Every year it seems like more and more people are playing games in ways that their developers never intended. Just this year, streamerSuperLouis64 beatÂDark Souls 3again using a controller he created using bananas. Yesterday, Twitch streamerTheStevieP finally got a kill in theÂCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warmultiplayer using aÂGuitar HeroÂcontroller.https://gfycat.com/misguidedpoisedarcticseal-call-of-duty-cold-war-codWhile this feat may seem entirely crazy and unachievable to some, TheStevieP has been playing and streaming the game with aGuitar HeroÂcontroller since its release back in November.He breaks down his button layout in a stream of the popular “zombies” mode:“To actually walk is down on the strum bar, walking backward is up on the strum bar. To look around, red is to the left, yellow is to the right, blue is up, orange is down, and then green shoots. I don’t have a reload, I don’t have an ‘F’ button, I don’t have an ‘X’ button, and I definitely don’t have a grenade button.”
Lately, TheStevieP’s streams have been about trying to see how far he can get in certain game modes using the limited buttons on his controller, butÂCall of Dutyisn’t the only game under hisÂGuitar Herobelt. His Twitch channel is full of games he’s completed using the irregular controller including the originalÂCastlevania,ÂMegaman 2, and the originalÂSuper Mario Bros.
While 2-D games certainly have simpler controls than 3-D ones such asÂCall of Duty, they’re by no means easy and are definitely not made easier when changing the controller up.
When asked about hisÂGuitar HeroÂbackground, TheStevieP said, “I’ve actually FC’d every song on GHIII except One, Raining Blood and Through The Fire and Flames.”
