Yes, but the "one stick" which is motion commands Y and X translation, i.e., forward/reverse and strafing.

So I'm trying to imagine what a Halo-style skid-steer would be, since you can't strafe a skid-steer.

The only mental image I can conjure up is arcade drive with 2 joysticks; one of which uses only the Y-axis (for forward/reverse) and the other uses only the X-axis (for rotation). But I can't see how that's better than a one-stick arcade.
