How have they never updated this? Holding forward to go forward is actually unintuitive for driving. I want to drive forward and look left and right to observe my surroundings. NOPE. Can't do that in Halo.

Dumb.

yeah and if you turn it right, the car then turns right too. I want the car to keep going in the same direction without turning when I turn the camera.

Driving sequences tend to be some of the most memorable parts of the series though.

I've never had a problem with the driving mechanics. The FOV is so wide I don't really need to look off to the sides.

Nah

It's actually one of the best

Move forward with left stick

Turn with right stick

It's like playing a fps game

No but even shitty games like Mercenaries 2 did it right. Right Trigger and Left Trigger should be the standard forward and back for driving in this age

Ditto. Got the MCC and beat each game on Legendary (humble brag), secretly hoping the driving would be better in the next title.

NOPE

Outside of open world games where driving is a focus I can't think of a AAA game that does it better. Driving in games where it's not a major focus usually suck. I always liked the driving in Halo.

One of my fav. parts of CE was driving. In co-op, and solo with an NPC in the back shooting the Covenent to pieces. And yes, I played on Legendary.

You can turn the camera and drive straight by compensating with the left stick.

The final level was amazing because of it.
The Halo 1 Warthog is the worst one I think. Halo 1's vehicle physics are just too floaty. And then there's of course the instant death when you touch a moving vehicle, which leads to self-splatters or accidentally killing allies.

But otherwise, the driving is perfectly fine throughout the series.

Imagine driving in your own car and you look to the right as you pass by another car that's been pulled over by a cop. Suddenly, your car starts going in that direction you looked, without you ever turning the wheel. Oops you ran off the road.

Yes, that kind of driving mechanic is absolutely stupid. I wholly agree.
