Destiny controller layout suggestion

Hey all, recently, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ky4qfKYpbY]Destiny's controller layout for the PS4[/url] was revealed and i had mixed feelings when i saw it. I really like the addition of the ability to slide and the warlock having a special ability to hover, and the controls for these are easy to learn as they are context specific. I also like how they gave us a special ability for each class that can be used by a button combo, instead of dedicating a new button to it. I also reaally like how we get to hold 3 weapons this time, and how easy it will be to switch between them (just focus on your two standards and hold for your heavy). Really creative and intuitive use of buttons here! However, I dislike multiple things as well. The first is aiming down sights. I don't really support this way of combat, and I liked Halo's way of zooming better... What's more is that it takes up an important button, that can otherwise be used for grenades or jumping so that we can have our thumbs on the sticks when doing these things that require aiming. I also dislike sprint being on LS click... So what I am suggesting is that we receive an option to have aiming down sights set as toggle, much like zooming worked in Halo. (Or just return to Bungie Halo's zoom - descope system, that'd be great). That way it can move to the right stick, opening up a spot for the triggers for jumping/hovering. What's more is that you don't even need to do the combo to perform the nova bomb. By doing this, we can have a more competitive controller layout that does not require you to claw when you want to jump and aim at the same time. Halo 4's bumper jumper layout would work perfectly in Destiny. For the Xbox: LT: Solar Flare (warlock) / Grenade LB: jump / hover (warlock, in mid-air) RT: shoot RB: melee X: Nova Bomb / Other class specific ability Y: switch weapon / hold: heavy B: reload / activate (?) A: Sprint LS: movement / click: crouch (Gandhi hopping please?) / during sprint: slide RS: Aim / click: Aim down sights (toggle!) D-pad: emotes Another alternative could be to start from the default layout, and move melee to the right stick and replace RT with jumping. And move the nova bomb to A. I want to say this very early on so that Bungie can still take this into consideration in their development process. Please include as many logical controller layouts as possible or even allow us to customise our own. And I would seriously melt if you also gave us the option to choose between Halo's zoom and Aiming down sights in the options. What do you guys think?
