    I really want to enjoy MNC and recommend it to others but the lack of left-handed controls is really crushing any fun I might have.

    Playing with the default right-handed stick setup leaves me with barely 50% aiming ability. I'd suggest maybe patching in the ability to swap the sticks at least?

    Interesting concept -- I've never heard of left-handed gaming controls.

    I also have never heard of this. Do you know of any other games that I can look at as an example of this?

    I he is talking about south paw I would think. a south paw is a left handed pitcher.

    I would really like to see the legacy and south paw controls added to this game too.
    It seem like a number of xbox arcade games come out without them. life perfect dark, and you have to figure that there are a number of people who don't just use that standard control settings. and it makes the game almost unplayable if you have been using the same controls for over 10 years on any number of games.

    Yeah, South Paw is what they mean. I was also surprised that 'X' was weapon swap and 'Y' was reload when Halo set this standard for 'Y' being swap weapons years ago. Needless to say not following the Halo standard of having 'Y' as swap weapons has killed the tactical layout for me. Was this simply an oversight?

    You guys need to put a control type that lets you choose each button specifically and what the joysticks are set as.

    So I just went and looked at this and you found a bug!

    In Tactical X = reload and Y = switch weapons. However, the labels say the opposite! So it does what you want, it just lies about it!

    Great, thank you! To be honest I would have never tested it so make sure you address the issue of having the labels fixed because I am probably not the only one that believes what they read in the menu.

    Issue has been logged.

    We are definitely paying attention to everyone requesting south paw as well. That request has been logged.

    Well trying to control aiming with my right thumb gives me barely 60% accuracy at best.

    I am left handed, and have never even heard of left handed controls.

    Seriously I think that it is just fine as it is. This is the standard, and they let you invert it, so I personally can't complain.

    Any chance on custom button layouts? Or just more alternates?

    Example being..http://www.uberent.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=986.

    Let me throw my ring in the hat for a southpaw button layout as well. I know that the issue has already been logged; however, I thought I would state that I had a friend download the demo, played for about 3 seconds, and hasn't picked it up since. I know not only was he disappointed he couldn't play, but frustrated because his entire friend's list was :lol:

    South Paw support +1

    SouthPaw is fairly high on our list of priorities but we don't make promises other than we are taking your feedback seriously.

    For anyone who has never heard of left handed controls...

    Load up COD4, Halo 3 or Gears Of War. All 4 layouts are available in the options screen. These aren't new inventions, they've been around since Goldeneye on the N64.

    Halo 3 has south paw control options, in stead of moving with the right stick its left, and same for look.

    Another vote here for Southpaw. I love the game, but would love it even more if I could control it fully.

    It's nice to know that this issue is now on Uber Entertainment's radar. :D
