I am tempted to drop the money on one of these just to solve this exact issue.

I've been a bumper jumper fan since Halo 3. While no controller scheme has yet to be perfect, BJ's are the best. Destiny's BJ setup allow you to jump, aim, shoot, grenade toss, melee, and sprint all without taking your hands off the sticks. I also chose BJ, because the supers I prefer on my characters are spam supers. Titan smash/bubble, sunsinger's flaming dragon, and blade dancers fancy dance of death and doom. I dream of a better BJ control scheme, but what could it be. How can you really improve BJ? I guess that is the ultimate question.

I switched to Bumper Jumper in the early Halo 3 days and have never looked back. It makes maneuvering around enemies while attacking much easier.

I don't like learning new control schemes.

I will say, pulling a trigger to aim down sights is perhaps even more natural than clicking a stick to scope in Halo, though I wouldn't want to pull a trigger to aim in a game without ADS.

And a bumper for melee is easier to use than the b button.

I'm glad I can still crouch with a stick, and since now I sprint with a stick, there's a nice synergy with sliding.

I broke down. I caved in. Frustration became too great.

I switched to bumper jumper. Not because I wanted to. But because the lack of coexistence between jumping and aiming became too frustrating.

In the past, I would grit my teeth at this sort of nuisance. Halo CE was a big adjustment from previous shooters, but I slogged through that nightmare the first time I whiffed on a melee, and I learned to bash faces without being able to turn my head. When the 360 bumpers entered the equation, I adjusted again. Relearning controls was only a minor inconvenience; more buttons was sometimes welcome, depending on their orientation.

CE is the only Halo that I played with Default controls, and even in the MCC I still switched to the original settings. Every other Halo after that has been set to Boxer, because it just makes too much sense (even Halo 4, which delegated Sprint to B ultimately felt natural).

If Goldeneye taught me anything, it was that the default controls are never optimized. In many games I've played, full customization was essential to said optimization of controller-interface. Bumper Jumper is only a half step; crouching is important too, and I dislike that I will now have to remove my right opposable digit from its thumbstick if I'm to attempt a sick shotgun slide.

Im surprised that "Puppeteer" is not Destiny's default scheme. The simple switch between "inspect" and "crouch" is a game changer, IMO. Crouch with right click, Battlefield style.

I've bitten my tongue as long as I could. Damnit, men and women of Bungie. Give us real customization for our goddamn button layouts.

Great news! You can remap your entire control scheme button by button on the PS4!
... Assuming, you know...

Which is why I moved BACK to Default for Destiny. Jumping and shooting in Destiny is a real detriment in general. I guess you could gain some benefit while blink-shotgunning, but I wouldn't think it would be that much.

Hear, hear!
Also please get rid of the player highlight, I've used it maybe ten times in the whole time I've had the game, and it's so finicky I'd rather go through a menu anyway. Then something useful could be put in that spot and we could have supers not require two buttons or triggers at the same time-- I can't tell you how many times failing to press them close enough together has gotten me killed, not to mention wasted grenades (partly my fault, partly the controller's fault, but also partly Bungie's fault for even requiring it).

Ok, bumper jumper moving the super off of the shoulder buttons to X (A for xboxers) might just be a deal breaker for me. I have a hard enough time aiming my nova bomb, I don't need the added difficulty of aiming without a thumb on the stick!
