Boxer

Boxer is a controller setting in Halo 2. This button layout offers to switch the position of the melee feature from the "B" button to the left trigger, enabling a player to melee at will while still leaving the right thumb on the joystick.

ADVANTAGES The position of the button allows the player to melee during combat while still permitting the turning action. This proves effective in mid-jump battles where it is easy to be assassinated if the back is exposed due to lack of maneuverability.

DISADVANTAGES The main problem and drawback this setting poses and exemplifies is that it delays the player from meleeing and beating down an opposing player immediately after dual-wielding weapons are dropped. Another issue is that since the grenade button is set to "B", it does not allow the player to aim grenade throws as fluidly or accurately.
