Skyrim messing me up in MW3

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 11:24 am

So I've found after playing Skyrim and switching to MW3 I spend a lot of time trying to readjust. What I mean is that in Skyrim sprint is LB while in CoD to sprint you click the left joystick, whereas LB throws a non-lethal grenade. So my team is constantly angry with me for throwing flash bangs in their faces... :< Can you adjust the controls on the 360 to make sprint the left joystick? Most games just go with that standard nowadays (except Halo.). Anyway, just thought I'd share.

You can probably change the MW3 controls so sprint is LB. Not 100% sure though.

Why would I want to sprint with LB? That's so unnatural. CoD pretty much set the standard that sprint is tied to clicking the left joystick, almost every game does it that way so it feels as natural as walking. It's weird when games do something else because it's like going against an established standard. It's like if at the title menu it said 'Press X' instead of Press Start. Weird.

That's one reason why I dont play multiple games simultaneously. MW3 will be popular til the inevitable next one comes out in year. So I'm playing Skyrim now, then next year will pick up MW3 cheap, used, install to HDD and forget I even bought it used. I personally like "mastering" one game at a time.

I need my 'shooting things' fix along with my 'slaying things with swords fix' (in addition to my sports, racing and simulation fixes...lol I need a bit of everything going on at once...This is why it takes me months to finish games because I'm so ADD when it comes to games :P)

Easy fix, put MW3 in the bin and play Halo (3 for skills, Reach for casual BS until anniversary gives us 50s Halo back) ;)

I changed the button mapping on Skyrim so that "change viewpoint" is LB, "sprint" is L3, and "sneak" is R3.
