Every single halo game has had the same placement for the weapons. For some god forsaken reason they decided to change it. This is why I have little faith in this game. They have to change every minuet detail to try to change things.
343 are the kings of changing things that don’t need to be changed
There may be thousands of reasons why you have decided to make that small change. If you don’t convince the community in the future, you have an easy solution. I wouldn’t worry
I remember when they completely changed the button layout for forge in H5 compared to the others. I loved forge in the previous games, but it was so frustrating to constantly be messing up in H5 that I just never got into it. By comparison, weapon placement doesn’t seem like the biggest issue to me.
I’m just waiting to see how they rotated the melee/crouch/reload buttons in Infinite. Every Halo game cycles those three, so I’m always doing one thing when I mean to do another when I swap between the games.
Its because there is some decision maker at 343 that can’t grasp the little things the community likes and they keep changing little things to try to make a career move. However all it really does is poison a beloved franchise.
