Wait the hell up. So Halo 2 for PC somehow isn't Halo 2 all of a sudden? Then what is it? Shadowrun? Mario? Sonic the Hedgehog? Heh. Sounds like your argument could use some aim-assist too. But no. It's still Halo 2. Just because it got moved to a different platform doesn't make some dramatically different game. It was moved with all the noobcrap features of the original, which I have indeed played extensively and compared to other games, giving my opinion merit (guested under my brother and later a friend of mine, which is why you don't see it on my GT). So yeah, I haven't played H2V. Didn't bother (and spent my money on a much better game later on). Having played the original and knowing it's a complete piece of trash, and reading about how everything that made it a piece of trash was moved over, I know that port's a piece of trash without needing to play it. If it has everything that made H2 H2, it's crap.

On average a Match doesn't even last this long its <10mins but I thought it was a good round number.[/quote] Less than 10 minutes a match? You must be sooooo proooo. Ub3r l33t. Oh I'm certainly not about to doubt it, though. We both know that auto-aim makes those kills breeze by. Considering there's only one way to play WoW, it would also only be fair to count your total time spent in campaign. But I know not all of that would be logged. Not to mention a good chunk of that WoW time was my girlfriend playing on my PC with Xfire running, as she did that a lot when I was at work. However long you try to math it up, it's still gonna be inaccurate. But given that you're spent more time on Halo than you'd have us believe, and I've spent much less time on WoW than my Xfire stats would have you believe, I stand by my guarantee.

Seriously, if you think bringing [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au7KE9xUVTk]all this crap[/url] to a PC game was a good idea, you don't clearly know what a good PC shooter is, and your opinion on that subject is moot.

Not sure what to tell you. I can only speak for what I have tried and what works. I'd try a USB controller that isn't using a PS2 adapter to see if that works.

And yes, I also have this same problem when I play Borderlands. Except the axis on the left analog stick is also messed up. I've calibrated my controlers multiple times. It shows that they're working perfectly at the controller settings screen, but when I get to H2 or Borderlands, its still a mess.

I know that the Xbox 360 controller would work, but I'm a little low on cash right now, and paying $50 for a controller is quite a lot. I was hoping I could find a way to get either the converter or the Saitek gamepad to work.

Havent had that issue with any controller. It works with my 360 controller. You may need to calibrate in the gamepad Settings in the control panel. Also does it happen in other games too?

I've had problems like this with Epic PC games, but not Halo 2... so far. Do you know anyone who has an Xbox 360 controller? I've used one of those, and a Logitech Dual Action gamepad with success.
