Click L to zoom. At least in halo you don't have to zoom nearly as often as, say killzone 2

I find COD 4's control very natural. Maybe its because I'm used to it but I really like it.

CoD has the best shooter controls. I like Halo's, but I hate using the B button to zoom. I use Green Thumb set-up because in general I melee a lot, and I like reload on RB. But CoD has some of the best controls ever, IMO.

COD4's control scheme was really good and I also like Uncharted 2's multiplayer controls. Very simplistic.

You zoom in by clicking the analog stick (right one I think) in Uncharted, not the shoulder button.

But I do prefer using the should button to zoom in.

Left trigger is much quicker and easier to aim and shoot.

The left trigger for me + right trigger to shoot is perfect. I had to change it in KZ2 as it annoyed me. But we all know RMB to zoom is best :D

I can use the defaults for any game but the B button for melee always feels a little akward

Yea, it on the right stick. My mistake, it's been a while since I played Uncharted.

Yeah, because you can't turn and melee that way, L trigger i.e. COD allows you to aim when transitioning to the sights and when melee attacking (knifing) I don't mind right click in slower games like Rainbow Six, because you just pop out of cover and maybe headshot some dude using the thermal vision.

It's okay

You got confused since you aim with the L1, not zoom in.

If I ever made a first person shooter, I'd map it to the start button just for lulz, and then not tell the player about it so they'd use every button on the controller first, and then out of frustration hit start to try to found the control menu and it would finally happen.

Analog click or left trigger. I like both equally well.
