Comm Hotkeys

<div class="IPBDescription">bah, all gone! :(</div> One thing I miss hugely is the ability to bind certain keys to items as a commander. It was nice to have a dedicated jetpack key, one for a turret, one for med packs, etc. When you've been playing since the day of release you get very used to and comfortable with this system. Admittedly, the new system may be good and easier for some people, but we weren't even given a choice about this! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I used to play with the arrow keys for movement (Duke Nukem 3D defaults <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->), and I had all my comm keys on the numpad. Due to the fact that the numpad can no longer be used, I've had to switch to WASD movement. OK, so a lot of people might say 'good, its a superior system u silly n00b!'. Well fair enough, it may be, but why remove a feature that many of us have used a considerable amount and force changes upon us?

I hope I haven't come across and some stuck up or ranting n00b, but I was just a tad disappointed by this alteration. I do however feel that NS 2.0 is a great patch and the amount of work that has gone into it has paid off enormously.

Ta for reading <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
