HL2 Controls

[Prowler]

Anyone wonder if there will be any control changes for HL2 than in part 1. Maybe new techniques in HL2 that require extra control buttons and also the type of joystick it will support in game. For HL 1 i used the microsoft sidewinder from 1996 and of course the mouse, which worked perfectly, but im having doubts it will be supported in HL2 because of the fact that many new games dont support old joysticks. If thats the case, i better start saving extra money for a good joystick. What do you guys think?

W - move forward...
S - Backwards
A - Side step left
D - Side step right
Shift - Walk/Run toggle
Ctrl - Crouch
1/9 - Inventory
F - Use
R - Reload
G - Flashlight
V - Prone (if there is prone)
Space Bar - Jump
Left Mouse - Fire weapon/attack
Right Mouse - Alt fire/attack
Scroller/Side buttons - Inventory


Controls dont change... Gameplay changes...

About the Joystick, they probably dont support it since it was made in 1996... Considering the time they put into, sure they support it, but who uses a JStick in FPS's??? Death wish anyone? lol

You'll be able to map the controls to your own specification as in the original. The defaults will likely be exactly the same and as for any other new gameplay features, they'll be set as default in the most natural and convenient place.
