I was bored, so I took the liberty of manually searching Microsoft's download center (:O) and I found this article. If you go down to the bottom of that page, the links to the drivers should be right there. (2nd to last entry)

EDIT: Sorry, it appears that those links just lead to more articles, so I would suggest going here and looking around a bit.

^ what that links says is that you need to go to the Microsoft gaming center and dled some special drivers so the controller will work.

Also don't be to surprised if the controller dose not work on Halo PC. Halo PC is about 5 years old now and the new controller may not be capable.

Just for future reference, you can get the driver from this page:

i have a 360 controller and as far as i can remeber you just add the controller to your control panel then turn the controler on via the control panel then go on halo and select it as a game pad and program the controls. i did it and im 12.
