This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Even the original Duke controller had two analog sticks and two analog triggers. Mapping two independent actions (camera movement and steering) to the same input was already bad in Halo CE, but it was downright criminal in Halo 2 and later games that started to include massive backdrop setpieces. You can either look at the Covenant spaceship glassing the city or steer your warthog, but not both. It's asinine.

I'm not looking at the landscapes while in a firefight. That's why the game designers give you moments of pause. Like when you exited the cave in Halo 4 or the very beginning of HL Episode 2.

I've never had any problems with Halo's controls.

It can still be relevant in combat when you want to look around to see where your enemies are or find the exit or something.
