I played Halo 2 since it came out up until the day I got Halo 3. Now I only play Halo 3 and my controls are Bumper Jumper. I decided on a whim to play Halo 2 the other night and got destroyed. I felt very limited because I could not jump and aim at the same time - Bumper Jumper.
Anybody else have this feeling after playing the Halo 2?

Uh, hi?

i dun play halo 2 anymore, there was no Xbox 360 or bumpers on the controler when H2 came out

I've been playing on default since halo came out and find I can't change. Plus I like to play halo 2 still, so it's better to stick with default.

I guess it's just what you're used to -- I've played default since Halo 1 came out, and I really can't play it any other way.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Can someone please explain to me what 'Bumper Jumper' is? Jump and shoot at the same time, what? I can already do that...

I guess you use the bumper to jump, which some say is an advantage, an advantage of which I don't understand one bit.

Default is my hero.

Bumper Jumper allows you to jump and move the right thumbstick at the same time, whereas any other control scheme you have to take your finger off the right thumbstick to jump.

if you can't jump and aim with default their is something wrong with you. Button layout advantage is only in your mind.

There is a definite advantage to button layout and only a fool would say it's in your mind.

Been playing Halo since 2001. I know my Halo.

It's very annoying when trying to play some classic H2.

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

I've felt this way quite a few times, actually. Thankfully I can adjust somewhat quickly when it comes to button-layout, so it's not as much of an annoyance as I thought it would be.

But when I do go back to Halo 2, I stick to social games. That just makes it a tad bit easier ;-)

Haha, I'm glad it's not just me! I moved onto Bumper Jumper after playing Halo 3 for sometime but whenever I go back to Halo 2 and the default controller settings - I suck so bad....

I lose pretty much every beatdown, find it hard reloading at crucial moments, don't even jump when supposed to and end up falling... the list is endless, it's like I've never played the damn game before!

I find myself sticking to Team SWAT if I ever venture back onto Halo 2 - it involves less pick-ups and beatdowns, etc.... which is good for me!

If only they could add Bumper Jumper in an update - I'd be so happy....

That would be amazing! B.J gives you such an advantage in CQB, which in halo 2 was king
