[games_access] eeping Southpaw, Legacy and Customizable Game Controls Alive ?

[d. michelle hinn]

An example is when I worked on Halo, they were 
not going to include the controls that people 
were used to from older first person shooters 
(like GoldenEye) until we could gather enough 
evidence to convince the team that they needed to 
include it whether they liked it or not. So they 
have both the "legacy" and their own control 
scheme, although most people I know immediately 
go to "legacy" controls in the controller set up. 
Basically the Halo scheme was completely backward 
from what the "legacy" FPS games where like so 
they compromised by giving people the choice.
