How customizable is the control layout? I'm wondering because I'm a left-handed player, and I prefer to use the Numpad to move with my mouse on my left (the buttons on the mouse are inverted, of course). Is this possible in MechWarrior Online? I know I'm a minority when it comes to gaming (but so are Mech simulators! We have something in common, eh?), but I'd like to at least hear an answer. I won't complain if such an option doesn't exist, and I'll be very happy if it does. So there's no loss if you've all made up your mind. Thanks for making such a great game!

It is essentially fully customizable. And no you'll never see 'Press Start' on any screen.

This is brilliant haha. Straight from the devs on MWOnline

Here's the latest screenshots from ingame, each mech will have a unique cockpit as well. It's looking good.

Loved the Mechwarrior games - still have the game disks somewhere along with the big manual with all the back story / mech descriptions and weapon loadouts etc

Will defo look into this once it's up and running!

I don't see why, they're completely two different things.

One is an FPS that happens to be in a tiny mech. The other is a Mech Simulator that has more than just WASD for movement and some jump jets.

Same stuff as in the screenshots, except as in-game video

Raven?

One of my old clan mates used to play Raven all the time, he was awesome with it and extramely frustrating to play against.

EDIT: GFX look a bit like FO3.
