This is a feature that will greatly remedy the problem presented in the Bumper Jumper layout (hard to aim and move and use AA simultaneously).
I propose that 343 spend a little time and add the ability to choose “Toggle Armor Ability”, meaning you can tap the AA button (wherever it is) to trigger it, and when you want it to stop you press it again. This would mean for AAs like Hardlight Shield and Jetpack you just need to tap the buttons, so even pressing them stops you from moving or aiming, its for a much smaller amount of time.
Thoughts?
WOW Braveshart. You and I are exactly alike. Just this morning i was thinking of a solution to this problem and I was like they should include a toggle AA button. I searched it up and here it is.
I think this should be necessary and should be included. It doesnt affect anyone because no one has to acknowledge the option so it wont force anyone into something they dont want. I myself started to use bumper jumper and feel the same way, ever since Halo Reach actually. Its forced me to rethink how to use Jetpack and Hardlight Shield and a toggle button would work effectivley.
INCULDE THIS OPTION 343… No matter the cost!
Imagine a scenario where a player uses Promethean Vision to spot the enemies, toggles to Camo to sneak up on 'em, toggles to Hardlight Shield while fragging the YOINK! out of 'em, then toggles to the Jet Pack to get the hell outta dodge.
No thanks.
We don’t need people toggling through AA’s. It will just create a mess of things. Sorry, but it’s true. People cycling through AA’s will be like enabling god mode during matchmaking.
3 month old necro, and btw kaseking you have no clue what toggle is Lol
for what its worth, I agree
Explanation: toggle on/off means you don’t have to hold X for jetpack to continue. It is the same as toggle sprint for some configurations, you just press A and it continues to sprint
I apologize. I guess I misunderstood the original post as wanting to cycle through AA’s.
Nevermind!

no worries, if you were ableto cycle through AA’s that would be so overpowered haha
Is their a way to directly present them this idea? Or is this the best way? It would be an amazing improvement if they did.
I know this thread is old but I would like to show my support for this idea as a fellow bumper jumper frustrated with the hold abilities while still wanting to maintain aiming ability without clawing.
If there is a petition thread or something let me know.
I also would suggest switching sprint to something like lb and rb at the same time and having an extra button for grenade toggle as A. Using the dpad for something was great in theory but horrible for both grenades and ordinances at the same time and while in combat you have to stop moving to change grenade types.
Actually one thing would solve EVERYTHING. Microsoft should add support for the chatpad and by extension usb keyboards into games. If you own a chatpad and the game you are playing can use extra buttons you should be able to map them to the chat pad. Every console RTS would have benefited immensely from it. Microsoft already tries to extort money from you with proprietary gear so why dont they do it when it would actually benefit users a well as make money instead of ONLY when it makes them money.
