Tips and Tricks

here are some key-bind related tips/tricks... feel free to post any game related things you've found here!
  • N zooms the mini-map in and out.
  • F shoots flares from any vehicle. However, just because someone locks onto you doesn't mean they fired yet!
  • The V key will zoom in most vehicles. The C key is also the third-person view.
  • The middle mouse will switch the WC heli in and out of stealth mode.
  • The G key will drop landmines when playing the anti-vehicle role.

Re: Tips and Tricks

Yeah, I'm gonna work on some loadouts today. I'll post it when I'm comfortable with it.

EDIT:
Here is my first version loadout. Note that I do not bind the N (zoom the mini-map) key on the n52, I have this bound on my G5 mouse.

Re: Tips and Tricks

Sorry to bring this thread back from the grave but I'm thinking about getting one of these n52's. Is this the only/best one of this kind of device or is there other, newer models out there?

Is it fairly easy to get use to?

Thanks.

Re: Tips and Tricks

I found the N52 to be really awkward at first, and it took about a week to get used to, but after that it's gravy. You will either love it or hate it.

I also have an Ideazon Merc that I really like as well and I alternate between the two depending on what I'm playing. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823161023)

I would love to try one of these....

Replaces the DPAD with a nub, which is my only real gripe with the N52.

Re: Tips and Tricks

Thanks for the info JAMerica! After looking at those two and doing a little more research, I think I'll wait a bit and get this when it comes out:

Looks promising...no?

Re: Tips and Tricks

The n52 takes a short time to get used to. having the 1-9 keys on the D-pad really improves weapon switches. The hardest thing to get used to was the space bar (thumb button).

Trust me... you'll love it.
