Maybe for default, but Boxer and Bumper Jumper are the exact same I believe.
I didn't even get a chance to play last night but hopefully I will tonight. I added a couple of people from AT so I'm looking forward to playing with you guys.
As far as single player, is the hardest difficulty unlocked at the beginning? I think I'm going to go straight to the hardest setting.
I just got done playing Halo 3. The controls on reach are different; lol, the first lvl was annoying, I was trying to melee grunts, and couldn't figure out where the melee button was. I'm using the recon config now. They moved the melee, and the reload/action buttons.
yes this is very annoying. i kept getting killed online due to the new controls. i kept pressing B to melee for the kill but would change grenades, and i'd die. then i started wanting to press the left thumbstick in like in cod games, and that just zoomed me in resulting me in dying.
.
Beat the campaign and it was awesome. Makes me sad this is the last from Bungie.
We knew the controls were gonna have to change drastically with the addition of a exclusive heavily used action button(power ups) . I was bumper jumper in H3 and now I'm using recon. I keep using power up when I want to jump and reload when i want to melee. I'll have to do a few custom games with melee only to really get the braining finger muscle memory ingrained.
on what difficulty and what was your play time.

eh halo 3 had powerups as well dude, and i believe it was one of the bumpers that were used for those as well. RB if I remember correctly. pretty sure LB was for the grenade type selecting.
The X button was used for power-ups in Halo 3 I believe.
ah good call, it's been years since i played halo 3 so my memory be behind me.
the one that bothered me the most was RB being melee. i just don't understand the logic behind taking it off a face button by default and replacing that face button with a button that changes grenade types, that won't be used nearly as often and not as frantically either.
the face buttons are much easier to access than the bumpers.
i'm a software engineer, and from a design point of view, i just don't see any reason in it. i'd like to ask bungie about the reasoning behind this heh.
I think it may be because if it was B again, you cannot turn and melee at the same time, since both actions require your right thumb.
Remember that Halo 3 also had dual wielding which is no more. The RB/LB buttons were used to pick up weapons and reload also. When you weren't dual wielding, LB was used to change grenades.
I use Recon setup btw. Kind of awkward not being able to switch grenades though.

Argh... Too many games too little time. I wasn't even interested in this but now I want it.
I was not going to buy this right now either, but I made the mistake of going to Fry's yesterday, and it was on sale for $45. I could not resist, but I have too much other stuff to do right now .
good luck jet packing and shooting with bumper jumper.
