I was frequently talking with the guys about many things in the game, giving feedback on each playthrough of Spartan Ops and each Multiplayer match.
I would like to make a more public request in regards to button layout.
I am a Bumper Jumper player since its introduction in Halo 3, but there is a significant flaw that I think many Bumper Jumper players would like tested and switched for the retail release.
Currently, Armor Ability is on Left Trigger and Throw Grenade is on (X).
I made a request to 343i to please switch those buttons, as it makes it extremely hard to aim where you want your grenade to go while having the button as (X), thumb off left stick. Sprint being (A), Crouch is on Left Stick like normal, and (B) being Reload is fantastic for fellow Bumper Jumper players.
(X) as Grenade and Left Trigger as AA is really difficult and makes the layout almost to the point where I want to stop using it.
Please put it through some playtests in the near future at your convenience, 343i. I would love to try it out, but I guess if it doesn’t work out then I will take what I get.
Thank you for your time, 343i.
I would personally move sprint to then move switch grenade to the d-pad
How about you just let people put actions to any button wherever they want. Isn’t G4 meant to be an “evolution” and yet we still have the same old controller schemes?
I would prefer Sprint on X, AAs on A, and Switch Grenades on the D-Pad, along with Zoom on RB and Melee on the RS.
@I Subtle I
Frankie said it wouldn’t be feasible as they’ll have to check every possible layout for exploits. D:
shut up dude be happy you got to play it… east coast here we get nothing

Well, that wasn’t very helpful.

in the great words of the duke blow it out your a…z…zz
Please keep it friendly, I am trying to have a reasonable stand on this.
The button layout is perfect, except for LT and (X) which I think would make a lot of Bumper Jumper players happy if they were switched.
They’ve already confirmed that the Bumper Jumper controls were messed up and they will correct it.
X = Armor Abilities
LT = Grenades
Also, welcome to Waypoint! 
Good point OP.
Also I think button layouts in general should be looked at a little bit…
Since Reach I use the Recon layout.
So, I like Sprint being on Left bumper.
Please don’t change it to X… Of all buttons…

I think it worked well in Reach, so why not?
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you meant for Bumper Jumper.

At the least, Sprint should be RB or LB
That defeats the purpose of Bumper Jumper which made LB jump and RB melee.
Made the Ninja move in Halo 3 so fluent and easy to do. Anything aside from LB jumping and it’s a wreck for me, haha.

I personally dislike having zoom on the stick. If it was switched with Melee, it’ll allow players to zoom in more easily, while making Meleeing easier, too.

Mother of god so many different opinions.
I am talking about just Bumper Jumper. If you are a Bumper Jumper player, this would only affect you. One guy above said it was fixed, a confirmation would be great.

I know. I meant for Bumper Jumper. I feel that it’ll be a great change.
Also, it is fixed. 343 confirmed it.

Yeah, I’d like to try it. For my style it seems stick is more appropriate since clicking doesnt affect my quick trigger whereas being on the bumper I’d have to move up and down the right side to zoon and shoot. It wouldn’t be good for me.

For me, I feel that the bumper would be more suited for my playing, as the bumper is easier to click.

Yeah. I’m very good at ranged and close quarters so Click Zoom makes aim and zoom easy, and the quick melee as well. I find myself zoom in and out more than melee over and over.
im a little upset with the controls too, at least for boxer which is what i use, b is sprint which i dont like at all
