Greenthumb, baby. I used to use default, but when I realised how much more efficient it was to melee by depressing the Right Stick and scoping with B, I fell in love with it. Beats the hell out of boxer since both your melee and grenades are accessible without removing your thumbs from the control sticks.

I used "jumpy" for a while, but now that with Halo 2 I'll need to get used to L being the grenade/dual wielding button, I use the default.

Boxer is the best in my opinion. You can circle around enemies and melee without taking your finger off of the right joystick, this makes you a master at shortrange, and you still can conveniently scope your opponents with a simple click. As far as halo 2 goes, what could be a better setup for the energy swords, both quick strikes and killing moves without moving the right thumb not to mention sweet melee combos with one weapon. Grenades are handy but usually they only need to be thrown in a certain vicinity and they don't call for pinpoint accuracy. Therefore boxer seems to be the most effective scheme for the all around player.

i use default because i snipe too much for greenthumb, use grenades to much for boxer and dont jump enough to justify using jumpy. I played with southpaw for a little while but then went back to default.

Boxer, sensitivity 7, no invert as it is so useless

  • 10.18.2004 6:02 PM PDT

Inverted
Green Thumb
Look Sensitivity '10'

Green Thumb makes for quieter zooming. You click the right analog stick to shawack, which is helpful because I sometimes press it on accident when running at someone, I have killed many doing this on accident.
