Grenade swapping is bad

I’m not understanding the new control scheme for
Grenade swapping.

Instead of tapping left on the d-pad to swap between the TWO grenade types you can carry, you have to tap left then either up, down, left, or right depending on the grenade you want to use. This could make sense if you could carry 4 grenade types (and I’m betting that is the case in campaign) but it feels so clunky and not intuitive at all. It makes more sense to just tap left on the d-pad until the grenade type you want comes up because you don’t have to think about it and remember <strong>‘oh, I want the dynamo grenade. I’ll just press left on d-pad to swap grenades and… which button was it again? looks right on d-pad. looks back at center of screen Oh, I’m dead because I had to spend more than half a second swapping grenades.’</strong>
Eventually, I might remember which button is which. I know down is spike grenade because I love that grenade. But it still takes me longer than a quick button tap to swap to that grenade!

EDIT: I realized dropping weapon was moved to ‘hold Y’, which is fine.

Yeah I have no idea what’s going on with it. Mine is mapped to all the bumpers and triggers and it seems wild. Either way you have to press two buttons, I’d rather press just the dpad twice and cycle them.

It would make more sense if you could hold all grenade types at once, but even then not that useful.

Should just tap left on dpad to swap between multiple grenades if we can hold 4 types. worked fine in halo 3

Agreed.

Wouldn’t mind doing a left pad cycle left, right pad cycle right. I also don’t use that AI thing and I always drop weapon by accident so I’d rather map that to the down pad.

It’s really awful and sometimes I don’t what grenade I’m holding which is why I hate the HUD

interestingly, when we played with button mapping, it went back to tapping switch grenade for multiplayer. THANKFUL.
