CloseI don't know how many of you play first-person shooters, but how do you like your controls set up? In the FPS game we are making, you can change the controls yourself, but I'm wanting to know how you like having the controls for the defaults.
The Current Default Controls are:
Move Forward - W
Move Backwards - S
Strafe Left/Right - A and D
Look Around/Aim - Mouse
Shoot - Left Mouse Button
Zoom in with gun - Hold down Z (No multiple levels of zoom for individual guns)
Reload - R
Use Key - E
Jump - Space Bar
Crouch - Press C once
Change Weapons - Mouse Wheel or 1-0 Keys
I'm thinking this works, having everything close together for the left hand, but how do you like it?
Also, does it matter to you if different guns have different crosshairs?

The only thing I think is that you should put the right mouse button to reload, I think that would be much easier as It is so close to the shoot button. But that's just me.

You know, thats actually a good idea.
Yeah it's what I do with every FPS I play on PC.
Zooming in with the Z key would be kind of hard when trying to move, but I don't know any way around that.
Its mainly going to be used with a sniper rifle and such, things that you most likely will be still while shooting. I could probably change it to where z toggles zoom on and off instead of holding it down though, that would take care of it.

I say zoom should be the scroll wheel, but that's just what I'm used to.
That sounds good.
Changing weapons could then be Q for previous weapon and E for next ... maybe?
Yeah that sounds good, its just with one level of zoom for each weapon I thought a key might as well be used. Also, I forgot to mention that run it toggled by shift key.
I don't generally play FPS on PC anymore, but if I were to play yours, a prerequisite would be that the controls could be mapped around the arrow keys, since I have never been able to use wsad.

If there is no secondary fire, I would put RMB as Zoom and leave R for reload, like Half-Life. Then put LSHIFT as Crouch (crouch-jump, again HL). In Quake 2 I use RMB for Cycle weapons and Q and E changes the FOV (zoom) in single player. There's no option for mouse wheel in the controls menu so I never set it :p. In Quake 3 however, clicking the wheel (Mouse3) whips out the Gauntlet for Humiliations :).
