NoxSpartana Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 So far one enormous sore thumb sticks out to me. The camera controls. I'm not referring to the actual camera interface, which I'm sure I'll get down once I'm used to it, but how it "moves". The arrow keys for instance, seem to take a second to respond and then slowly "speed up" and gain inertia which seems to make it take longer to "stop" the camera. This is incredibly annoying. Please for the love of god, in the next patch, make it so the camera reacts instantly to the arrow keys and STOPS right away when you switch arrow key directions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The wierd thing is that I just use the mouse at the map edges like I did in CMBB, and so it's worked exactly I expected. I suppose I am in the minority that hates using the keyboard for gaming commands, and thus haven't noticed the keyboard issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Yeah, I use the the mouse exclusively for all camera movements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Yep same here. Mouse exclusively to control the camera and maybe the keyboard for fine adjustment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 As I've said before. WASD is not working. I use left-click hold and right-click hold for all the work. It works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Keyboard is designed for more delicate placement, not for general camera maneuver. Once you get the hang of it you'll find that you want to use the keyboard to shortcut issuing Commands and use the mouse for camera, targeting, and other things in the 3D area. It takes some getting used to, we fully acknowledge, but ask the testers... once they learned it they realized we did the right thing. And getting testers to come forth with a statement like that is really rare, since they generally hate not having something to gripe about. Hey, they are wargamers first and testers second after all Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Be aware that you can also hold the left and right mouse buttons while moving the mouse and you will find you can get much more precise control. I couldnt get used to the keyboard camera controls either and then one night I remembered to try the mouse and mouse button system and now its much easier and reponsive for me than it ever was before. Thats not to say we won't try and make it better though in future patches. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I don't like the feel of the keyboard controls at any level, even for fine tuning. However, I am learning to love moving the camera with the mouse! For me, one irksome thing is that the camera speed is too slow at higher elevations and tow fast at the lower elevations, with mouse or keyboard. I would think it should be the opposite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
