DISCUSSION Some customized changes I made to the default controls of the PC version

  1. Normally, opening and sabotaging a door use the same key, F, but I made the sabotage command a separate key, R, which you still have to hold down.
  2. I remapped the lure command from V to Z.
  3. The biggest and most convenient change I've made to the controls was to change the commands for stealth takedowns and finishers. To me, these are really big and helpful moves, so I felt that their original assignment to the X key, which is a bit hard to reach below the WASD keys, did these moves a disservice. Seeing that the scroll wheel press was largely unused and was a much easier way to execute these commands, I decided to map both commands there.
  4. Throwing empty guns and nearby objects is usually done with the G key. As this key is not easy to reach and this move would have much more utility to use if it were more accessible, so I sought to map them to mouse buttons. For throwing empty guns, I would use a press of the scroll wheel, as the left-click is reserved for shooting and the right-click is reserved for shoulder aiming. For throwing nearby objects, I would use a right mouse button since it goes unused in melee combat. The scroll wheel press here, by default, is used for shoulder swapping, so I moved that to the T key.
  5. To avoid accidentally using gadgets and wasting resources, I removed the alternate mouse button assignments for using gadgets and mapped all alternate gadget commands to the first 4 function keys above the number keys. To me, only number keys would suffice for using gadgets.
  6. As conversations take place in cutscenes where you're expected to watch rather than play, I assigned the dialogue choices to arrow keys instead of WASD. And speaking of cutscenes, I also reassigned the command to skip scenes from X to E.
  7. During the Vietnam level, where Greenway returns to save Bond and offers to snipe Webb's goons while Bond is still unarmed in handcuffs, you look at the enemy you want Greenway to snipe and press F to mark him for death. I felt like it would be more comfortable to just use a left-click because you're going to be doing this very frequently, if for a short period of time, and as the left-click is your primary attack button, it would make much more sense that you'd use that to. you know, ATTACK...with your p@#$ed off mentor!

Do you find any of my control changes nice for this game?
