The best controls that I have found are: M for fire, N for switch, B for run, and space for jump. You use your index finger for fire, middle finger for switch, ring finger on run, and your pinky and/or thumb for jump. If anyone knows any better controls then that then TELL ME!! Although I doubt there are any better controls on the keyboard.

I use the default controls, except that the other button for jump is "Z." They're good enough for me..;p

Default controls.

I use my right hand for movement and my left hand for changing weapons and shooting. I use caps lock to run.

I use the default keys, basicly. (Space to shoot, arrow keys to move, ctrl to jump, shift to run) I sometimes put caps on to run also.

I use 1-9 to change weapons, much faster than enter ;P

Default, except for that I use right-alt to jump. Since it's closer to the space bar ;-)

You all should really try my controls because with them your hand isnt stretched across a few keys, and they are alot easier to use when you get used to them. I just really hate the default controls and I use space, B, N, M and arrows for just about every game I play. These controls are also alot more comfortable for your hands when you play for a long time. Does anyone know if theres a way to change my user name? I wanted to change it to the one I use when I play JJ2

How can you people use those default controls?!?!?! They are the worst controls possible, you should at least TRY the ones that I said.

My hands are way too big for those controls, adam.

ALT - Jump
CTRL - Shoot
SHIFT - Run
ENTER - Change weapons


In windowed mode, I use SPACE to jump because ALT in windowed things is evil. However, pressing ALT in windowed mode lets you do self lag.

Always default. Never anything else. And same as KRSplat...hands are too big for that control setup you use Adam.

Why should I use new controls? I'm used to the one I'm using, a new would ust confuse me.

Ah, I like my controlls just how they are, and I have no discomfort with them.

They are kind of like the WASD controlls of 3D shooters in a way, because the keys I use are around that area.

Arrow keys are all at their default values, of course.

Shift=Run
Z=Shoot
X=Jump
C=Change weapon

It works well for me, because they are all in a row, without my hand being in an awkward position, however I'd have to change the keys if I was to have someone else at the keyboard with me on multiplayer. It is only set up for one person at the keyboard.

Oh yeah, and if I don't know I am in chat mode, and try to jump, I may end up typing XXX by mistake :roll:

Silly question, but what are the default controls? :p

Jul 5, 2003, 07:41 PM
F:Fire
D:Jump
S:Run
A:Change

In all my games, I change the controls to ASDF (and if I need more buttons, QWER, and ,./ for changing camara veiws)

I used to use a MICROSOFT sidewinder gampad, but when I upgraded to MICROSOFT Windows XP, it didn't work and had no patches.
Wee fun.

Yeah. I believe videogames rub microsoft the wrong way. :P

They are going to support them better in the next Windows. Game friendly, this next one will be.

well, this might seem odd but:

up: up arrow
dwn: down arrow
left: left arrow
right: right arrow
fire: left ctrl
select: enter
jump: shift
run: x


for some odd reason i never got used to the default controls. it just felt akward to me, maybe it's the wave (split) keyboard i am forced to use, cause my dad has carpal tunnel syndrome.

Right hand:

Up: Up Key
Down: Down key
Left: Left key
Right: Right key

Left hand:

<b>Left Hand</b>
Up: E
Down: D
Left: S
Right: F

<b>Right Hand</b>
Switch Weapon: H or Y (my finger hits either one of the two so I just put them both on the controls)
Shoot: U
Run: I
Jump: O

I used to use the usual WASD with:
V as weapon switch
B as shoot
N as run
M as jump
Problem with that was keyjamming on my current keyboard, so i tried different combinations and found my current one to be the most anti-keyjamming there is :D

Oh, and dont think default keys are weird, I've actually seen people play with them and do fine, it still scares me though :p

I use the default controls, and my left hand is on the right control and right shift. I don't get how people can go to the left side control and shift. Seems weird to me =P

Actually, the only thing I change is that switch weapons is /. Enter is too far away and awkward.

I don't use controls. I psychically control the game with my mind.

I've also psychically claimed this page with my mind.

Here is what I like:

Right hand = arrow keys = directions

Left hand = actions:

Center Enter: run
Right shift: jump
Right ctrl: shoot
Space: select weapons
T: talk

My side scrolling games have always been Rshift - jump, Rctrl - shoot, arrow keys for walking, and the nearby keys for other actions.

But I am thinking of making ] to select weapons, since its closer than space, but just out of the way enough so I won't push it by accident. I also would like to use my Playstation 2 controller for the game with the adapter I have. The game let me set the controls, but only as joypad 3 strangely enough. But anyway, it won't work in the game. Maybe it needs to be recognised as joypad 1 to work, but it doesn't let me bind keys there.

For PC games, I NEVER use defaults. They are never what I like. Sometimes I might only need to adjust controls by a bit, but I never ever use default controls in any PC games.

I use arrow keys for movements.

/ = Jump
. = Shoot
, = Run
M or Space = next weapon

If I'm on a bad keyboard that can't handle simutaneous pressed keys, I'll just use N M and , (and probably have to use the stupid caps-lock for running on those keyboards)...

I usually use the default controls, except I put right alt as an alternate jump key, because I know that sometimes my finger slips off the key, so the right alt will cover me :) .

For Keyboard2, I use:
A - shoot
S - run
D - jump
Q - switch weapon
G - left
H - down
J - right
Y - up

I also have a Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick, which is quite difficult to use on Jazz2 and a Gravis Xterminator gamepad, but it hasn't been working lately :p .

CTRL=Jump
ALT=Fire
ENTER=Switch Guns
4 Directional Arrow Keys=Up, Down, Left, Right

I use it for Jazz 1 and Jazz 2 - works awesome. :)

For Jazz 2, Run = Left Shift.

I use my gamepad for JJ2 :)

I tried my analogue logitech controller, but the slight touch down and it would buttstomp, so I got a cheap 'Saitek Digital Gamepad P220' for only £10 and use that just for Jazz2 :)
