Ahh Jeremy. I hate to be one of the exceptions to the rule. Since I've never had sight myself, I have only played fps games that use the console controllers - with the help of my dad and others. But I personally dislike having one mouse button for walking and one for firing - personally I'd say reload should be right mouse button and reassign the walking to something else...

It's a small difference but the control methods were usually set up a little different between those styles of games. I actually have had several people say that mainstream first person shooter games use W as forward instead of the right mouse button. I know people aren't actually trying to argue, but I do find it a little funny. Some FPS games have shipped with W as the default over the years, but even some have shipped with the up arrow as default. What I'm focused most on is what became the control scheme overwhelmingly adopted by players for each game's online base of players. In all of these games, the right mouse button remained forever the king, haha. I feel a little bad even bringing this up because I don't want anyone to think I'm offended by those comments or trying to defend myself. I just felt like taking a different approach at explaining what I had originally meant. I'm sure that many people on the list have played mainstream FPS games before they lost their sight and it's possible that the ones they played all happened to use w for walking. I took a few minutes to think about it and I came up with 47 first person computer games I've played. I knew it would be a lot, but I'm surprised it was that many! > Hi Kelvin, > > Actually, I have played Swamp before, but not for quite a while.

So that's the source of my slight confusion. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
