That's just what I use for Unreal Tournament (and UT 2003)

arrows all the way... shift for jump and ctrl for crouch... adapted my universal fps controls from avp1

is it not possible to add a small menu into the control prog where people can bind keys to whatever? i know that many people like using ctrl for jump and shift for crouch, where i am vice versa.

i am able to play wasd, but i do poorly with it... sometimes i start hitting the wrong keys just because all the keys surrounding wasd are all exactly the same!:bangH::knife::guns: thats one reason i prefer arrows. easy to know if your hand is in the wrong spot, and easy to know if you are about to hit the wrong key. (kp0 = reload, kp1 = gren1, kp4 = gren2 for tfc MEDIC IS MOST FUN CLASS EVER:ggani:)

the arrows are great when theres only a few keys to use.

i play a lot of half life mods i need jump (space) , crouch (ctrl), walk (shift), voice com (q), use (e), flashlight (f) , drop weapon (g)
reload (r), the scores (tab). but just put both in and make them customizable if possible.

xmonkey, I'd just use the Insert, Home, Page Up, etc. as hotkeys for those extra commands...

Ok, its like almost standard on frickin all major FPS's that space bar = jump, and c or ctrl= crouch. I prefer C in games which also allow u to go prone, in which case i use x for goin prone (but we're not gonna have that, to much ****, and btw, so we are gonna have crouch in the game, will it affect accuracy?) And, so we are gonna use 1-9-0 for dif weapon controls then, alright by men, but if u ask me, we should use only 2 weapon carried, so its not rush for the big gun gameplay, cuz there shouldnt be a big, super good, kick the **** out of everything gun, there should a be at least 2 guns that counter ones gun in a decent way, as in, A defeats b at ling range, but B defeats A at short range. So for every shotgun like weapon, there is a sniper like weapon. This has been achieved prefectyl in Halo, no ther game does it soo well (excepot Halo 2, when it comes out). And, that way, weapo change is one button, so we can use the arrow keys for thoer stuff then, like chat commands that are sounds heard out loud.

Who the hell uses arrowkeys? If I matched up with any of you arrow key users in say UT2003 I would destroy you with WASD. I used to use arrow keys but they suck compared to WASD!

Yes, thank u, arrow keys are not aas preferable, and think about it, its more logical in every aspect to use WASD except for the fact that the arrow keys have arrows on em, so if u retarded, u can look at the pic on the keys and figure it out. thats my opinion, agian.

im gonna have to say that wasd is definitely the best, not only do u already have ur fingers positioned on forward, back, left, right, and then ur pinky on shift and ur thumb on space, u also have so many more keys that are not far away that just the simplest moves allows for maximum controls,

and draco, u said u use the 6 buttons above the arrows, that would mean u would have u actually manipulate ur whole hand to do it, unless ur some sort of freak, and also they are really only accessible by one finger, while at the wasd, u have buttons all around every finger, so as to add for maximum comfort and customization for ur fragging needs,

however, there have been arguments for both so why not add them both

I like arrow keys the best..... I make the options so my pinky can actually do something.

Forward - Up Arrow
Back - Down Arrow
Strafe Left - Left Arrow
Strafe Right - Right Arrow
Jump - CTRL
Duck - Shift
Use - Enter

Therefore, I want arrow keys. :D

apparently people do not know that many prefer the arrow keys. don't say that a project u did showed 95% preferring wasd, trying to get points for your precious wasd controls. the poll's dont lie. personally i like shift for jump and crouch for control, where a lot of others do vice versa. i say do something so that we can customize our own keys. everyone has their preferred layout. simply implementing two kinds of controls won't fit everyone's preferred way of play.

btw i do not care if anyone is good in ut2003. i prefer half-life mods. i hate games like q3 and ut, where you jump all the time and try to find the biggest gun on the map. btw stop stating your opinions like it's pure fact. it isnt. one should say "well i prefer the wasd controls" instead of "OMFG WTF IS UR GUYS PROBS?! WASD PWNS ARROWZ ONLY NOOBZ USE ARROWZ OMFG WASD DESTROYS ALL ARROWZ NOOBS!!!11!!!!". everyone has their preferred styles. maybe arrow people dont like wasd because they have never tried it? maybe wasd people dont like arrows because they never tried it? don't jump to conclusions before you even know what both worlds are like. Yes, i have tried both, and i still prefer arrows. if people want to act like "L33T G0DZL1K3 PWNZ0R" (aka morons) then go to a different forum. some of us here are trying to contribute to the project.

most of the old FPS's had arrow keys as default. but over the last few years all the FPS's have used WSAD as default.

also, btw i think we have a wierd bunch here at wc3campaigns because yesterday i asked at a gaming forum, got 5 replies and they all said wsad :gsmile:
