Halo: Combat Evolved/Controls

Here is the complete set of Controls for the Halo: Combat Evolved video game.

Left Thumbstick - Used to maneuver your character around the level. Use up and down to move your character forward and backward, respectively. Pressing left and right will strafe your character left and right. Push the thumbstick in to crouch.

D-Pad - Functions the same as the Left Thumbstick, only you can't crouch.

Back Button - The Back button has no function in Halo.

Start Button - Pauses the game during gameplay and brings up the Pause Menu.

Right Thumbstick - Use to turn your character left and right. Press the button in to zoom 2x and once more to 8x(?). Press it once more to return to normal. Some weapons do not have the zoom function.

Left Trigger - Use to throw an equipped grenade. Use the Right Thumbstick to change trajectory

Right Thumbstick - Fire your equipped weapon.

A Button - Just your average jump button. Run before jumping to go a farther distance. At the height of your jump, press crouch to make your character lift his feet up, allowing you to get up onto higher places.

B Button - Press the B button to initiate a melee attack. If you are low or out of ammo, use this to kill grunts and jackals with one hit. Elites take a couple more melee attacks to fall while Hunters need to suffer about 50 before they succumb to death.

X Button - Your action button. Use to enter/exit vehicles, open doors, etc. It reloads your weapon. It also allows you to pick up or switch weapons.

Y Button - Switches weapons. Nothing more to it.

White button - Turns your Flashlight on/off. Turn your flashlight off the recharge it.

Black Button - Switches your equipped grenades. There are only two types of grenades: Plasma and Frag. You can only hold four at a time.
