Halo Reach Controls are Going to Mess You Up

Have you ever intended to do a simple task, like switching grenade type, and instead accidentally vaulted yourself off a ledge with a jetpack? If you haven't, prepare to do it a few times while you get accustomed to the Halo Reach controls, which throw all of us for a loop by remapping some of our most used buttons.

As you can see from the diagram, the B button will no longer be your melee button, and will instead change grenades. Now, RB will melee. The reload button gets mapped over to 'X' since we no longer need to use the button to pick up equipment, which is replaced by Armor Abilities, now mapped to LB.

It seems a little counterintuitive having the "change grenades" button on the complete opposite side of the controller from "throw grenade", and using RB to melee is also going to take some getting used to. What are your thoughts?

i think that if they can get the bumper jumper default in i would still be ok with it

I think it will be better or equal to old controls

I agree they are messing up the controls completely.
they should stick with the old controls.

Like in the other halo's, they always had all sorts of button control options, therefor they will most likely have an option for "Halo 3" with armor abilities replacing equipment...I hope :(

I actually like the ew controls better melee would be easier with a bumper and using abilities like the jetpack would be easy to hold down with the bumpers.

Don't worry guys look at this - http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline10/042310/recon.jpg

This is one of the alternate control schemes and is almost exactly like Halo 3 except X is to switch grenades and LB is armor ability. No need to worry.

Bungie did a number on this "HALO REACH GAME" the guns and everything looks way different.
Not to mention they dont have the "MASTER CHEIF" anymore and that sucks.
They should make anothe halo game with MASTER CHEIF in it.
