How many times have you tried to switch grenades and ended up calling down ordnance you didn’t want?
I was just in a game on Settler. I wanted the beam rifle, but not while a warthog was driving by. I pressed the D-pad to switch to plasma grenades and ended up calling down a speed boost just as the warthog was driving by. Instead of killing the warthog with two plasmas I got killed. God, I hate that.
Never happens to me, if it bugs you enough switch your controls to default. The B button is nice for me.

How would that fix this problem? The D-pad is always used to switch grenades.
Switch your controls to recon or whatever else works. I’ve often had that problem but I rarely use ordnance so it’s not a big deal for me.
It has only happened to me once or twice. Annoying for sure, but really what is there to do
You guys should verify that what your posting actually makes sense. Recon and default and most (if not all) layouts have the same d-pad grenade switching.
Yeah it has happened to me a couple times and it is horrifying to get a needler in place of an incinerator cannon. I think yours was worse though. Yech. A beam rifle can help win a game.
I did that once. I learned not to do it again.
Great now that I’ve seen this, it’s going to happen to me… and it has never happened before…
There are many times when I call in ordinance and get the wrong one. My stupid giant hands =(
It’s happened to me a handful of times, mostly when I wasn’t paying close attention to when I had an OD.
Wanting to switch grenades and accidentally called down Pulse grenades… totally meant to do that.
Lol i hate it too. >.<

All of them use the D-pad to switch grenades so it doesn’t matter which controller configuration you use.
The worst thing about this case was that I thought I’d switched to plasma grenades when I hadn’t, so instead of sticking the warthog with two plasmas I bounced two frag grenades off it and then it killed me. And then when I respawned I had a speed boost waiting for me on the other side of the map, which someone on the enemy team stole. sigh
I’ve never had that one. I still get the OD i didn’t select often though. Tried switching a few controllers in case the dpad was too sensitive but nope it gives me something other then I selected.
Yes I’ve had this before too, switching grenades is second nature and the OD is never what you want. Although one time I did it the OD killed the warthog gunner, should have sent that to FotW, that was speed boost, damn hog rammed me afterwards too.

This. Need one of these.
It only happens when I completely forget what I’m doing. Too used to default to switch to any other button setup. I wish they wouldn’t keep changing the button set up for every Halo. 
I loved Bumper Jumper in H3.
