Will there be lefty support

[goldenboi]

Hi, after seeing that new video and the guy doing lefty on CS, I myself, a natural born lefty who uses his mouse with his right, have since played CS with the left on screen and right hand mouse as usual. I see a lot better and am much more coordinated. Will there be support for the southpaws?

 

[Mr. Redundant]

Im guessing yes it is a "port" after all... so it wont be LESS, if it isnt the same it might be a lil more, but it definately wont be less.

Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis- for HL2!! Is Half-Life 2 a port of HL1? Lol. HL1's deleted scenes with HL2 egnine

 

[Beserker]

He's saying, my dear dum..er..reader, that CS is ported to the Source engine which can only make it better. Also HL will get ported.

goldenbol: yeah, I think they probably will have support for leftys in HL2... although, only way to really know is to ask Valve, or wait 'til it comes out.

Ummm... don't you just have to switch your mouse buttons and use your mouse with the other hand? I'm confused as to what the issue would be.

 

[Raziaar]

He's talking about gun models and stuff being on the left side of the screen compared to the right.

TO answer your question, its probably almost guaranteed they support it. You can probably set your weapons for right, center or left

Could you please make more sense.

One of the HL2 SOURCE engine videos show someone using a left-handed configuration.

 

[goldenboi]

Thx. Rajiarr answered my question :hmph:

... Counter-Strike supports Left and Right hand models, (Probably just mirrored), CS:S, a remake of CS, would NOT support this? The question is, infact, logical.

Anyway, glad to see it's solved.

 

[Flyingdebris]

no it will not be supported because valve really hates left handed people, they are the spawn of satan

die lefty die

This is a good question. The only reason CS has left handed models is because the original modeler could ONLY do left handed. There weren't any right handed (back in the day). I don't recall seeing any "left handed" option in HL or the expansions.

eh?
every game I had ever played until counter-strike, had right sided hands/ view weapons.

I think gooseman did that because he was left handed perhaps?

edit: wait I think I misunderstood your wording.

do you mean.. the reason that CS has Left handed models is because originally There were only Left handed models to begin with?
if so, yes thats true.. Originally counter-strike only had left handed view weapons.... which was odd if you were right handed.

I dont know if HL will have an option for this (e-mail perhaps), however other games like UT2k4 and Quake3 engine games have options to enable disable or left/right orientation.
currently I think only CS has this option (in the HL realm) but dont quote me on that.

 

[FictiousWill]

That's what he said.

 

[Mr. Redundant]

That's what he said.

yeah I saw that, Im tired lemme lone!
see I thought HE was confused, saying "there were no right handed models back in the day" I then realized that he was strictly refering to CS... so in actual fact I was the one who was confused.
