I just wanted to thank 343 for finally challenging the orthodoxy of grenades on the left trigger. In Reach, the addition of armor abilities made the placement of grenades on LT obsolete since there were 4 other actions used more frequently during play, shooting, jumping, melee, and AAs. Relegating any of these higher priority functions to a face button was sub-optimal. Now in H4, there are 5 functions with higher priority with sprint becoming a player trait. Again, thank you 343, you’ve made my favorite control style even better.
Yeah but… they could have made it better…
> Yeah but… they could have made it better…
I actually agree, sprint on the thumb stick instead of crouch like it is in the default setup would have been even better, but I’m mostly just excited that they’ve finally dared to move grenades from the trigger.
I don’t think I could be more unhappy with this, actually.
> I don’t think I could be more unhappy with this, actually.
How is this not good news? A higher priority function has been moved to a trigger. Its objectively more ergonomic and more efficient.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s an old photo. They have actually moved grenades back to left trigger because of the uproar. Personally; I think it’s dumb as hell to move grenades from LT. Call me old fashioned, but I tend to use 'Nades more often than AA’s, now especially with sprint being default.
Here is the updated picture:
Eh, this was a fault in that old build, grenades are already back to the Left Trigger. 
To clarify, the X to grenade was an engineering error for the E3 build, it has since been corrected for the gold disc.
Greandes are now back to LT.

I agree I’d rather have grenades on the trigger. I hold my controller “claw” style so armor abilities are easy to use even with bumper jumper. Now everything is different, it will be very tough to get used to -_-
Fishstick is best imo.
meh, Recon 4 the win

Read the posts above you… grenades are back to LT.

Excellent!
Old picture is old, grenades are on LT now. I’m glad, grenades on A is a really bad idea
I’m going to switch to default, sprint and AA make bumper-jumper seem outdated.
Then I retract my thanks and replace it with deep disappointment. 343 your failure is complete.

You would rather not be able to throw grenades accurately and quickly?
