hi i was wondering if it was possible to use an xbox 360 controlor in halo ce?

Yes, but it needs to be a wired one though.

could you use a charging cable (the thing that lets you play while charging)

You can use wireless but it needs a special USB adapter.

It's wired...
Why would you need to charge a wired controller?
You just plug the cord into a USB on your computer.

I mean for a wirless one

No. The charger only sends ''Power'' to the controller. There's no control data exchange.

A controller and Keyboard interface.


Man taht feel wierd with a X360 controller.

The controller works well for Halo CE, but has no crosshair magnetism, and there's deadzone so you'd probably be walking to the left while you're trying to stand still. The auto-aim built into the game is the only reason it's playable with a controller.

I used to use controller and i don't recommend it. It not as smooth. Sniping will really SUCK!

You can't walk or aim diagnally either, which really takes away from using the controller. I Love the feel of using a control, but you just can't use it that well with Halo CE.

The controller works fine, sometimes you slide around a bit. That's all.

I bought a wired controller just to use on CE. I have a setup where my tv is one of my computer moniters and make it feel like I was playing with a console and all. I use it for messing around in SP and to imagine what all the custom content would feel like if it had an xbox counterpart. There is no way you can play competitivly in MP with it.

I went 16 and 1 in a server with a controller, whoring the sniper. Sniping with the controller feels much more precise, but harder to maneuver

You have to turn connect the controller before starting up, then go into gamepads (under options), and make it one that you can use. Then in controls you can give it whatever button layout you want. It works perfectly for me, but there isn't any vibration.

yeah way to go :D
a receiver that costs 10 bucks more than an actual controller! why go buy an actual wired controller when you can have a receiver? only scrubs do that

The reason controllers are good for Halo 2 Vista is you get crosshair magnetism with a controller and the mouse and keyboard input for H2V is half-assed like nothing else. NO other FPS on the PC plays anything remotely like Halo 2 Vista. You may get more maneuverability with mouse and keyboard in H2V, but the amount of accuracy you gain from using a controller overwhelms it.

Play a game of snipers with mouse/keyboard on H2V, then play a game with a 360 controller and see how much your hit percentage increases. It's ridiculous.

I've played with the 360 controller and it is harder to aim and move correctly

if you had read my post you would realize im making a sarcastic remark about the value of a wireless controller receiver vs the value of a wired controller. you could just buy the wired controller for the same price as the receiver. now you have 2 controllers, and the wired one can be used with your 360 too.

Just use xpadder and use xbox 1 deadzones.
