I've been playing both COD4 and COD:WAW for 90% of my xbox time, and I simply can't get used to any other FPS control scheme. Zooming with the right stick and throwing grenades with LT just seems so unnatural. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, do any other games use a similar control scheme to COD? (Left trigger zooms)

I wouldn't say perfect but it is really great. I don't have trouble with any shooting games controls though. I get used to them really fast and to tell you the truth barely even think about it.

It just seems so fluid and natural. I can't believe the number of times I've died when trying to zoom in with LT and instead chucking a grenade at a wall. (Halo 3)

I never had that problem with either game.

Infinity Ward did a great job on the controls. Hands down my favorite controls for a FPS games on consoles.

I don't think that the controls are weird but you will get used to them

It's more of what you are used to. I play Halo most of the time, and when I first played COD, I had trouble, but now I can switch on and off any time I wish. It's what you are used to

That's why. It's what your most used to and it's second nature to you now.

I will agree, the CoD control scheme works extremely well......for CoD. Other FPS's have different elements to them, so they need different control schemes. I'll use Halo 3 as an example because it has been brought up already. X isn't reload in that game cause they need that button for the equipment. And because the have 3 types of grenades instead of 2, they can't use 2 buttons for grenades because it would be unwieldy.

You can get used to most game's controls, it just takes some time.
