Hey I’d like them to make Recon layout the default one, please swap them.
However you should swap Sprint to RB. Instead of being X.
X can be Reload as is traditional for Halo.
I have played Halo from the beginning, I hate how they’re changing the controls so much that it feels like I’m not playing Halo anymore.
Keep the controls the same and as much like Halo CE+Halo 2 as possible.
Also the left stick as Sprint is horrible, way to ‘attract’ CoD players to Halo. If sprint is in Halo, make it feel different. Having it as a different button to other FPS’s can do just that. From what I can tell, it seems the controls are more like CoD’s than traditional Halo.
For those that say why it matters if it’s default;
It does matter. If new gamers and casual gamers come in, they’ll use the default one. It’s important we give them the traditional Halo experience, especially in the feel. If not, they won’t see what is special about Halo. Sprint as Left Stick for eg…Just so wrong for Halo.
As much as I don’t like the look of the default layout, I don’t think it really matters what it is as long as they have a layout I like. With that said, I have no idea why they don’t just let us map our own layout, they seem to want customization on everything else anyway.

You do realise you can just swap your controls to a different scheme right? You don’t have to use the default one. The default one is the way it is because maybe those are the best controls for the game, or the best for the majority of people. I know I’ll be using default. I can see why you’d like to have a more familiar control scheme for the default but the fact is is that it’s a new game and the controls are different. The default controls need to be different to incorporate the new abilities and gameplay.

You press down on the Left Stick for sprint, not left bumper. Also, it feels more natural to have it on the stick, as you can press it in while you’re moving forwards. They shouldn’t change it just because people think they’re copying.

That’s what I meant, the Left Stick.
And I can tell you know nothing for Halo. Probably started at 3 or Reach I’m guessing…
Im sorry but I just don’t how its a big deal to just change the controller to reacon 've done it with reach it can happen with this game to.when you start the game. I mean we’ve done it for reqach back then, it can’t be hard with the other one.
I want my Halo 1,2,3 controls. I’m sorry but i loved that control scheme more than anything. It would just feel weird to hit x to sprint. So maybe change that with RB?
I’m happy with Recon, the only thing I have wrong with it is ‘x’ is to sprint and ‘lb’ is the armour ability, I want them to swap these two controls. Perhaps just make it so you can customise the whole layout of the controller.
