Subject: If you could map your own controls, what would they be?

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

My ideal controls would look like this:

Triggers
LT- Grenades
LB- Jump
RT- Shoot
RB- AA

Buttons
X- Zoom in/zoom out
Y- Switch Weapons
B- Action/Reload
A- Switch grenade

Sticks
LS- Crouch
RS- Melee


So what are yours? Also, why?

I think my mapping choices would better facilitate AA's that require continued holding of the button without sacrificing aim too horribly (I can't play claw) for me. I also hate derping with the zoom while I'm getting shot, and so having X serve as those controls would serve as a way to avoid it, although I can foresee other minor challenges with this setup.


I wonder why custom-mapping hasn't really come to console FPS's yet. Yeah, the options aren't as extensive as PC, but it would still be a nice feature.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I would continue to use bumper jumper. I am far too used to that to adjust myself to anything else.

I could go back to default if I needed, but bumper jumper is where I'm going to stay.

I would just stay on boxer, been using it for the better part of 10 years. Reach's boxer (with throw nades on RB) is the best one imo.

I like bumper jumper as well which is why I tried to keep it relatively intact with my preferences. I tried switching back to default for better use of AA's like jetpack, but I just don't feel like adjusting to a change that drastic.

Would make H2's default controls because its something really familiar and they make sense.

It's sad that we still don't have fully customizable controls. Is it 1999 still? There's no excuse for these games to keep lagging behind.


Glad someone here shares the sentiment. Here I was thinking I was alone in this.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Bumper jumper, and a mind-reading strap connected to my mind that would control my AA's.

Would you settle for lolKinect?

I'd move the B and X buttons on my controller to where I'm usually resting my middle finger on the under side of my controler. I'd also keep bumperjumper.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Make it exactly like Halo 3's for me.

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

I would stay on Recon.
I might change gernade switching to LB instead of X and get rid of the AA button.
