When i use a 360 controller to play, while moving in a straight line sometimes my guy will just move left/right-

its almost if there is no diagonal/ strafing movement allowed w/o uncontrollable movements which hinder gameplay...

does anyone have the same issue/know how to fix this problem?

Yeah, I had the same issue.

Halo CE uses digital controls, so movement is either on or off, in one of the eight directions at a time.

The Xbox joystick is obviously analogue, so you can blend between directions and control speed.

CE doesn't have this, so therefore the joystick will send you in a different direction if you even slightly move it.

You're going to have to either put up with it or use keyboard and mouse.

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.

I have a kinda-solution. Use a program like Xpadder, joy2key etc to map the left analog to the WASD keys, and make the deadzone somewhere between 50-75% (how far you must push the stick before it reacts). Then assign all your controls in Halo PC except the movement keys.
