I'm playing Halo 3 on PC and my hornet won't climb. the left mouse pad shoots missiles.

Hi Animay G! I’m more than happy to help you!

Here are some steps you can follow to fix the controls issue:

Go to the game settings menu and make sure the controls are mapped correctly. Look for the option that allows you to change the function of the left mouse click so that it is used for climbing instead of firing missiles.

If you're using an Xbox controller to play on PC, check the control settings on the controller itself. You can access controller settings in the Xbox Accessories app, which you can download from the Microsoft Store. Make sure the buttons are mapped correctly and reassign the left mouse click to be used for uploading.

That doesn't work. An easy way to test if you have mouse acceleration:

Place your mouse all the way on the right side of your mouse pad, and the cursor on the right side of your screen. Move the mouse very slowly to the left, and when your cursor hits the left side of the screen, put your left index finger on the mouse pad. Now do the same movement fast, and see where your mouse is, when the cursor makes it to the left side of your screen.

I personally think they nicely streamlined the DOOM & Wolf 3-D controls. Of course, it being a controller & not a mouse, you cannot turn as fast as you can with a mouse, & seemingly have less control without a mouse, but it's really not that bad & I find
it a breeze to get around.

Here's the game controller set-up:

Right Trigger = Shoot

Left Trigger = Sprint (Hold button)

Left Stick = Move

Right Stick = Look

Y = cycle weapons one way

B = cycle weapons the other way

A = open door/press switch/perform action

X = Map (only in DOOM 2; press on D-pad for map in DOOM)

D-Pad = cycles certain weapons (only in DOOM 2)

The Wolf 3-D controls are not much different.

Dude, I don't even care about the whole keyboard and mouse vs game pads thing, I completely agree with you on it because either 1 can be adjusted, anyway. All I'm saying is based on the rumor that's suddenly going around Halo
2 Anivery just sounds so very unlikelygiven E3 and all. But yeah a a server for game pads would be great, though then again probably wouldn't look very profitable to many PC gamers with their supremacist keyboard and mouse mindsets.

To say one is 'better' than the other is simple idiocy and somehow I don't think that describes you.

[/quote]And that's where you're wrong. Who said this? Don't make unrelated across the board statements because I never said the keyboard and mouse is the best for everything. The keyboard and mouse is insufficient in other genres like racing and fighting
sims. I'm talking about the best tool for the job and you're talking about personal preference. I don't care what your preference is; you can go ahead and use a game-pad in a FPS if that's what you prefer but you're wrong and awfully silly if
you think the game-pad is better and more effective in a FPS than a keyboard + mouse. You can use a game-pad in Starcraft 2 because that's your choice to make but you're wrong if you think a game-pad would be better than a no-nonsense
mechanical keyboard and mouse. Keyboard and mouse is better by such a HUGE margin it's hardly comparable.

Can you imagine an idiot trying to play QuakeLIVE with a controller?
I had the great pleasure of taking up arms on my PC when Unreal Tournament 3 and Quake 3 allowed console gamers on the DreamCast to play with PC gamers. It didn't work out as well as they liked. They got smoked relentlessly, so bad infact that the feature
was removed. Because they had the movement and aiming of clumsy droid when using a game pad. What about Red Orchestra? Forget about recoil control, buddy. Microsoft made professional Halo 2 players play against casual
players with a KB+M. The professions got destroyed. It was like guys with no arms trying to wrestle other guys who had arms.

Call me when a controller can properly play a game like Tribes, UT2k, Quake 3, CounterStrike or Red Orchestra 2 and others without aim assist and gimping the game mechanics.
