I lately bought 2 xbox 360 controllers for my 360 in order to play with four people on the same xbox 360, the other 2 were wirelles.

When I found out you could also connect them to a PC I was ZOMG I NEED TO PLAY HALO PC AGAIN!!!
I configured it because at first I wanted to play the campaign, and for me it was like WWAAY better than a mouse and keyboard.. It really worked great on that game, so I was like VERY ZOMG!!!

..Until I tried multyplayer..Setting are the same but there is one difference somehow..
The left stick wich I configured to walk with didn't do properly what it did when I played campaign. Example: When I wanted to strafe left A LITTLE BIT.. It strafed on 100% to the left.. Halo didn't saw it as an axis anymore but somekind of button..
The big problem in this matter is that when I want to move forward I pull the left stick forward, but also a little bit to the left or the right wich meant my charachter strafed DIAGONAL, while I just wanted to walk forward..

This only happens to me in Multyplayer. When I switch back to single player it is back as it should be.

Anyone having the same problems as discribed above?..
Got a solution? :)

..If it really is a bug and I'm one of the less who knows it..BUNGIE PLZZ LOOK INTO IT.. PLZZ? :')

When playing Halo on the PC...

Mouse & Keyboard > Single-Click Mac Mouse > DDR Pad > Live Rat > Dead Rat > Controller

First off, don't double post. There's an edit button right there at the bottom right corner of your post. Second, even if it has nothing to do with this, go read the stickies.

Dude, why would you want to use a controller? A mouse and keyboard is clearly superior. "It works good in campaign," what the hell!?

It's not a "bug" or a "glitch", and face it, dude, Bungie nor Gearbox is not going to work on it. Halo PC was not meant to be played with a controller, even though it supports gamepads. Everybody knows about this. It was made with a keyboard so there is no movement sensitivity feature. Use common sense.

Also, I think you might find that the people responding to your thread at Gearbox forums will treat you alot less nicer than I will here. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

l0lz getting 0wned here.

Dude.. when they support controller they need to SUPPORT it good.. if halo PC wasn't build for controllers, then why would even have that option??

I got passed level 1,2 & 3 on legendary so I think a controller is better than a dead rat, but I don't know for sure cause they DON'T SUPPORT these..

And happely for you they are nicer on gearbox =D

The gamepad is supported well. Since HPC was made for keyboards, the company won't build in extra features for a specific. Also, not all gamepads have analogs, you forget that.

Oh yah, I highly doubt you beat anything on legendary with a controller, or that the GB guys are nice. Film a vid and post a link to that thread.

It's very possible. If I, and I barely made it through heroic, can beat the game on legendary(sure, I died 15,000 times, but hey, I still beat it), then he can beat it with a controller.

Dude, sorry, but just face it. Playing with the controller against other players with mice and keyboards or against higher level difficulties of campaign is simply giving yourself an unnecessary disadvantage that you will regret having.

--7-- I've been a Bungie member since 2004. --7--

None of you guys are helping this guy out by critisizing him for using the 360 contoller. If your gonna [reply] say something inteligent please. And by the way I do believe the controller is easier to use on Halo PC, for one it's totally easier to actually strafe (which he is having troubles doing), and second it's totally easier to go into backward angles and do allot of your actions alot quicker.

(my setup is below if it will help you dude.)
My contoller setup:

A: jump
B: punch
X: reload
Y: switch weapon

[D-pad]
Right: say to vehicle
LEFT: say to team
UP: pick up item
DOWN: acton (vehicles)

[Bumpers]
RIGHT: switch grenades
LEFT: say to All

no need to be so nasty, sure there is no way a good km player would lose to a controller player, but it is pathetic that the games says to support something it clearly does not.

These companies do anything for money. 32mb card minimum specs? yes, if you want to run on a res of 4x3.

Having X set to the action button will reload and get you in/out of vehicles in multiplayer, but now in campaign if I rememer correctly.

I tried recording myself playing on legendary using a simple program called quickrecorder, but my pc couldn't handle it. It lagged way to much to even notice I was playing with a controller.

IF you don't believe me beating levels on legenary with an controller then try i yourself! I don't want to hear any comments anymore about a dead rat playing better than an 360 controller from people who haven't even tried it.

By the way here's the link to the same thread on the gearbox forums, the one without people who aren't helping me out:
http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?p=1130519 #post1130519

At leat there are some people that are trying to help me out here..
In campaign I got my controller figured like this

X: reload
start button: exchange weapon
select button: action

It's a bit getting used to but after picking up some weapons you'll get the hang of it. As for the rest of the buttons they are the same as on my xbox.

Still.. the real problem is strafing in MP, it still doesn't work the way it should be.. guess it's just a bug with a very low change of being fixed. Ashame though because FOR ME and prob some other people it does play better than K/M :)

I've played Halo PC with a controller as well and easily beat Legendary.

90% of the people in this thread need to STFU and get a life.

It's typical of the sloppy job they did with Halo PC that the controller doesn't work well in MP. It works just fine for Unreal Tournament, God, the irony.

This borders on a flame fest.

-On topic- It is my (paranoid) theory that Bungie/Gearbox deliberately -blam!-ed up gamepad support because they hate PC users. Hey, anyone know if the Mac version can use GPs properly?

Bahaha K/M FTW!
Sigged. =P

I would assume that it's because strafing in MP is disabled to merely have the odds somewhat even when it comes to controls. It would only make sense that if the majority is using K/M, why give controller users the upper-hand with more options speed-wise (If that's even an upper-hand, lawl)?

OR it could be a sign from God that K/M is just better and he's trying to persuade you in the direction of it. xD

Have you tried using the controller on your own server in multiplayer?
