And I made a better Control Layout than the current one!
So B Button for Crouch… Horrible Idea
First off, using both sticks while being able to move and aim is something that I use in almost every single match in Halo 3 and Reach
Second, this messes up some custom games. Custom games are just one reason I love Halo as opposed to other games. Some of them do require the ability to navigate while being crouched or going into crouch.
Please, it is awkward in games like Halo to have the B button be crouch by default.
Now I only complain about this, cause none of the other controls schemes look good at all.
Now I do have a proposal for how I think the control layout should be.
The biggest problem with having crouch on B is crouch jumping. It’s pretty difficult to jump with A and then switch the B real quick while in mid-air.
The best way to do a default control scheme is to just take Halo 1 and 2’s and just stick sprint and the AA on the bumpers like you have. Simple fix, every knows it already, and it’ll work.
The rest of the schemes can be adapted from other schemes from previous titles.

Not bad, but the toggling sprint/AA would be odd I think
I just dont get why they don’t give you the option for the original Halo layout. It’s not like it’s the only one. They can give you their -Yoink!-ty one as an option too.
That’s the layout I’ve wanted ever since day 1. I think it’s so perfect because you can use your armour ability while looking around and moving, sprint like Halo:Reach, and melee doesn’t need to be held so you can stop holding the right stick for a split second. Reload is like Halo 2, and everything just makes sense.
I REALLY hope this is an option cause it’s exactly what I’m hoping for.

As much as I’d love that, It probably won’t happen.
My control scheme would probably be something like this:
Left Thumbstick: Move (Click to crouch)
Right Thumbstick: Aim (Click to zoom)
A: Jump
X: Reload
B: Melee
Y: Switch weapons
RT: Fire
LT: Throw Grenade
RB: Sprint
LB: AA
D-Pad Up: Switch grenade type

OP’s control scheme is almost the same as yours. Only RB and LB are switched.
I’m not sure if this would be overcrowding the function or not, but i was thinking that perhaps clicking the left stick could be used for both crouching and running…have it to where if you’re not moving forward (ie stick pushed to the up position) when you click it would crouch, but if you are walking forward it would cause you to run instead…not to mention midair (where you obviously don’t need to run) you would do the traditional pick up your legs for additional height. Sounds a bit overcrowded, I know, but with a bit of fine tuning I’m confident it would be a good way to handle sprint while keeping a similar control scheme to previous titles.
and personally, I’m not too terribly worried about how Halo 4’s specific layouts will work, as whatever I use I’m sure I’ll adapt, but I do still frequently play all the Halos, and even the subtle differences in control schemes now affects my gameplay…I mean getting in a CQB situation with a brute in H2 can be a bit frustrating when you circle around him go to give him a punch in the back only to switch your grenade type, be taken back for a second realizing that you’re not playing Reach, and die frustrated.
