Key binding is the act of assigning keys or buttons to various controls, rather than using the default layout. In many Battlefield games, the player can change key bindings in the main menu.
PC
Edit
Battlefield 3Edit
With the Battlelog system in place, the player cannot currently change controls unless they are in an active server.
Functions are now limited to one key, one mouse control, and/or one joystick/gamepad control. (Players who have installed third-party input software may be able to sidestep this constraint.)
However, a single input can be mapped to multiple functions. For example, the Sprint and Scope stabilization (hold breath) functions are both mapped to a PC player's Shift key. Certain abilities (e.g. crouching) have alternative inputs such as single-press, combo with a similar function (press for one function, hold for a second function), or toggled control.
Default Keyboard Layout
ConsolesEdit
Controls are not bindable on console versions of the Battlefield series. Instead, the player can choose between preset control layouts, usually consisting of a default layout along with alternate layouts containing different control schemes from the default layout. There are differing layouts for soldier, vehicle, and air vehicle buttons; as well as soldier and vehicle sticks, which govern movement like turning and strafing. Choosing a control layout depends on personal preference.
Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield: Bad CompanyEdit
The default soldier button layout for these games are as follows:
LT: Aim
RT: Fire
Y: Melee
B: Enter/Exit Vehicles
A: Jump
X: Reload
Hold LS: Sprint
Press RS: Crouch
LB: Grenades
RB: Switch Weapon
Start: Pause
Back: Spot (Hold for Scoreboard)
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3Edit
The default button layout for these games are slightly altered from previous games. The action for these buttons will be listed as on on foot buttons, land vehicle buttons. Buttons that serve the same function for both on foot and in vehicle will not be repeated but only listed one time.
LT: Aim, Break/Reverse
RT: Fire, Accelerate
Y: Switch Weapon
B: Interact/Enter Vehicle, Exit Vehicle
A: Jump/Mantle, Switch Seat
X: Reload
LS: Sprint, Boost
RS: Crouch (BF3 Hold for Prone), Third-person view
LB: Grenades, Main Gun
RB: Melee, Flares
Start: Pause
Back: Spot (Hold for Scoreboard)
Battlefield 4Edit
The default controls of this Battlefield installment are one again revised from previous iterations. One noted change is that the player now spots with RB. This allows spotting to be done easily while still moving or aiming as the player doesn't need to remove their thumb from a joystick to hit the Back button like in previous games. Vehicles are also considerably different; however, an alternate control layout allows for vehicles to be handled like previous games.
LT: Aim
RT: Fire
Y: Switch Weapon/(hold) Pick up item
B: Crouch/(hold) Prone
A: Jump/Mantle
X: Reload/(hold) Enter Vehicle
LS: Sprint
RS: Melee
LB: Grenade
RB: Spot/(hold) Commo Rose
Start: Pause/(hold) Scoreboard
Back: Battlelog
