Why you should use Bumper Jumper controls.

Alright,there has been alot of talk about using bumper jumper versus default(or others).

You ask,"What is bumper jumper?"
And."How do I change my controls?"

Bumper Jumper is a control setting in Halo 3.To jump is normally "A" and melee is "B".But with BJ(Bumper Jumper),left bumper is jump and right bumper is melee.You can change your controls by hitting start>Game Controls>Button Layout>Move left or right until you find Bumper Jumper.

The benifit is when you are using a BR and want to jump much more but still be able to aim.Usually,with default settings,you use your thumb for RS(Right-Stick you use to aim)and also for jumping with "A".If you want to jump you have to quickly stop aiming and use your thumb to jump but if the enemy moves you can't aim.We're talking about mere seconds(and mili seconds)here but that usually causes you to lose BR battles.

Switching to BJ(bumper jumper),you can use your finger(on your left hand)to jump and using your thumb(right hand)to jump so you can do both at the same time.

I actually tried it because i was tired of being out bred(even though i can have a very steady br).Personally,I've seen an improvement(this,of course,does not make you better if you are not good at halo 3).I can jump alot more making it harder to be hit.

Now,this doesn't work for everybody because some people juse can't switch because they can't get used to it or it would just take a long time to get used to they don't want to mess their record over.

My advice:Atleast try it for a while and play Campagin on Easy or Normal and play as many missions as you can.Play Social Slayer alot and,if you can,make another account(assuming you haven't run out of free accounts yet)and play Social Slayer on there so you'll be playing kids that aren't as good.Or just go into custom game by yourself and jump around alot,shoot,and reload tons.

I learned just by playing campagin and by going into a custom by myself just shooting and reloading and jumping around tons.

So,yes there are alot of pros and cons,but I've basically shown the pros and cons.

Again........

Pros:

1:Allows you to jump around more.
2:Makes you harder to hit.

Cons:

1:Can be hard(or even impossible)to get used to.

So,just go out and try it and see if it improves your game at all.If it doesn't,you can always revert to default controls.One word of advice:It never hurts to try.
