A little Secret Trick all should know: INVERT Axis
Posted By: The_Spoon <ross.spiller@colorado.edu>Date: 5/21/01 1:58 p.m.

In Response To: controls... (Freewill)

: I can't negate your opinion, but as someone who had *never* touched an XBox
: controller until just a few days ago, I can tell you that I had *no*
: problem adapting to the controls. There were grumbles about the Y-axis
: (up-down) being opposite to what was expected, but yes, that can be
: flipped as well. Anyone that bothered to read the helpful controller
: mappings right below the tv itself would've seen it. I myself had trouble
: at first, since I didn't read that note until much later in the week, so I
: just forced myself to learn it. Now, if I flipped it, I might have to
: relearn it all over again :)

: Late in the show Saturday, Hamilton Chu even commented on how impressed he
: was to see me do some 'circling' around an opposing team member in some of
: the CTF games Claude and I played. Apparently, that take a certain amount
: of skill with both thumbs on the controller. Hey, I'm getting good at
: this! :-)

I agree with this Completely. The Controls worked Great. Also on a side note I thought I'd share a little Trick That a Bungie Rep Showed me.

If you want to flip the Y-Axis (invert it or Un-invert it) you don't even have to go into the settings menu. YOu press the Button next to the Start button I think its like a select button and you prett the X button (might have been the B button but I think it was X). So you press select + X at the same time and it flips the Y-axis for the right analog stick. Just thought I'd let you all know for the next tiem you play halo. Also that is way a lot of the Controls kept getting inverted people invertenly ran over this little Trick and BaM they had an inverted Axis that they couldn't get rid of.

: Anyway, my theory as to why they chose the particular default conrol mappings
: for the jeep is because it matches the regular marine walk/turn controls.
: In other words, the same stick to turn you as a marine also turns the
: jeep. Similarly, your forward/backward walking stick/button is your
: forward/backward driving stick/button. So, by keeping it consistent, you
: don't force such a sudden shift in what does what on the controller.

: As for remapping... as any console gamer will tell you, 90% of the console
: games out there will let you switch thru various different control
: configurations out there. In other words... duh! :)

: BTW, I'm resisting the urge to flame epollyon, who continues to act like an
: ass.
