OP-"Your saying that new players who play on default will have a hard time beating players who are used to a different scheme?
Buttons are buttons, if one player is better then a new player its because the new player is new. Buttons have nothing to do with skill really, they should be able to be customized just to be fit to the user's liking and how he wants to play, not how good he wants to play."
You could however argue that the best Bumper Jumper player has an advantage over the best Default button player. Bumper Jumper allows the player to jump, aim, fire, and melee all at once, while the Default set up forces the player to take fingers off of certain buttons to perform different actions, which can severly limit speed and control in the heat of a fight.
Of course it just depends on the person, but technically, a person with a better set up has the advantage until proven otherwise. Bungie is famous for catering to lower skilled crowds(large emphasis on AR starts, beatdowns are more effective, cannot fire weapons as fast as finger can pull trigger, etc) which is all well and good, but it further backs my reasoning as to why the might have limited controller schemes on purpose.
Thats not completely true, infact I know a lot of good players who play on default and I know a lot of bad bumper jumper players who are better on default. Also, I think MLG players have to play on default, but I'm not sure.
What I'm trying to say is, the same can be said about the pre-made control schemes, you could say they are unbalanced, and maybe they are, just a little bit, but in the grand scheme of things that doesn't really matter, even if they may help good players do better. I personally think its completely fair and that a custom control scheme wouldn't make any noticeable differences in how good someone is, but rather, how much more conveniant it is for them to do what they do.
