I will say that I'm kinda disappointed in how the Control Tether is presented. It is more useful than one presents it as. It can actually be game breaking if used correctly and gives one an insane advantage. The reason why I believe it deserves more credibility is because of one thing: You don't get damaged while controlling an enemy! I have played in multiplayer games where I kill a Grunt and wait behind its spawn to get endless immunity. If one dies, I just reassemble and wait for the new guy.

SPOILERS FOR END BOSS!!

This is a favorite because of how helpful it was in the final boss fight. It was pretty difficult (granted I was younger) and the enemies the boss spawned only made it harder. That was until I managed to take control over a Trooper with the Control Tether. I was unstoppable and took the boss down by a LOT. It was probably 1/4th-1/6th of his health. Regardless of how much I did, it really helped because of the unlimited ammo the enemies get and the speed of the Trooper. I did lose the trooper afterwards but it was enough for me to carry on the rest on my own.

It is a truly terrifying weapon when one uses it like this. It is one of the most memorable weapons from the game to me.
