Control schemes
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The various Halo games come with a large variety of control schemes for the various input methods available for the games (traditionally some form of Xbox controller).
Stick layouts[edit]
All Halo games save for the Halo Wars titles feature the same four stick layouts.
Default[edit]
Left Stick - Move Forward/Backward | Strafe Left/Right
Right Stick - Look Up/Down | Rotate Left/Right
Southpaw[edit]
"For Lefties"
Left Stick - Look Up/Down | Rotate Left/Right
Right Stick - Move Forward/Backward | Strafe Left/Right
Legacy[edit]
"An older way of doing things."
Left Stick - Move Forward/Backward | Rotate Left/Right
Right Stick - Look Up/Down | Strafe Left/Right
Legacy Southpaw[edit]

General[edit]
Alert carry[edit]
- Main article: Alert carry
Alert carry is a feature introduced in Halo 2 for machinima purposes. The feature can be accessed by pressing "down" on the D-pad (Halo 2 only) or using a combination of buttons (Halo 3 and subsequent games).
Control schemes by game[edit]
See the below pages for more specific information on per-game control schemes.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection[edit]
 |
It has been suggested that this page be split into multiple pages. Please see the talk page for more details. |
- Main article: Halo: The Master Chief Collection
The Master Chief Collection features new input actions, new control settings and supported keyboard & mouse for all six games.
New input actions such as "Select Previous Grenades" for Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, "Zoom In" for keyboard & mouse, and more; MCC also features modded input actions (the texts that are highlighted are an exclusive modded map).
Controller[edit]
MCC had rebindable button maps for the controller. The following represents the default controls, which are viewed below:

Keyboard and Mouse[edit]
Default keyboard and mouse controls for all six games; this also included the key binding information of the configuration file.
The configuration file information.
The file name is "GameUserSettings.ini" and the file is located:
| Microsoft Store | C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\ |
| Steam | C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\MCC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ |
In the file, the main keyboard and mouse bindings for six games are…

The Xs mean they aren't in-game settings, but they're in the configuration file; almost all of the Xs don't do anything in any built-in map.

Green
These green numbers are the only things that can be edited in the file; they are "decimal values", which are key and mouse button codes instead of their names; here is the list of key and mouse button number code details.
Editing the configuration file is an alternate way to change bindings in-game settings, but the configuration file isn't user-friendly; it can still be edited with a text editor application.
Just make sure you don't save while MCC is running.
Magenta
In the settings menu, MCC only supports secondary key binding; apparently, in the configuration file, there are more than two key bindings (Five Key Bindings). However, these extra key bindings are lacking for the reason shown below:
| Game | Primary Key Binding VirtualKeyCodes[0]= |
Secondary Key Binding VirtualKeyCodes[1]= |
Tertiary Key Binding VirtualKeyCodes[2]= |
Quaternary Key Binding VirtualKeyCodes[3]= |
Quinary Key Binding VirtualKeyCodes[4]= |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Halo: Reach | Yes | No | |||
| Halo: Combat Evolved | Yes | Secondary, tertiary, quaternary, or quinary key bindings—therefore, it's like the game supports secondary key binding. | |||
| Halo 2 (Classic) | Yes | ||||
| Halo 2: Anniversary Multiplayer | Yes | No | |||
| Halo 3 | Yes | No | |||
| Halo 3: ODST | Yes | No | |||
