H2:Control schemes

This article is a stub. You can help Halopedia by expanding it. Reason: About the ↑ D-Pad use for Teamspeak, I don't think it does; if someone who plays Halo 2 on the original Xbox with the fan-made server Insignia and a mic, please test it.

The Halo 2 control scheme in the Halo 2 manual (Human version).

The following control schemes were available for the original release of Halo 2 for Xbox (including when played via Xbox 360 backward compatibility) and Halo 2 Vista. For the control schemes of the Anniversary remaster, see here.
