All 343 has to do is reverse the melee and crouch buttons on the default control scheme and It could serve as a really good Recon layout.
I also have a question and that is that how can you switch grenade type using d-pad and select ordnance at the same time?
This is how it will look like:
LT-Throw grenade
RT-Shoot
LB-Armor ability
RB-Crouch
LS-Move/Sprint
RS-Aim/Zoom
A-Jump
X-Reload/Action
Y-Switch weapons
B-Melee
Thanks for HurricaneX guy for providing this 
Yeah. New recon sucks.
First of all, remember ordinance is only in Infinity Slayer (As far as I know) and Im pretty sure ordnance was on the button or top arrows of the d pad while it looked like the grenades were on the left and right.
> Yeah. New recon sucks.
OP never said it sucks…
Never used it but it sucks that u guys feel that way =/
Is X still sprint? Because I don’t get that.

Omg you blew my mind. That would be my hands down favorite control scheme. You can sprint, crouch, and use AA’s WHILE aiming :0!! I want this or custom button mapping. Either way without this we have to give up some certain mechanic.
Edit: You should enter this into OP.
LT-Throw grenade
RT-Shoot
LB-Armor ability
RB-Crouch
LS-Move/Sprint
RS-Aim/Zoom
A-Jump
X-Reload/Action
Y-Switch weapons
B-Melee

X is sprint on the current recon layout. But for the default layout it is left thumbstick clicked. I think the latter would work well in recon including the changes I made above.

No, I did. Problem?
If Sprint on X is the problem… Why change the entire Layout, the rest is fine.
Some people seem to be upset with the fact that Sprint is mapped to X which is appearently weird…

It is weird. I like the OP solution.

I don’t find it weird, I personally really like the Recon Layout so far.
But if you find it weird, ok I respect that.
I think it will be fine, but lets not make any conclusions with out actually playing the game for all we know it could work a lot better then you all think.
I’m not too concerned, you only have to tap X to run like everyone else said. I’ve played a lot of shooters (and games in general) and they always have different control schemes. Now I understand Halo is a bit different but I liked the change from reload being X to RB, and I think given that there’s a whole new default ability (Sprint) they had to sacrifice something.
Basically, just give it a chance, we can adapt and we will.

My solution would also make the layout more like the original Halo 3 layout. Crouching isn’t used as often as meleeing so it wouldn’t be much of a problem if they switched positions. As for changing the entire layout, I believe the default layout should be the premise on which the Recon layout is based on.
