Haha... agreed. As I'm sure you can imagine, it is especially frustrating with a controller - while the added directional movment is excellent it is difficult to tell when you have broken the threshold of a diagonal/back movement and it becomes a shift+S. Has certainly resulted in a death or two.

It use the annoy me when I first started out but it's been ages since it has gotten me killed. You sure you just ain't clumsy_

I hate 180 turn

the only time I use it is in the first 30 seconds of the match to have fun with all the other dorks spamming buttons waiting for the shields to lower

[RipperT]

I gave up making this request after CB2 (I think). Seems to be an item so low on their list as to be non-existent.

[DFTR]

I use the 180 turn, but honestly most often I hit Shift-S by mistake when the fighting grows fierce.  
I'd like to be able to rebind the shift S to the 'Caplocks' key and have shift-S and S do the same thing.
It's nice to see expert players share the same frustration.

Maybe have an internal that grants the ability to backboost.

[shosca]

I've been playing around with the HawkenInput.ini file and been able to bind the items to different keys. I'm @work right now, will take a look at it when i'm @home.

Wow, after all this time playing hawken you still have issues wth fuzzy bunny+s.

Sorry to hear that FM.

I find it quite useful at times, and rarely missclick it at all anymore.

Althought i think it would be nice to give the options for the nubs and scrubs to remove it.

[OdinTheWise]

i would rather have a back boost than a 180 tbh

[mikeymop]

The 180 turn is really useful IMO. The key-binding seems like it was made to simplify movement but it has gotten in the way once or twice. I can imagine the frustration with an Xbox Controller, I hate the default controller scheme to begin with.

On a keyboard it's not bad at all, I never noticed, but it's really strange not all the keybindings can be changed.

[angryhampster]

i change shift to "spacebar"


it reduces the pain, and i can play for a bit longer.

the use of the pinky really puts a pain in my left hand.

i'm sad i didn't workout my left hand as much in middle school up to high school.  i regret it badly n ow.

[zorin1]

I rather change the Shift-S to x.  I hope when I am fighting FM that he hits it by mistake, that is the only way I can kill him.  

[SanicTheSandraker]

Personally, I like the 180 turn, it has its uses. But I would like to change the key binding for it from shift+s to one button press

I want this so much! To be able to just scoot backward off a ledge...

[shosca]

I've done it. Disabled shift+s and mapped x to quick 180.

Search for GBA_Backward in HawkenInput.ini file and you should find lines that start with:
Bindings=(Name="S",Command="GBA_Backward" .....

Make sure this line has bIgnoreShift=True, if its missing add it like:
Bindings=(Name="S",Command="GBA_Backward",bIgnoreShift=True)

if it is set to False make it True.

Now create a copy of this line right there and replace "S" with "X" and replace Command with  "GBA_Boost | GBA_Backward". This will bind X to quick 180 without shift. Make sure there are no other lines that start with:
Bindings=(Name="X"... within the config section.

You can also bind left and right dodges like this to individual keys if you want to.

You are awesome! Now I can finally use both Shift (and a key) and double tapping! As well as anything else! Thanks a lot!

[HideyoshiYaoi]

NO NO

the best part of shift + s

is whenever I'm like PEW PEW DIE!! and then I accidentally hit shift + s, I TOTALLY try to play it off as if I meant to do it and boost in that direction

lmao
