This has been brought up many times before in the halo series (I just googled it) and I’m just trying to understand from 343’s point of view why they won’t give us a control scheme where we hold down the zoom and snap back out of zoom like many many shooters have done since the beginning of FPS.
Now this post can’t be as short as I would like because I must ensure I cover all bases unless I want the Halo community to crucify me. Firstly I understand this has always been the Halo way… LT zoom has never been allowed and I’ve had to deal with that every release. Secondly I understand not all games allow for control customization on any level so Bungie giving us control options is great but it’s kind of like giving someone a car without the steering wheel. Thirdly I know I will get used to it eventually and that zoom must be pressed multiple times on some guns. Fourthly I saw on a topic of this kind that COD had the LT zoom and so this should too… That belief doesn’t apply to me as I don’t like playing real war-esque shooters… So I’ve never played more than 30 mins of that game.
HOWEVER. I truly believe allowing for a controller set up much like Destiny will NOT be game breaking and put many FPS fans at ease. Whether it is implemented in a patch soon or the next Halo it is so important for me as a player to feel comfortable with the controls early on in the game and I just don’t understand why such an obvious option is always overlooked. I will happily pay for a dlc with the feature or for a mod.
Edit: turns out smart-link means zoom on the layout even though those layouts have zoom on different buttons on the diagram. Little confusing but we got there! Also I learnt Bungie doesn’t own Halo anymore… I’ve never read a Halo newsletter so I’d never have known if the tactful Halo community hadn’t pleasantly barked these facts to me. Thank you!!
Halo 5 was not made by Bungie
and use the fishstick layout. Seriously.

You talk as if Bungie still owns the franchise lol But in all seriousness the right stick click isn’t bad, just takes some getting used too
what do you mean with LT zoom?

After all this rant I hope you realize that there is a button layout that uses LT to smark link. This WHOLE post was literally pointless.
BTW, Bungie didn’t have anything to do with this game. 343i did.

Shows how old I’m getting if I’m not aware of Bungie leaving halo learn something new everyday. Also wasn’t aware smart-link and zoom were the same thing… I’ve got multiple layouts where smart link is LT but on those layouts “zoom” is on other buttons. But green thumb seems to be the best if smart-link means zoom.
Better work out out how to delete this post before I get attacked anymore! People on gaming forums are pure evil. It’s a scary place to ask a simple question.

You didn’t ask a simple question. You wrongly accused (tried to atleast) a dev company and there was no mistake on their part. It was YOUR incompetence to realize smart-link is zoom.
Just a quick update “green thumb” layout is HEAVEN. I’m glad I posted regardless!! Thank you thank you!

You go to the green thumb layout and you see where the word “zoom” is and tell me if it looks like zoom is LT. Yes I should have physically tested each one but my idea of English and seeing “zoom” somewhere other than LT lead me to believe there was no zoom mapped for LT. Can you see how that is misleading?? Of course you can’t.
Wait you can zoom with the weapons in this game?

Please don’t revive old posts, thanks.
