What does anyone think the control scheme could be for Halo 2?

Do you think they will put in the prone position?

Do you think they will include leaning?

only if leaning is a toggle thing, alongside crouching and prone.

yeah of course it would be toggle. but they would probably include a way to switch it.

i hope they make the controls extremely customizable.

leaning only. I hate playing legendary and having to expose my whole body from cover to get a good shot, just to get smoked by a jackels charged Plasma Pistol.

[color=lime] You do know that you can jump from behind and then back behind it really quick long enough for you to see whats ahead but fast enough before for the A.I. can register they saw you right? [/color]

If they are aware of you, then you cannot do this. you can though if they are just hanging out

I think prone position would be much more useful than leaning. In multiplayer snipers would have much more cover. I doubt Bungie will put it in though because its not meant to be a military simulation like Rainbow Six, or Ghost Recon.

"toggle" is basicly when you dont have to hold the button down to stay crouching you just push it once to crouch and push it again to uncrouch. the dpad had no use in halo so i assume that you can lean using it (we saw it in the e3 03 demo)

yeah i was gonna say that i thought that the logical buttons to use would be....

D-Pad left and right = Lean left and right

D-Pad up = sprint

i said prone only, cause i think leaning would be tricky to do with the controls

maybe not though..

we'd get used to it......but like i said, do you have ANY idea about how many people would camp if prone was in Halo 2? it would be pretty rediculous.....

well ur not going to be moving while leaning so it alright and then ur up on d paad for sprint would work but prone would suck cause u couldnt run someone over with ghost so if ur about to be boosted over u could just go prone

haha that would be funny to just lay down when there is ghosts driving all around you
then you could just pull out your rocket launcher....

there would be a lot of camping with prone ability

I'll bet you it wont be in the game

You misunderstand leaning when you lean you cant fire your gun or throw a grenade.

yeah Bungie is pretty professional when it comes to anticipating -blam!-NESS

like with leaning YOU CANT FIRE.....this is the smartest thing ever, otherwise people would be doign counterstrike crap and "quick peak glitching"....it would be so -blam!-, but BUngie anticipated this and made it so you cant fire when peaking

Don't you bloody people ever stop repeating junk.

PRONE IS IGNORANT!!! You know WHY!!!!

Because the Master Chief has half a ton of MJOLNIR Armour which is controlled by him and his suits basic AI. IT DOESNT MOVE OR HAVE ANY TYPE OF EFFECT FROM HIS BREATHING. SO why would he have to crawl? Barbed wire???? How about noo. Leaning????? This isnt splinter cell. The MC's ability to stealth is going to be enough to complete the missions. Stop coming up with new ways to increase the complexity of the game while adding absolutely no added gameplay value. SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Ignorance is Futile.
