Gunslinger529's Notes

This is a more standard layout for those who are used to playing Halo on console (like me). Remember to un-invert dual wielding in-game so the alignment is correct. I played around with having zoom on R3 like it is on Xbox but the way the game handles getting into vehicles, using boost, firing dual wield etc. just works better and feels more natural with it on left trigger.

For Halo 4 I recommend switching the sprint and armor ability keybinds in game, as double tapping S,S introduces a slight delay. I prefer to be able to use my armor abilities more immediately. I also mapped E to Left because Halo 4 has QTEs that require mashing E, which is not possible with W.

How to Use this Config

Using JoyShockMapper configurations is easy once you know how. If you haven't used it before, check out the guide. For using a community config like this one, you only need to get through the first two sections — Installing JSM and Using an already-made configuration file.

Just copy the above configuration into a text file, change the IN_GAME_SENS to match your in-game settings, and then drag that file into JoyShockMapper and hit Enter to use it right away. Some games have their own limitations with certain controllers or require some extra setup, so make sure to check for any notes near top of the main Halo: The Master Chief Collection page.
