What is the argument against having fully customizable control schemes? None of the control schemes works 100% for me and perusing the forums, it seems this applies to many other people as well. The only argument I have heard is that this could lead to people finding exploits in the configurations but that seems like a weak and lazy argument to me. I could get a Scuff controller, but those are cost prohibitive and i’m not about to spend twice as much money on a single xbox controller when I also need to buy groceries and gas…
The setup could be simple. Make it the same system as Borderlands. Pick the control scheme that work best, then you can swap 2 buttons at a time until you get what you want. This would also give us the option to move some functions to the D-Pad. The XBone D-pad is actually decent so I wouldn’t mind using it to switch grenades or even swap weapons. The more i can keep my thumbs on the sticks the better and i think most people would agree with that.
I like to use the OG Halo 2 default controller setting because that’s what I grew up on. It really annoys me that they do not have an equivalent of this setup in halo 3. I most play h2, but I have friends who really enjoy h3 as well, so we end up searching in the Team Slayer playlist a lot. It just sucks how I basically have to re-familiarize myself with a different button layout every time we switch games. Particularly the melee button switch gets frustrating. Almost ruins the playlist for me. I’m going to have to change my h2 controller setting to universal reclaimer (or whatever it is) I guess…
I agree! I have played boxer and bumper jumper but they just don’t translate across games the way i want. It doesn’t seem like they priorotize the most important functions to the bumbers. In H3, reload shouldn’t be on a bumber. its really not that important and every time i hit X to reload and i throw out some equipment instead, i cry a little bit. One tear at a time.
I’ll have to look at Universal Reclaimer, but if i remember it seemed to have the same problems.
