Rumor Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 at one time i could use wasd but not after playing tribes for years. (for those of you who don't know, in tribes and tribes2 the default controls are ESDF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK | unnamed Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 heh I know it's hard to break a setup once you get used to it. One of the things I hear the most about my setup is: "You don't use mouse2 for alt fire? mouse2 is your forward? wtf?! But most really "old school" gamers who have played first person shooters since the early days know where the "mouse2 = forward" comes from. Back then, in games like doom/quake there was no such thing as "alt fire" and the default key for forward was always mouse2. I got used to it so long ago, I just never bothered to try forward movement on a keyboard. The back movement on my mouse seemed logical to me as well (by the time I ditched the joystick for a mouse/keyboard combo, multiple button mice were pretty common). :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threepsnud Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Tribes is also a pretty good game. I mean, I haven't tried the first one, but the second one's good. I have never played with the mouse going forward, I've grown up to things like Doom, Quake, Timesplitters to name a few games. So I use WASDA and the Timesplitters had the alt-fire, so that's why I mentioned that. Just ya friendly neighbourhood Spiderman... *wowowow* <o><o> o(__)o *shrek* =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESDF owns WASD.... especially with a 5-button mouse.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
