modded controllers, exploiting, trickshotting, or use other words that you find confusing? You've come to the right place for assistance! Keep browsing for assistance in decyphering your kid's gaming speak.
For starters, the easiest term to learn is "modded controller". A "modded controller" is just a normal XBOX 360 gamepad that has been fitted with a "modchip". Companies perform this service for about $40. Once the gamepad has this "modchip" installed inside, the controller is able to do special moves automatically that are difficult to pull off manually with your hands. When looking around to purchase modded controllers, it's important to find a product with at least the following capabilities:
Rapid Fire - A mod with rapidfire can shoot very fast, without requiring that the user presses the triggers. The user can just press the trigger once, but get a lot of automatic firing out of guns that are otherwise "single shot" guns!
Dual Trigger - the mod is capable of working with both triggers on the modded XBOX 360 controller.
Jitter, Auto Burst - several names for the same feature. These are designed for Call of Duty and make certain guns like the M16 shoot much faster by exploiting a glitch in the game's software. This glitch can't be repeated with human hands, because humand hands can't move fast enough.
Drop Shot - The most famous Call of Duty mod feature of all time. In the standard button layout, the player must use his right thumb to aim with the joystick. But while he is aiming, he is unable to reach over and hold down the "B button" to make his character drop to the ground to take cover from enemy fire. When the mod's Drop Shot feature is enabled, and the player pulls the right trigger to fire at the enemy, the modchip will also automatically press the "B button" for the player. This simple trick will cause your enemy to be left firing into the air above your head, while you drop to the ground and take the kill shot.
Auto-Aim - Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black ops have a special "Zombie arcade mode". The goal is, of course, to kill all of the zombies. When the mod's auto-aim feature is enabled, just aim anywhere near the Zombie and pull the left trigger - the gun will lock on target. Helps especially when mowing down a whole group of Zombies.
Auto-Battles - In the Gears of War series of games, the combatant will sometimes enter into a Chainsaw battle with his opponent. The player who can push the "B button" fastest wins! The auto-chainsaw feature lets the modchip take control of the "B Button", ensuring victory.
Auto-Spot - In the Battlefield series of games, the combatant can "mark" an enemy on the team radar by aiming at the enemy and pressing the "back" button on the controller. When the mod's auto-mark feature is enabled, the player no longer has to press the back button. Enemies will now be automatically marked just by aiming at them.
Auto-Revive - In the Gears of War series of games, when a combatant is down, he can revive himself by rapidly pressing the "A button". When the auto-revive feature of the mod is activated, the modchip will take control of the "A button" and get the combatant revived and fighting the enemy
Auto-Sprint - In the Call of Duty games, pressing the left thumbstick will cause the combatant to sprint quickly to his next objective. Pressing the left thumbstick is akward, but combatants must sprint often to avoid being gunned down by the enemy. Pressing the left thumbstick can actually become painful after many hours of gameplay. With the auto-run feature of the mod is activated, the player only needs to pull on the left-trigger to initiate sprinting. Forget about that akward left thumbstick!
Mimic Mode - In the Call of Duty games, a combatant can wield pistols with both hands. But firing both pistols requires the player to pull both the left and right triggers. Moving both hands can reduce the player's ability to aim with the stick. When the mod's Akimbo Firing feature is turned on, the customer only needs to pull the right trigger to fire both the left and right pistols simultaneously. The Akimbo Firing can even be set up to turn your semi-auto pistols into full-auto machine gun pistols for a devastating affect at close range!
Burst Mode - Typically used in war games. In many games, it takes more than one bullet to down an enemy. Burst Firing is designed to turn most semi-auto guns into "burst firing" guns. When the mod's Burst Firing feature is enabled, pull the trigger as normal to fire, but now your semi-auto gun will shoot 2, 3, 4 or 5-round burst - depending on your preference.
That basically covers the most popular mods available on the popular rapid fire controllers available on the market today. Before we go, we'd like to thank the whole team over at XenoModz XBOX 360 Modded Controllers for helping us learn more about some of the different modded features that are available for the XBOX 360 gamepads out there.
