I am game-crippled!

Post by killbot737 »

I have always played FPS games in pilot mode. That means down=up movement wise. I expect at least 1/2 of this audience knows what I'm talking about. Reverse mouse axis. That's right.

Anyway, I'm trying to get back up to speed on UT2K4 and I've discovered Star Wars Galaxies has crippeld my skills!

I'm so used the scheme I set up with it (the opposite of pilot controls) that I am completely messed up on any other FPS game. Ack!

Damn you Anakin! Stop TK'ing! Bizzotch!
There is no hug button. Sad!

i nominate you to play on the other side in swat 4. :P

i can sympathize with you. i used to play using the old arrow keys+num pad setup, and found it somewhat difficult to play WASD.

Kelric, how the hell do you fly planes? Up=Up?
:)
I'm aware that some folks have no trouble switching from Up=Up to Up=Down when switching from FPS to Flight Sim, but I ain't one of 'em. Pilot mode all the way for me.

I have the same problem . . . reverse axes in FPS, normal in WoW. Given that I've done nothing but WoW since October, I find that I'm pretty craptacular at UT2k4 these days. It's sad.
