For me, there's a lack of weight to Halo controls. It feels like I'm just zipping a cursor around the screen to shoot.

Goldeneye, on the other hand, feels like you're actually moving a character.

For me, that tactile difference alone makes me much prefer Goldeneye.

Eh, I think the Goldeneye controls work okay because of the stiff N64 joystick, and Halo controls work with the modern joysticks that center well. Each one's style wouldn't have worked well with the other's controller. However, the Halo style is definitely much better overall. I don't really care about "weight", I just want it to be easy to shoot things, and the Halo aiming is so much smoother.

Plus, the controls for halo were pretty much the basis for every modern console fps. That control scheme was an inevitability regardless but at the time it was revolutionary
