I wish there was an 'about-face' button

Doing a 180-degree turn to check behind me during the Crucible takes about one full second to do, with the controller analog. In that time, I usually die. I wish there was one button assigned to perform an 'about-face' spin to rectify this. I wish this were a common practice in all controller-based FPS games, but Bungie is a leader here. The only game in which I've found this feature is Left 4 Dead 2, on the PC with an Xbox 360 controller. Note: I've just tried turning up my look sensitivity to 10 (the maximum), so I'll see if this improves my issue in the Crucible at all.

  • Even 10 is too slow for me

  • 10 was the upper extreme, and way too sensitive. So I've been using 7 instead. I can now perform a turnaround in about 0.65 seconds. Longer than I'd like, but it seems to be the best compromise. I still liked the default of 3 for aiming straight ahead, since with 7 I overshoot my targets due to its sensitivity. I'd prefer to use 3 and have an 'about-face' button for quick back-checking.

    • It's been a few weeks using 10 as my sensitivity, and although it was hard, I think I've finally got it under control. I still slip up every once in a while, but if you stick with it, you CAN get used to it. My effectiveness in the Crucible has gone up, and I can react to back-attacks more quickly. That being said, I'd still like to try using an about-face spin in tandem with a lower sensitivity.

    • Adding this suggestion to my post, please keep it updated as I will be editing and compiling a community contributed list for developers of Bungie to read :)
