PC users: Button Configuration yes or no? : Othor Games

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:25 am

I personaly think that being able to change what button does what in a game is very helpful.

Especially if you are comfortable with certian keys for your type of playing style.

Thats a big yes from me. I usually change a few buttons on every game i play so i can do everything faster and more comfortable.

Ofcourse it has to be in. Try to play a game with WASD-controls on an AZERTY keyboard.
I hope configmaking will be easy, with autoexec.cfg and stuff.

Big yes from me some PC games without key config are really annoying especially if the default keys are terrible. :brokencomputer:

Name one newer PC fps that button config wasn't in.

Requirement for PC

not on console so long as the design is intelligent

having a poll asking if PC should have configurable controls, is like having a poll asking if PC should have mouse and keyboard support.

To be honest, I can't possibly fathom why you would ever want to use a keyboard on a computer, it's just madness.
Madness I tell ya.

Or having a poll asking if an xbox needs a controller. Lol
Great joke btw ^^

No, PC users, despite having an exceedingly large array of keys to configure, should be locked and forced to play with one single, preferably unintuitive control layout. Its the only logical way after all, to keep things balanced. Cant have people going off and making "more efficient" control schemes...

I hope you were being sarcastic.
If I had to play FPS the way my friends do, I would get obliterated. And fixed control schemes won't work because there's something like an AZERTY keyboard.

He was obviously being sarcastic.....

He said it in a convincing way. Ah wonderfull, the restrictions of typing, instead of speaking face to face...

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 10:37 pm

"Preferably unintuitive"

that just oozes sarcasm

You might want to try looking at this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY

Try using WASD on that. :brokencomputer:

I know that some causal gamers don't care, but please PLEASE allow me to use esdf instead of wasd(w=e a=s s=d d=f) the benefits include more local keys around your main movement hand for fast use-key use and you're not scrunched up on the left side of the keyboard, its much better, and its a pc game, this stuff is standard.

I really excelled at using the arrow keys for movements and using a trackball. I had a rather unorthodox setup.

For RTCW and ET:

mouse 1 = shoot
mouse 2 = use\activate
Arrow keys = movement
Enter = sprint
Shift = crouch
Ctrl = jump
/ and \ = previous/next weapon
numpad 0 = reload
numpad 1 = alt fire (zoom)
delete = prone
numpad 2, 3, 5 = class abilities\tools
End = binoculars

I played that way for years. I have started using WASD for a couple years now, but I still am not completely comfortable with it.

why would anyone say no? lol

Hahaha. I agree completely.

My configuration requires that the right mouse button is be permitted to be assigned to forward movement. I have come across a couple games that don't permit this. Needless to say those games get dusted quick. Brink looks super kick-ass and I am looking forward to giving it a good going over when it is released; But like I said if the control assignments don't permit the mouse to be assigned to them then it will loose me even before I load the first map.

Can a moderator or lurking developer clarify if the mouse will be included in the control assignments?

Thanks

I myself think that PC should definitely have keymapping support but I think consoles should have it too. I have never seen why they can't have it. I mean wouldn't it be easier to map a console's buttons since there are a lot less?

I hope, there will be a Support for my Logitech G13.

Also for G15 and G19
