Yeah, it is very difficult indeed ;P

WASD + right mouse button since Duke3D

that is sooo fake blaps ))

yeah i gotta admit i have trouble getting my rjumps up to a proper height using mouse1 and space. for example getting up bigroom->tele high on dm2 is a total bitch unless i either put jump on mouse or bind a key to both fire and jump

niggah stole my keyboard!
bind space +jump

mouse2 all the way for jumping/rj-ing. it makes bunnying and rj-ing so much easier to time, keeping the hand coordination all in one part of the brain. but you have to find what clicks best for your setup; nothing can be done without some trial and error and tweaking.

mouse1 +forward
, move left
. move right
alt_GR jump
mouse2 +rl
mouse3 +shaft
space +gl

wait... what?

no way

r forward
d moveleft
f back
g moveright
mouse2 jump

I believe that the wasd (esdf, rdfg, arrow keys etc., or upsidedown, as in qwes with s as back) style system, with either space or mouse2 for jump is the most commonly used. In second would be the asd mouse2 type system where mouse2 is forward, or another movement key, and space is usually jump.
There have been some other configurations used by reasonably strong players, but they are rare. "sd mouse2 with space for back" system as I creatively call it, was used by pietro, where s and d are strafes, or in pietro's case j and k. In these systems the pinky usually hits the jump key, in pietro's case 'g', or in someone who uses s and d as strafes I have seen the 'a' key used. Those are the only configs for quakeworld that i've seen by good players, but blaps may have shattered my reality if his config is real hehe.

blaps = n00b and yes, his config is real unfortunately :\

w: +forward
s: +back
d: +moveright
a: +moveleft

space: +jump

wasd, mouse2 jump

So where is your +back? I know you've got one

Am I the only one who uses +moveleft/right on the same line as +forward?

Q = +moveleft
W = +forward
E = +moveright
S= +back

Space = +lg
Mouse2 = +jump

Z - +moveleft
X - +moveright
D - +jump
mouse1 - +back
mouse2 - +forward
ctrl - +attack

This config has it's roots in the Wolfenstien 3D default bindings, even though mouse control wasn't really used much then.

arrowup - forward
arrowdown - back
arrowleft - moveleft
arrowright - moveright
shift - jump
ctrl - attack
pageup - lookup
pagedown - lookdown

Mice are so overrated.

w: +forward
s: +back
d: +moveright
a: +moveleft

ctrl: +jump
being a left hander i cant play with mouse in right hand and all the decent mice curve the wrong way.. ie desinged for right handed people ...

nah....ive played this since demo was released (10 years!) and was a space hopper until about 3 months ago
now im mouse2 and its strange at first but movement is far better after change.

wasd - move
m2 - jump
space - fire shaft!

personal pref tho imo

R: +forward
F: +back
D: +moveleft
G: +moveright
mouse2: +jump
space: +ssg
s: +grenade
mouse1: +attack
mouse4: +sg

Z: RL Bind, T: Shaft Bind, Q: SNG


pwned!

my setup's close to skv4r's and SamoN's, only a bit weirder, cause I'm lefthanded.

mouse2 = forward
mouse1 = back
del = strafe left
pgdn = strafe right
end = jump
home = rocketjump (NOT +fjump )
OH! And I got +attack on right ctrl!

I have m2 +forward and spacebar +jump

There might be a merit in having W forward and jump on the mouse ... especially back when the mouse buttons wore off fast (I remember I wore out the right button a new optical mouse in like a month.. And I realised it was because I kept holding the right button down, while the left button i wasnt holding down that much (my LG fire is on shift))

Haven't played Quake in 4+ years (not sure exaclty, not to long after Q2 came out) or any multiplayer game (fuck railgun, ruined everything ), just downloaded it again. Nobody talked about strafejumping back then, gonna take some time before I can be any good at it, strategy changed a lot and duels are played dm 3 rather than dm 1.

mouse2 forward
q left
w right
x backward
a jump

Since you don't strafe both ways at the same time I can use whatever finger is free to jump.

This has to be the most fucked up setup for quake I've seen. How can you possibly bunnyhop around the map when you have to constantly press jump (a) and alternate between q and w all the time. You have do it if you want to move fast. Well I guess you are pretty hardcore

mouse2 +jump ftw

God punished me to be left-handed so enter +jump and arrows for movement

'nuff said

wasd for movement and shift for +jump

I am mouse2. I did try to switch to space for jump but couldnt really get into it.

I think Space is the best for jump tho tbh. Using space (or any key) to jump and mouse to move forward would result in better movement/aim I think.

And why is that? its all what u are used to isnt it?

mosue 2 for jump
m1 for +rl
m4 +shaft
m5 +best wep except shaft/rl/gl

my movement will be unique i think
e - forward
left shift - back
a - strafe left
f - strafe right

no, I don't have to big hand

lol thats strange
