Re: What button layout do you all use?

Bumper Jumper is the only way to fly. It's the only option which has the jump button somewhere other than A.

The beneift it gives of being able to aim while jumping (especially in SWAT) is huge. It can be a little slower to melee but you get used to it.

I changed to this after about 2000 games using default so you can change. Also SWAT is a good playlist to get use to Bumper Jumper as there isn't much weapon swapping / meleeing.

Re: What button layout do you all use?

And yea, EEC didst spake the truth "Bumper Jumper," sayed he, and lo, there was much rejoicing.

Bumper Jumper is the only way to go, for exactly those reasons. With a bit of practice, it's also easier to get jumping assassinations by flying over the head of an opponent, although I'm still not very good at that.

Taxi for KH4LSA!

But seriosuly, yeah - it's whatever you're most comfortable with, obviously. Bumper Jumper is generally regarded as the most versatile layout, though. Itz w0t t3h pr0z us3

Re: What button layout do you all use?

Default baby, inverted Y-axis and default sensitivity

I may well devote the next week to social + bumper jumper, I'll see how it goes. After 3000 odd games it'll probably take me ages!

Re: What button layout do you all use?

I played about 2500 games on default and managed to change. Now default feels wierd. It's not the jumping that's the problem, it's when you try and melee someone and you reload your wepaon

Inverted Y-axis is just plain wrong though. Like kissing your sister.

I really hope you're kidding with that bit Sordid That's a level of wrongness that words can't even describe. That's like having one's sensitivity set to 7 *cough* Spratster *cough*

Yep, I played Green Thumb for ages, and Bumper Jumper felt weird for about a few days......but then when it happened, it just feels right. Never having to take your aim from the enemy is surely ftw!! Get it done Sordid

Kidding? No way! What kind of world do we live in when pushing up makes you look up? Inverted feels natural, I use it in every game I play

I'm going to give bumper a go now that everyone seems to be using it and saying it's better, I doubt I'll be playing ranked or gamebattles for a wee while though!

Up is down baby.

Think of the stick being on the back of your head - push it forward = up on the stick = look donw, pull it back = down on the stick = look up.

Exactly. Who leans forward to look up, or leans back to look down? That's wrongness.

Become the game. Become the Chief.
