Over time I completely lost the ability to play a shooter with the controller. I just can't hit anything after close to a decade of playing with just mouse and keyboard. 15 years ago it was the other way round for me.

Yeah. I spent an ungodly amount of time on halo 3 and ODST on the 360 back in the day. Then I eventually got a PC and in just a couple years trying to play a shooter with a controller gave the game feel equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

I played the original HALO when it came out and did awfully at it.

I recently bought the PC Master Chief collection and was surprised it was so easy since I'd had so much trouble with the original.

Then I realized the difference was controller vs. m+k. Controllers are good for some styles of games, but IMHO, shooters ain't one of them.
