Spare yourself the time and play mouse/keyboard. I have the 360 controller for PC and it does not work very well on halo. You don't have nearly as much aim control as you do on xbox. It just doesn't feel right, no matter what sensitivity. Keyboard/mouse is way better.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

AFAIK, there is no deadzone when you use a controller for Halo PC. Probably why people using them get absolutely creamed online.

Screw recon, I want my 42 steak dinners.

I tired it once. I didn't get creamed and didnt have any problems.

You can do it, but in a high stress situation, mouse/keyboard will always do much better. There's nothing to argue here.

I use controller. Works fine. Very easy to go from playing H3 on the 360 to playing H2 on the computer. The only problem I ever have is my connection speeds are always poor :(

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I have used a 360 controller before on HPC and I hold my own. :/

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Sorry Jazzy, looks like an OS problem. I can see it's only getting worse. Just wanted to add that the dead zone problem with 360 controller doesn't seem to affect everyone.

Also, on XP, Vista, and 7 the driver should install automatically when the controller is plugged in.

Hey guys, I would of made a thread for this however due to just now making a bungie account I have to do the whole waiting process thingy. I have notice a great deal of latency with the mouse and keyboard in halo 2 vs the controller, only problem is..... I hook up the controller and everything and go into the game, the left thumbstick works perfectly fine up is up, down is down, ect. The left thumstick on the other hand is screwed up. Left is up, Right is down, and all sorts of weirdness. I was wandering if anyone has seen this problem before and if so PLEASE PLEASE HELP! I have to play some halo you know and since I don't have a 360 anymore Halo 2 is what I got, so please help :).

Thank You
