So, why didn't you post this in the Halo PC forum, the Maw? Let's hope this gets moved.
The reason why you're not owning all the noobs playing with a keyboards with your not-so-"owz0r, 1337 H4X controller" is because the gamepad is a piece of crap compared to the mouse and keyboard when it comes to first-person shooters. Although Halo PC supports gamepads for use, it has no dead zone support and they removed the walking pace in the port--simply put, they optimized it for the mouse and keyboard over the controller. Thus, there is no auto-aim nor built-in calibration for gamepads unlike the Xbox version.
There are players who can play quite well with them, but they're vastly out-numbered by better players with mice and keyboards. I would recommend you drop that clumsy noob stick you call a controller and pick up a real input device meant for shooters; the mouse and keyboard. Once you start using it, the gamepad looks like an unwieldy stone-age tool.
