Control Layouts for tactical shooters a kind of meh...its not as twitchy so rarely anyone messes with the default. But interestingly a lot more players messes with the default controls for a twitchy based game like Quake Live, Unreal Tournament, and Xonotic.
So what is your control layout when it comes to Xonotic? It is interesting to see what bizzare control layouts players comes up with and why, because those games are extremely fast, and it is important to make quick judgements and movements.
Here is my changes I made.
Q and E are my previous and next keys - I chose that because it is a lot easier to scroll through weapons precisely instead of using the mousewheel.
Shift is my hook key - No sprint in Xonotic? Then what am I going to use the shift key for? Well, apparently since you go faster using the hook anyway, that is kind of sprinting in Xonotic. So I used Shift.
Alt key is my "Alternate Fire" key - I'm so used to aiming down sights or zooming in with my Right-Mouse button. So I simply chose my left Alt key for Alternative Fire with my weapons. Plus it kind of does make sense to use it since, well, the key says "Alt" on it. :/
Other than that, that is my simple control scheme. In the past, I grew up with tactical/realistic slow FPSs like Ghost Recon, Thief, Mechwarrior, Swat 3, etc. - So that is why my controls are kind of aimed towards a tactical FPS like style.
What is yours? Is it something bizzare or crazier than mine?
