Halo 4’s Recon button layout would be perfect for me if they just switched LB and X. What do you guys think?
I haven’t seen Halo 4’s Recon control scheme.
I remember for Reach I used the Recon scheme because it was the most like Halo 3’s default. Is it like Reach’s? Because I’m using whatever scheme is most like Halo 3’s and I still like it.
It’s about the same as Halo Reach’s Recon layout, but the difference is you can’t have Sprint and AA on the same button LB, so they have Sprint on X and AA on LB, and I think I’d like Sprint on LB and AA on X.
Probably best would be the same as Reach’s recon except AA on LB.
Sprint on Left Stick. Crouch on X. Right? It’d be a little confusing to have crouch there at first but I’d get used to it. Ya know after fighting years of habit. lol. But I don’t know Sprint would be odd on X so would AAs. Crouch would end up working you could still crouch jump that way… you’d have to be fast though haha. But you’d get used to it.

I found this for you. Most people want ‘x’ and ‘LB’ switched around including myself.
i agree if x and lb were switched that’s the control scheme i would use.

Have ANY of us seen the control scheme? Unless you played at E3…I Think Not!

Yes, we have seen the control scheme. . . That’s why we want LB and X button function switched for the Recon lay out.
I agree, It is now engrained in my head to sprint with LB lol. I think putting the AA usage on X would make more sense, because it will most likely not be used as often as sprint. Although, It’s still very similar to Reach’s Recon layout, so I don’t think it would be TOO hard to get used to, and use comfortably.
I play bumper jumper in Halo 3, and have used it in reach. I choose my armor ability often based on ease of use. IE, No jetback in reach, because you can’t Jet and aim at the same time.
For Halo 4, the BumperJumper Scheme has X as grenade and L as use AA. I personally won’t be able to stand this as I am not constantly using my AA.Because I prefer to focus on the more traditional parts of the Halo gameplay, rather than ease of use of AAs, I would very much like to see a scheme with X and L swapped. If not, my playstyle (as well as others possibly), may suffer. As of right now, I don’t see the AA that I think I will use the most yet.
The worst part, with Sprint as always available, it is impossible to fit all the important action buttons in places that are easily useable. You need shoot, jump, grenade and melee all on the shoulders and triggers(for me at least). This leaves sprint and AA’s to be mapped. I would be incredibly frustrated with either on the Sticks. Zoom is a must on the right stick for me. I strongly prefer crouch on the left stick.
What I feel is set in stone for me:
L- Grenade
R- Shoot
LB- Jump
RB- Melee
The other options I could manage with either
A)Crouch on left stick, B for reload, X for AA, A for sprint.
B) Sprint on left stick, B for reload, Toggled Crouch on X, A for AA.
Because of how I prefer to use traditional bumper jumper for “important” controls, I would HIGHLY suggest 343 puts the option to toggle armour abilities. This seems absolutely crucial for people who prefer alternate control schemes. Please don’t make us have to hold down a button for promethean vision, rather give the toggling ability of 2 quick taps. This will allow aiming during usuage of AA’s.
I can see why using recon would be a bit awkward… But it still beats bumper jumper X for grenades is a joke

NO ,absolutely not, did you forget how annoying and hard it will be to be using a armor ability like jetpack or hardlight shield which you need to hold the button, it would be hard to look around while holding the X button so it should stay like it is so far.
Yes 100 percent in agreement with you.

I’m guessing you had the capability to attend E3???

He speaks the truth. Recon in its current form seems ideal… To me at least

Me too, please 343 Industries, make it happen, switch sprint to “LB” and AA to “X” in the Layout “Recon”

To be honest I won’t be using any AA other than Promethean Vision and Thruster Pack which I will hardly use anyways, so sprint for LB is ideal for me and apparently many others.
Agreed 343 please
I just knew that would screw up my favourite layout. Please switch LB and X. People will be using sprint more than their AA and sprint is directional while only some AA’s are.
Either that or we could switch RB with X then RB with LB. That would give us X for actions, LB for sprint and RB for the AA.
Recon better be like halo 3 controls or all my mlg skills from recon is GONE
