I’ve become very bored of being out-manuvered by players with Elite controllers or customer set ups so I’ve decided to change my controller setting. Now, I’ve used default/inverted for my entire Halo career (Bought Halo:CE on laucnh, played every title since) and only in Halo 4 and 5 has it not held me in good stead. In Halo 5 the difference is significant. I watch players like Pingy, iSpiteful and Proximitty and I can clearly see their controller set up allows them much better movement and accuracy.
I tried Bumper Jumper and could not get on with it, so now I’m trying Helljumper and it’s better. But training my brain to a new set of controls after months and years of default inverted is painful. I can already feel the benefit as my aiming is more constant and fluid, just got to learn to stop hitting the wrong buttons at key times.
Anyone else switched control schemes recently? Had any luck? What do you use and why?
Also, I see people moaning that REQs are pay to win. No no, Elite Controllers are pay to win.
I got the Elite Controller and put Sprint, Crouch, Thruster and Jump on the backs. About sensitivity, I’m so complicated with it. I play on 3 and 3, sometimes I feel it slow and sometimes fast, Idk…
I recently switched to Fishstick. I was crap for several weeks but I’ve finally gotten the hang of it and I’ve seen an improvement.
Also, yes, Elite Controller is totally pay to win. Some of the best $150 I ever spent. I got way better at a number of games after getting the hang of the paddles. Awesome stuff.

I just got an Elite this week, too (on sale, fortunately :P) and it’s awesome, but damn, how the hell do you get used to using all four paddles? I’m using two, atm, and they’re the smaller two, as the others (and especially all of them at once) get in the way of me actually gripping the controller, so I’m accidentally pushing all kinds of buttons, zipping and jumping all over the place when things get tense. Did you just have to get used to only supporting the controller’s weight with your pinkies from underneath? Because I’ve always tended to tighten/ tense my grasp around the palmed part of the controller when I’m aiming more frantically… and that leads to many paddle bumps, as you may well understand. Right now, I just have the two smaller ones in the two top slots and they’re bound to jump and thrust. I think sprint would be my next choice if I add a third paddle and I also thought it would potentially be cool to have X mapped underneath so that I could position my line of sight while holding the board vehicle button (for those ghost jousting matador jukes, trying to hop-jack a banshee, or just struggling to hold X when the prompt keeps disappearing on other vehicles), but I’ve found that just being able to jump without the face buttons has eased that problem enough.
Any advice for using or getting used to all four paddles?

Lol, kinda true. I bought the Strike Force Paddles because I couldn’t get used to bumper jumper in this Halo (just too many important buttons for midcombat I would rather have on the bumper). It takes so much time to get used to bumper jumper but if you are strapped for cash it’s what you got.
I love the Elite controller, but pay to win seems an overstatement. An onyx level player with a regular controler will still smack a gold player with an Elite. At the end of the day, it’s not so much the controller that nets the W, but LOTS and LOTS of practice. Keep at it.
I tried to switch to bump/jump in the middle of Halo 4. I didn’t go well. I went right back to recon - I don’t care how many people may have a controller advantage over me. It isn’t as if I was ever gonna be the best of the best anyway. The thing that genuinely ticks me off is that recon users can’t even ground pound in this game. “Hey recon, why didn’t you just pound that guy?” Face palm, and thanks for nothing, 343.
I also recently switched to helljumper after using default since Halo: CE.
It just takes time, but my game has improved big time. I’m not losing every melee battle anymore and now I can finally be that guy who jumps over people & melees the top of their head.
Getting used to it just takes time. It was whack for me at first but now I can’t imagine going back to normal. I went from default, to halo 4, to recon then finally to helljumper. .
As distasteful as it was at first to play Halo with zoom on the left trigger, I think it’s superior to the stick because clicking in on the stick seems to mess with my aim sometimes.

Just use your left thumb on the right stick while charging the groundpound.
