The alternative button layout gives players the tactical ability to crouch, slide, and sprint while keeping their thumbs on the control sticks. Many players use this, in fact it has been featured in popular games including Halo and Call of Duty.

In Crysis 2 however, the alternative button layout shoots you in the foot, so to speak. When you are using the sniper class and want to zoom in while targetting in the scope, you end up crouching at the same time.

There are so many other buttons NOT in use while looking through the scope, why did the developers choose to stick the zoom toggle switch on a button that would make you bob up and down like a duck while you are trying to stealthily snipe someone.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

I hope for a patch update on the player controls soon. Otherwise the alternative button layout is obsolete.

Noticed this today, although I don't snipe often so it doesn't bother me too much.
