Controls get a new look in Halo 3


Bungie's Frankie reports in their latest weekly update about a few new things players will see in Halo 3, including: a graphically enhanced Warthog (pimp it!); dumbed-down AI (wha?); and a new control scheme (oh boy).

Anyone who has spent the last five years playing either of the Halo games has the control setup permanently welded into their heads. In fact, scads of other games have specifically tried to emulate the Halo setup, so a change in controls is practically sacrilege, and sure to result in a fair number of fanboy seizures.

While it is highly doubtful that the scheme will have players pulling the right trigger to crouch, and pushing the left thumbstick to jump, doesn't Bungie know that we fear change?

Thankfully, they include the option to go back to the "classic" control scheme. Although at this point, they could release the game only in Chinese, require the massive Steel Battalion controller, and light it on fire -- and it would still sell a trillion copies.
