So which ones do you use? WSAD keys or arrow keys? I use arrow keys because they are IMO easier to use. WSAD feels weird. I think they should make keys around the arrow keys specifically for FPS games since their getting more complicated every year ;) Well what do you use?

Lol Snipe the way you worded the answer choices cracked me up. I use 'old skool' arrow keys, the WSAD feels wierd to me too, and I'm lefty so the WSAD won't work out.
I use YBAL. Big hands. :w00t:

WASD, I used to use the arrows, but then jump was
a separate action, not to mention that going
to an unfamiliar keyboard may screw you up, depending
on where the arrow keys are...

i use wasd for it cuz of the jump spacebar and all..
and i just like my hand being there.
Ewww, it's tied up now. I've always used the arrow keys. I didn't realize so many used WSAD. And I started with SS, so I wasn't influenced by the older games. I don't even remember now which one is default for SS. :WTF: :drink:

I tried wasd and I got all messed up and end up on esdf like a million times :bandhead:

WASD because spacebar is easier to reach for jumpin' Plus, I would need a bigger desk to move the keyboard over so my hands aren't so close together if I used arrows...Maybe if they were on the other side of the keyboard?

I use the arrow keys but have to move the keyboard way over to the left and put it at a silly angle - but wait for this........... I still have the jump on the space bar and use my little pinky finger to do my jumping! I got so used to it I am afraid to move it! :bawling:

Arrow keys, man. I can't use WASD at all. I always end up hitting ESDF or DZXC or something stupid like that. I've been using the arrow keys for way too long to switch ;)

The poll choices offend me. Calling WASD 'new' compared to arrow keys in FPS games is like saying Cain & Able are new school and Adam & Eve are the old. They're both really fricking old, dammit. WASD has been around ever since someone decided to try and play Wolfenstein with the keyboard and the mouse.
p.s. hobbes = wasd
therefore, wasd = great
