I know this is pretty simple but why don't we use the D-pad for sprinting press down to put away your guns and then if you run out of energy they will automatically come back up and you could press up on the d-pad to do it manually it's all logical

Thoughts anyone

I say save the up-for something else. Either just press the down button again or pull the right trigger.

There definitely needs to be some type of button that you can press to enter or exit sprinting.

Well I don't what it would be used for either I saying it can be consolidated if necessary. Very good idea you had.

Yeah, there definitely has to be just one button specifically for sprinting. I would hate to have to use the Y button until you come to the empty slot in order to sprint. I like your idea of using the D-Pad. About time we put that damn thing to use.

I originally thought that the D-pad should be put to use with the new features like dual-wielding I thought that you could press left to drop the other gun for two guns but then I Knew it was The B button to do that but now that I think of it could the d-pad be used for the wall looking perhaps the side function but that would be hard so I'm not sure about that

I prefer the analog stick myself. That's why it's analog and not digital. The further you push it forwards, the fast you'll move forwards. Just hold it up all the way until it hits the rim of the socket for a couple of seconds and WHAM! You're sprinting.

maybe but then it doesn't give you much control you could use the d-pad to put weapons away then use the analog to control the speed of it incorporating you idea
