Klobbersaurus414 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 For the PC version, it is fairly simialar to Rainbow Six. You move witht he arrow keys and aim and fire witht he mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klobbersaurus414 Posted December 3, 2001 Author Share Posted December 3, 2001 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.

quoudam72 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quoudam72 Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 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 Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Tell if it is really good, right now I'm obsessed with Half-Life: Counter-strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchnaDarr Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 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 Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 oh, so it isn't a buy, for you rainbow six fans try half life: counter-strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormwatch Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 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 basicall 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 :Oplus 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Briscoe Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 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 DOWNbind Keyboard WIN_DOWN_ARROW VK_S DOWNbind Keyboard WIN_RIGHT_ARROW VK_D DOWNbind 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 I'm pissed, I can't move the camera with my mouse. EVEN when the "thing" is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 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.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dregar Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
