Bumper jumper because it's best for ninjaing IMO.

I use bumper jumper as well. I like the fact that I can jump turn and beatdown without picking up a finger. But, I have only used that and the default controls. Also I know Reach has a more complicated bumper jumper set up where you might need to "claw" so that you can use the armor abilities effectively.

Default. because I don't want to change it.

I do know some people switch to Boxer when they play gametypes with only swords. But other than that I am not even sure if anyone uses anything except for Default or Bumper Jumper.

More will change when Reach comes out. BJ isn't the best pick for Reach. I don't remember which one I switched to but I changed for the Beta.

BJ would be a great choice for those who are really good with clawing though. I fail horribly when I try to claw though

Default cos its basically the button layout i had always been used to in the previous halo games (obviously as they were on the original xbox there were a few changes but hey)

I use boxer the entire time I play.
It does help in swords, but I don't really like swords.
More importantly it lets you melee a lot faster.
You can still be holding down the right trigger firing your weapon and still pull left trigger and you IMMEDIATELY melee.
It's a beautiful thing.

Bumper Jumper....ive been using it for over two years now,its better all around IMO.

I'm gonna have to play around with Boxer. That does sound like a useful feature lol.

Bumper Jumper, because i feel i have more control over my spartan and dinosaur

Bumper jumper. All the most important actions in the game - shooting, jumping, grenades, and melees - are separate from your thumbs. Now I can dual-wield and come out of it with a melee all with zero downtime and all with full controls on the sticks.

Yeah, I have really big hands, so it works out.
