- andybak 17y agoInteresting. If only I'd been shown that 15 years ago when I still had some ability to rewire my neuronal pathways.
- pavel_lishin 17y agoI can't imagine being too old to get used to a new control scheme. It's like being too old to switch to standard instead of automatic.
- bugs 17y agoIt is more like a well established touch typer switching from qwerty to dvorak, it can happen just takes will to change and a good amount of time.
- nonrecursive 17y agohow do you walk backward?
- icey 17y agoMouselook around, or whip it around if you're playing an FPS. I can't think of too many times where actually walking backwards would be advantageous since it usually makes you move more slowly.
- weaksauce 17y agoshooting while retreating would be one scenario I can think of. Someone else said it but the typical fps setup is wsad space jump, ctrl or shift =crouch or run with mouselook.
- jimm 17y agoAlt key, right under my left thumb.
- ramchip 17y agoAFAIK the canonical FPS setup is wasd for up/strafe left/down/strafe right, left click for fire, right click for secondary fire, x for duck and z for prone. Or, anyway, it's what I use. I think it allows for more flexibility in movement, but sometimes cheap keyboards don't support strafe+forward+duck together too well without using modifiers (ctrl/shift).
