An official image of the
Halo 3: ODST control scheme on Xbox 360.
The following control schemes are available in Halo 3: ODST for Xbox 360. The controls in Halo 3: ODST are largely the same as in Halo 3, except the ↑/↓ D-Pad views waypoints, VISR Mode instead of a flashlight, VISR Database instead of Halo 3's scoreboard menu, equipments aren't usable, and dual-wielding is not possible. For the control schemes of the remaster included in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, see here.
