We eventually stumbled across the 'Custom Button Remapping Petition', founded by Chuck Bittner, or You must login or register to view this content.. Chuck Bittner is a quadriplegic gamer and stand-up comedian. Because of his disability, Chuck plays PlayStation 3 with his mouth and nose, but there are some games he cannot play due to controller limitations. For example, in the game Modern Warfare 2; the actions 'aim' and 'shoot' require the player to hold down L1/LT and R1/RT, but because of his style of playing, Chuck can only hold one down at a time. With 'Custom Button Remapping', Chuck would be able to reassign the shoot button from R1/RT to O/B, for example, which would allow him to hold down both buttons at the same time.
If you don't know already, 'Custom Button Remapping' is the ability to change assigned actions on a controller to any button a gamer chooses. You may have already seen on games such as Modern Warfare 2; 'tactical' and 'default' button layouts, 'Button Remapping' would give you the ability to select the controls button-by-button.
'Custom Button Remapping' not only allows disabled gamers to play games, but it will give gamers world-wide the ability to choose the controls they desire. This will only enhance the gaming experience.

I'VE GOT JUNGLE FEVER
I signed it long ago, also have contacted him on how I could change the button configs on cod but he didn't want to do any of it that way which I can understand.
Sadly though I can see this never happening, even though its such a simple process to implement, and one reason why I think is because developers like to set how a game is meant to be played and in-turn making all players equal, if you can understand that.
