I think you can also try to improve the position of your camera. Like, if you are microing a tank, you position the camera so that your tank is at one of the edges of the screen. This way you can spot bad things coming out of the fog of war faster. A downside of this is that it takes you longer to reverse your tank, as the area behind your tank is not on the screen! If you still want to reverse fast, you have to give the order on the minimap.

Concerning not using the arrow keys to move the camera, I heard that Starcraft players actually prefer them. The reason is that you do not have to put your cursor in a position where it can not give any meaningful order. In Coh2, I see the problem that the arrow keys are not near other hotkeys, so I agree that using them is bad at the moment.

If you need to fine tune your camera use edge scrolling.


I would say the opposite, but I guess it's a matter of habit as well. I use WASD to move the camera around and have all hotkeys I usually need around that so would make no sense for me to use edge scrolling. If you are using standard keys however it'll obviously be a horrible idea to move your hand from ZXC to your arrowkeys just to move the map around a little bit.

False.

Middle-mouse button is the sweet spot for manipulating the camera. Cursor stays where you want it.

I downloaded AHK and remapped the camera controls to asdw and then remapped the hotkeys that were there previous to other things, including my mouse buttons. I also have the tac map on the middle mouse button but I don't use it as much.

Ive seen your micro when you strem and I am impressed. Can you give us longtime-noobs some more tips? Example: why is the middlemouse the sweetspot? Or is it purely individual?

THIS! using WASD for panning and remapping grid keys works wonders!
I've also got Attack Move on the scrollwheel click, very handy.
