Available Control Options: Default & Southpaw

Well, it’s time to take on the Strogg again, I guess, this time via your Xbox 360 or PS3. It’s been a number of years since I played a Quake game and I don’t think I’ve missed much, really. Fans of COD4 and Frontlines are pretty well going to stick with those ones after trying this game.

In any case, Default and Southpaw controls are available for both on foot and land vehicle controls. Once you hit the skies, it’s a bit of a different story for flight vehicles. In this case, you get to pick from two presets:

Flight Controls Option 1
Left Stick: Altitude/Turn
Right Stick: Look/Roll/Decoy (Push)

Flight Controls Option 2
Left Stick: Altitude/Roll
Right Stick: Look/Turn/Decoy (Push)

Sound complicated? It’s not really… you’ll have your Southpaw when you’re runnin’ & gunnin’ and that’s about all you really need to worry about. Legacy players, on the other hand, are forgotten about once again. But keep playing COD4 and you’ll be just fine… Legacy players aren’t really missing anything here, in my humble opinion.

However, if you’re a die hard fan of Quake and you need your Legacy controls, you’ll find that it’s fairly accessible via a modded controller. Vehicle combat isn’t perfect when using a Legacy mod, but you’ll be able to manage nonetheless.

    gees another waste of a game i would have played. Cant believe it doesnt have legacy. Quake 4 had it so i thought that this would for sure. Oh well time to go shoot myself.

    I know, I was also surprised…

    At least this will save you a few bucks though. I know you’re a big fan of Quake, so my apologies for the crummy news :(

    @ ELuSiVeMiTe

    Unfortunately, I personally checked this game out myself and there is no in-game option for Legacy controls…

    As Mclovin said, Quake 4 had Legacy, but Enemy Territory does not. :(

    I’m just disappointed that the PS3 port seems to be such crap. I’ve got this on PC and enjoy it, and was hoping to pick it up for my PS3, but I don’t like it enough to pay $60 for some gimped port.

    Maybe if it drops to $40 in a month. :-P
