| There were other games, Duke Nukem, Quake, that used default WASD movement keys. I know I'm not the only one who was annoyed all to hell about this becoming the standard as well. Standard keyboard typing position on a qwerty keyboard has your index finger on your left hand over F and right hand over J.
Doesn't it make more sense for your default forward, backward, left, right keys to be ESDF? I've always rebound my movement keys to these, how annoying would it be for me to have to move my hand one key to the left to move, one key to the right to type.
Of course, I suppose I could use my pinky, ring, middle finger to move with, but that's would seem to be even more annoying. |
