Here's the deal- I've never met anyone else who is an avid Halo gamer who uses legacy controls; most of you don't even know what it is. I'm interested to see what other legacy players have ended up like, whether they're good or not, etc.

I'm assuming this is where I'd post to find out if legacy players exist.

Message me or something...if there are enough of you I thought a Legacy clan would be pretty beastly.

My mom uses Legacy controls, but that's because she's used to old games where that's what the control scheme was like. It's too hard for her to use default.

Is that a burn or are you serious?

Legacy all the way, I find that I can't play other games without that thumbstick layout at all.

the Shadows are watching.

I used to use Legacy, but then a game came out that did not have it, so I adapted to default, and have been using it ever since. I used to be pretty good with Legacy too.

What exactly is Legacy? I've never tried using it so I don't know exactly how it's laid out.

By the way, I personally use GreenThumb because I melee a lot more than I use a scope.

Hell yeah he's serious... Phoenix' mum is hardcore, she's going pro in H3 and R6V coming up!!!

Oh, and I use Legacy. Always have...always will. All the way back to GoldenEye. I can't stand using default, cant stand games that won't allow me to use Legacy.

Im pleased i found this thread!! i thought i was a legasy outcast. i used legasy for 5 years and considered myself to be very good on farcry as well as halo, but i felt like a retard trying to play with default, there are to many games that dont alow you to use legacy i had to return 2 because of this untill i bought rainbow 6 for the 360 and forced myself to change to default, iv been using default for 3 months now, but i now feel cursed as my 5 years of legacy that made me good has gone to waist and im only average on farcry and halo now. the reason being that once you train to use default legasy become unatural, think of how it feels to play default thats how it feels to play legacy when you switch

also does anyone play winner stays on with mate, and find that you become a pain as every one has to go into options and change contoler every time you go on or off lol?

i too, use legacy controls. I have tried to play some other games that have default, then go back to halo and i suck horribly. I've even tried adjusting to default, but just can't i suck too bad. And normally i'm pretty good. BTW, there are legacy style controls on R6V. I love playing that game. I played the demo like a million times! The i rented it. i'm a poor bastard. Can't afford the game.

You use greenthumb because you melee more? I use Boxer because I melee more. Eh, whatever.

I've been using legacy since before I can remember. It's definitely the veteran layout, and any other arrangement just feels wrong. Same with look inversion, I can't do without that either. I've played a few games that force you to use defult, and it's like learning to play video games all over again.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

One custom game, I switched randomly though out and I think I won >_>

I am totally switching controls now because of you >_<

At charlotte MLG tournament during the near finals for 4v4 i think it was like Nice Like Rice and some other middle type squad were about to start up a warmup FFA or something anyway it was 2 teams from top 8 but only 6 of them were at the table so me and my friend walked in really close with controllers in hand and they said hey you guys can play. so we immediately sat down and logged in as the first person that came up on our screen, mine happened to be the pro 8 Ball. So the game started and the dude apparently plays like legacy boxer inverted with a 10 sensitivity, needless to say i was like WTF, so i had to change all of it during the match. so a pro player uses a form of legacy apparently.

also i took second place in the warmup.

Rofl, I hate Southpaw. I went over to a friends house to play some split screen and I used one of his profiles that had a funny name, not knowing it was Southpaw. I had to die a couple times before I realised my usual controls weren't working.

Could someone possibly post the layout for Legacy? I'm too lazy to go check it out.
