: I've found that assigning Glance Left/Right to the Q and E keys respectively
: helps with that. It also allows you to fire instantly to the left/right if
: used properly.
: Eg: You have the SPNKR, one target to the left and one to the right. Glance
: left fire, glance right fire (assuming they don't dodge...)...
: It can also give you an almost 360º range of fire too...without turning
: around or change directions...if you're already looking to the left or
: right as far as the mouse will go, add in glance and you'll add on another
: 90º of direction. Of course, there is some blind spots since glance always
: looks 90º to the left or right from your current view position.

I always wondered if anyone uses those. Personally, I learned how to turn all the way around without losing momentum. I can turn 360° and keep moving in the same direction.

Of course, I learned that because it works in all FPSs with a strafe. That, and I have a PowerBook, and that keyboard does not have a keypad so I get stuck for how many keys I access. Right now I have Q and E set to switching weapons. My left hand looks and my right hand moves. When I mouse, I use my left hand.

My goal is to just learn how to use asdw + jkli for movement and looking and I will have all FP games set. :)

But this glance thing intrigues me...
