Here is how I think the controller layout should be.

ON FOOT:
A - Jump
B - Punch/(Hold) switch to unarmed
X - Reload/pick up weapons/(Hold)get in vehicle
Y - Switch weapons/(Hold)pick up dual wield
LT - Throw grenade/Lift sheild/Fire dual weild
RT - Shoot
LB - Walkie-talkie
RB - Switch grenade
LTH - Walk + straff (Press up twice to sprint)
LTH(Press) - Crouch
LTH(Hold) - Prone
RTH - Look
RTH(Press) - Zoom
D-PAD UP - Night vision
D-PAD DOWN - Flash light

UNARMED COMBAT:
RT - Jab
LT - Block
D-PAD UP + RT - Upper cut
D-PAD LEFT + RT - Left hook
D-PAD RIGHT + RT - Right hook
D-PAD DOWN + RT - Punch to gut

D-PAD UP + LT - Block upper cut
D-PAD LEFT + LT - Block left hook
D-PAD RIGHT + LT - Block right hook
D-PAD DOWN + LT - Block punch to gut

A - Jump
B - Instant kill after block(with good timing)/Stealth kill (From behind)
X - Steal weapon
Y - Switch back to weapons

(Thumbsticks remain the same)

I liked the first half of the controls then I saw the unarmed combat moves and I have to say thi isn't DOA4 at most the only hand to hand combat moves that they would add would be a simple jab or punch and mabey a block.

Torch?

Basically:

"Torch" (UK/AUS) = "Flashlight" (US)

Personally, I hope Bungie work Melee into one of the shoulder buttons as a new setup (and have B for Melee on a "classic" setup)

i can make a diagram of the controller and u can post it!

but it might replace the energy sword and then you could have more of a realistic feel to melee combat

You understand you can't move and use the d-pad at the same time right? This boxing system pretty much defeats the purpose of Halo being a FPS.

Master Chief in Fight Night Round: 4?

basicly theres also an ordinary melee but its something new and would be really fun stealing a guys weapon then beating the heck out of him

ok, this is a FPS first person SHOOTER

so no unarmed combat. 2nd, personally i liked the ..greenthunb? controls, where the right thumbstick click is used for melee. and B was zoom. oh and i like the idea of steal weapon, but i say keep it y, and it only happens when ur up closeto an enemy; and ur not duel wielding.


otehrwise, stick with the tried and tested configurations from the other 2 games.

it basicly is but with the xtra option for unarmed combat which would feel good or maybe it could be used for the energy sword

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I am all for the unarmed combat- so long as lunging dissapears for good. despite criticisms such as "this is not fightnight" I think blending of game genres is awesome. Halo has always felt part fighting game for me, so I dont mind any changes- BUT, I do not think Bungle will do anyhting like it.

I wanted a new update for halo2 that allowed additional control layouts for us 360 players, but that isnt happening. the big thing is that jump and melee need to be the shoulder buttons for a layout in halo3. without that, the controller isnt being utilized correctly.
