why do so many newer games have C as default crouch/stance change?

['za]

i never got this. ctrl is THE crouch button, and since you can never crouch while sprinting, which is always shift, it makes even more sense to have them be under the control of the same finger.

Back when I played CoD 1 and CoD 2 C was the crouch button. and I used to play CoD 1 and 2 ALLOT. So now I am used to C being the crouch button, I can't stand it being any other key.

I often use C as crouch toggle, so I can stay still for a bit and not have to hold down the button for a minute straight. I like ctrl as the crouch hold button, for quick instances.

The crouch key for me is hold down C, I never find myself having to press C for 5 more seconds, I usele hold it just for a small advatnge when someone is trying to shoot my head.

Crouch begins with C.

Kneel begins with "K"
Duck begins with "D"
Jump begins with "J"
Run begins with "R"
Sprint begins with "S"
Fire begins with "F"

Now, walk begins with "W", so that works.

That would be a neat challenge.

god bless the master race where you can remap the keys at your will,now what is your issue?

always thought it was strange is all

It is, who ever mapped the keys like that should go back to consoles.

If you use ctrl then you pinky has to go all the way behind you to crouch. that's pretty hard to do in a wasd system

Never been an issue for me, then again, I'm 6' with hands to match, so that might be the reason.

i kno! lol some hipster probly trying to be unique

I may be a bit strange...


...I use the "x" key for crouching.




Unless there is no sprint, then I use shift. I actually avoid using left CTRL at all in gaming because my pinky hates it.

Come to think of it though, I mostly use a 360 controller to avoid most keybinding awkwardness.

This is what System Shock 2 does for default. The S button is the crouching button. My fingers have to work like spaghetti.

I've never noticed a "standard" keymapping placement for any command. I just learn to adapt to the game at hand.

Wait, what???


How in the hecks are you reaching the left CTRL with your thumb?

Normally your thumb is on the space bar and the furthest key left you can really reach with your thumb is left ALT.
