I’d like to make a (relatively) simple request to 343i, perhaps for when all the matchmaking issues have died down a bit. Can we get a little more optionality in the Controls?
All I ask is the possibility to have Crouch = hold LS AND Melee = RB. Right now, if I want Melee = RB, I have to live with Crouch = B, which is rather useless for actually, you know, crouching around (meanwhile, the LS click is nothing, so how hard would it be to make that Crouch?). And if I want Crouch on the LS, I have to live with Melee at B, which adds that millisecond delay when actually trying to melee someone.
This is minor, I know. The problem is that I was comfortable with Melee being B for CE, 2 and 3, but then got used to it being RB for Reach and 4 (and prefer it this way now, for obvious reasons). Crouch isn’t nearly as important in Reach and 4, so I didn’t care that it was in a useless place (B). But now that MCC is here, I can’t keep these damn controls straight from game to game.
How about some key binding or whatever it would be called on a controller. That way we wouldn’t have these issues. That’s assuming 343 would be competent with programming though, which they’ve shown that they obviously aren’t.
I’ve never understood why they created only a few universal controller schemes rather than letting us bind them any way we want. This was available in the first Killzone on PS2, but has never been available in a Halo title.
I started playing Halo with Halo 4, then went back and played the others. I like the Halo 4 Boxer layout, but the Halo 2 boxer has grenade on B, which completely breaks my muscle memory.

Crouch was LS on Reach (B was change grenades). They moved it to B when they wanted sprint + an armor ability, so sprint was moved to LS. So what you are asking for is essentially Halo: Reach controls. I’m not sure if this would be possible to make a universal scheme, as Halo 4 would have sprint in a weird spot. I second this motion, because I thought Reach had the best control scheme. I am used to Halo 4’s controls now, so I probably wouldn’t use it, but nonetheless, I thought it was a great scheme, and I think others would love having this option.
Custom key binding seems so obvious but given that they couldn’t even get their pre-programmed controls to work (legacy), I don’t have much hope for this.
