If it's possible to switch from "Classic Hotkeys" to "Grid Hotkeys", wouldn't it be possible to have an option to switch between WASD and the arrow keys?

Don't post about autohotkey, that's not a solution for something the game should've had from the start

No, but not in the way you might think.

Full hotkey support in game is what we need.

People who suggest AHK should be very critical of Relic for NOT PUTTING IN BASIC, NECESSARY FEATURES like this. It's an affront to the customer.
In the meantime, until Relic fixes their shit, AHK is useful for those of us who want to put in the efffort.

Some keyboards come with drivers that allow you to make different profiles with different key configurations. This worked out fine for me. For some obscure reason, AHK is bugging on me...

First of all, I abstained from voting because your answer choices are loaded.

Of course Relic should have implemented hotkeys YEARS ago but in the meantime why not just use your middle mouse button to move the camera...? I remapped it to a mouse thumb button to make it even easier.

Do you guys know the key bindings are probably hardcoded in the engine? You all yell for hotkey support, but do you even know what kind of shitstorm stands between Lelic and the solution? I know, 'they are developers, they should have done it already' but from what I know Essence Engine 3 is a massive clusterfuck.

Let's let Lelic fix the optimization, it'd be a miracle already.

Then they should put in the time and effort to make CoH2's implementation with Essence Engine 3 not such an orgy of bad coding. Unless, of course, that's so impossible and it's so messed up that it'd delay everything by a half a year or more.
Then again, the other benefits from a modular and properly refined engine are endless, and so much functionality could be more easily put in with less time. I think it'd be worth it in the end.
Especially for the modding community.

:loco: I don't know about you, but I find it very uncomfortable to play with the arrow keys

It also bugs me how abilities such as vehicle snares use different hotkeys for each faction: E for Cons, F for Grens and N for Rifles. :S

I guess my problem is I'm an FPS player at heart and my control scheme reflects that. Unfortunately that also means my mouse ends up doing 90% of the workload. If I could use Mouse4 to move the camera and Mouse5 to 'jump' to recent notifications, and get used to that, I'd be able to improve my reaction times.

Try it. With camera drag on my thumb button I don't even use middle mouse. This way you don't have to take your index finger off of mouse 1 to move the camera.

I would if I could, but you can't rebind keys!

The hotkeys are awful. It seems like someone was just throwing shit at a keyboard and whatever button they hit it became the hotkey.

Seriously, how has there been no key mapping since 2006? Relic staff must love the letter "T".

I would like to see in the game a combination of the two buttons in MMO, shift + key

Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community.
Today, 12:07 PM
adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic
Today, 10:45 AM
Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
Yesterday, 20:00 PM
Rosbone: They dont care about Coh3 or Coh in general. They are just trying to grab cash by ripping off the small user base they have.
Yesterday, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: Just making mistake after mistake after mistake.
Yesterday, 19:57 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.
Yesterday, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: For a thing they could fix in minutes. Literally minutes.
Yesterday, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.
Yesterday, 19:53 PM
Rosbone: I am just saddened how Relic keeps hurting themselves by not fixing 5 minute things like menus. Why anger users with stuff that could be fixed in minutes???
Yesterday, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.
Yesterday, 19:48 PM
OKSpitfire: You can rage as often as you like btw, you usually manage to make it pretty funny.
Last Wednesday, 11:18 AM
Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
Last Wednesday, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
Last Wednesday, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.

theekvn: + 33% dmg rear hit was best deal ever.
