A Letter from the D-Pad Community

Games Other Halo
1

The D-Pad is one of the most overlooked controller additions of all time, excluding the NES era.

I would give the D- Pad additions such as lowering of the weapons, not nessicaraly in MP, but in Custom Games and such where no one cares as much if people find xploits.

Another addition i would put in is certain buffs that you can activate such as increased sheild points at the cost of your mobility or increased energy weapons damage at the cost of sheild strength.

Another addtion that would be nice a triggered animation of some sort which has a delay so you can cotrol the animations. It wold be nice for members of the Machinima Community like me.

I understand if you can’t do anything about it at this point 343i, but if you would consider this for Halo 5 or 6, it would be much obliged.

Sincirely,

Let’s keep this thread alive if those who support this want 343i to see this!

Excellent post

I support this. We have a D-Pad might as well use it for something.

The ideas you mentioned for D-Pad useage are just terrible and would make the game look bad in my eyes. And doesnt D-Pad up go to the ‘‘monitor’’ in forge mode? Cant really think any other use for it.

The lowering weapons would be pretty useful.

the focus is on the D-Pad not the suggestions.

Just some quick minded ideas. :stuck_out_tongue:

Up on D-Pad to activate standard issue rocket boots.

awesome idea, it would probably be his booster pack, not boots

Another idea I had was to double press A to activate a jump boost.

I actually posted this thread before you bud.

It would be so cool to just press down on the D-pad to go into alert carry other than doing a long awkward button combo offline.

Agreed.

I don’t think that 343 will do this but that would be awesome

Lol what is with this trend of saying “a letter from this community.” Lol but I agree.
