New to ArmA series

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,i'm new to ArmA series and i just Purchased ArmA 3 yesterday and it is AWESOME as it means..very realistic Animations,gun sounds,graphics,etc..but i've a question..i find it so hard to play the game because of the default controls setup..so can anyone tell me the best or at least a better controls setup?

It may seem as good idea to rebind all the controls but once you get used to them a little, you'll find thei're quite intuitive. Each to their own but I'd really suggest just playing around and remembering them

Move Mouse Left/Right - Turn Left/Right

Move Mouse Up/Down - Look Up/Down

Left Mouse Button - Fire

Right Mouse Button (Hold) - Zoom/Hold Breath/Lock Target

Right Mouse Button - Iron Sight (Optics)/ Normal View Toggle

Middle Mouse Button - Perform Default Action / Show Action Menu

Mouse Wheel Up/Down - Select Previous/Next Action

W - Forward

2xW - Sprint (until you release W)

D - Strafe Right

S - Back

2xLeft Shift - Toggle Walk / Run

Z - Prone

X - Crouch

C - Stand

Q - Lean Left (2xQ Lock Lean Left)

E - Lean Left (2xE Lock Lean Right)

Tab - Next Target

Space Bar (Hold) - Quick Command

2xSpace Bar - Toggle Commanding Mode

Well I've played since OFP and I prefer the default controls, only a few keys I change (Gear on G for example).

Many keys are wrong/not in that manual tho because it's not for ArmA 3.
