Controls?

[Klobbersaurus414]

I downloaded the demo and it is so hard! Only the enter key, ctrl key and the left mouse button do anything. How do you expect to have a game with only 3 buttons. Could someone explain this to me?

[Mahdi]

For the PC version, it is fairly simialar to Rainbow Six.  You move witht he arrow keys and aim and fire witht he mouse.

[Klobbersaurus414]

it seems very confusing, it has unconventional battle controls that are insufficient in controlling Paul. and i noticed that if you hold shift he walks slowly.

[Klobbersaurus414]

and what's with this lightning bolt next to my name?

[exatreide]

It means your online. Its a eaiser way to find people who are on.

When i grow up i am going to make a pc game rental shop. with 1 or two week rentels.

I want to be an animator for some video game company, a video game rental shop would be sweet.

[exatreide]

Yea. I would like to work for a video game mag I.E. EGM or somthing. Or maybe a tester. Then enter the video game development world and work as a level designer.

[thomas]

EGM rocks!! I get that! :D

Ex GamePro just had an article on the gaming industry for those like yourself you should check it out. I think it was the November issue (or maybe the October issue).

[Naub_dib]

mmkay.......

i think im going to trow the worthless peace o plastic in tha trashcan (its about the game) cuz im stuck in tha game:

in the smuggler level the boss (with holzman armor) can anyone help me?????????????????????????

[quoudam72]

A couple of people have been getting stuck on that level, this is the demo or is the game out in stores now? BTW about the controls Echna Darr told me that players can not set-up their own contorls there is no customizing option.

O.k. nevermind the game is in stores now and I am guessing that the controls are still the same way, no?

[EchnaDarr]

Holzman shield? Isn't there a possibility to fire a laser while you're not near?

And the controls suck until you get used to them.

[thomas]

Tell if it is really good, right now I'm obsessed with  Half-Life: Counter-strike.

[EchnaDarr]

There is no mouse aiming, only mouse-looking. Aiming goed automatically, when you center on a target. Some wise advise, try it, before you buy it.

[Mahdi]

I really don't see why everyone is complaining about the controls.  They are exactly the same as the ones in the Rainbow Six games which are extremely ppular, and after a day or two I didn't find them dificult to use at all.

[Gobalopper]

Ya but the camera angles were probably a lot better in Rainbow Six. When I was playing the demo the camera could really get annoying at times.

[thomas]

oh, so it isn't a buy, for you rainbow six fans try half life: counter-strike.

[Stormwatch]

I recently bought the game (being a dune fanatic of course) and the controls are kind of odd. But I realized FH's Dune was not made for the PC instead the PS2.

why I think this:

- to start a new game you have to cycle through the letters to choose your name

- You cant modify the controls

- the controls are extremely basic

all in all i love this game but feel personally that this version is merely testing the waters.

Seeing who is buying the game. so they could aim there ads at us.

This explains why the game itself was so cheap.

Conspiracy? No, capitalism at work  :O :O :O

plus the box says based on the mini series

its not really other then  a bit of scenary. And the freman seem a lot more high tech then in the book

[Guest David Briscoe]

You can change the controls if you manually edit the "dunepc" file in the gamedir. there u can rewrite the keys. eg setup the controls to the normal WASD config!

EG. bind            Keyboard            WIN_UP_ARROW                              VK_W                        DOWN

bind            Keyboard            WIN_DOWN_ARROW                              VK_S                        DOWN

bind            Keyboard            WIN_RIGHT_ARROW                        VK_D                        DOWN

bind            Keyboard            WIN_LEFT_ARROW                              VK_A      

sorry about the format! but if u look at the original file youll get the gist. Also remember to backup the file b4 editing.

Regards!

I have found something shocking!

The Krys cannot be used against an opponent unless he/she hasn't seen you! I've not tested out for sure yet, as I am stuck at the moment.

[Gobalopper]

I think I read that in a review too and I noticed during the demo I couldn't get it to work either. Kind of annoying.

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

I'm pissed, I can't move the camera with my mouse. EVEN when the "thing" is on.

[bob_fox]

I agree, the controls are TERRIBLE! Actually, the controls are worse than those in any other game known to mankind.

BTW - Did you notice that "Carryall" is spelt differently in FH's Dune? It's spelt "CARRYOLE" or something weird like that. Is that how it's spelt in the book? Is the Carryall even in the book? Somebody give me some answers to these questions in my head! Why do they come to me to die? WHY DO THEY COME TO ME TO DIE?

[bob_fox]

As I thought, the carryall is in the book and it is spelt exactly as I've spelt it here. Those idiots at Wide Screen Games (sorry to be offensive) don't know the game as well as I do and I've just started reading the book!

BTW  THE BOOK'S GREAT! (But, of course, you probably all knew that already.)

[Dregar]

You are absolutely right it's in the book (even in the first) and its spelled "Carryall". I don't know why they could have spelled it wrong in the game. But subtitle don't run sync with the game.

They could have perfected it for the PC and not just emulated it from the playstation what they have, according to me.

That is why, the control are so irritation (like the savegamename)
