Left Handed mode

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

Will it be possible to include a left-handed mode in BF1 just as many games like cs do. I don’t know but left handed mode feels more natural than its right counterpart

2

Isn’t that in the options?

3

I’m a leftie and i have no problems with what you mention… But in the options you can switch to other settings for leftie no?

4

Just turn your controller upside down

5

I think he’s talking about rendering the gun on the left hand side instead of the right?

6

I think he is to

7

Play in a mirror

8

Pro tip - stand behind your tv, and put the mirror where you usually sit.

9

Wouldnt that invert his horizontal aiming?

10

Yea, but this is the price you have to pay to get things catered to the 10%

11

This 100% should be in the game. I find it funny how a moderator would make fun of that kind of request. I’am right handed so I never even knew it wasn’t in, but good point OP. It should be in.

12

When I’m running if I barely move the left joy stick,I pause and the gun pops up, it is so annoying.

13

Just be right handed like normal people.

14

Lol

15

Lol multiplied by 2

16

You take your joystick out with you when you go running?

He wasn’t making fun of it - he was making a very valid statement about it as an addition to the game. It takes up programming and coding time that could be used elsewhere (on more important aspects of the game) to cater to an infinitesimally small number of people that would actually use that feature.

Just think of how many people you see play CS that never even touch the “left-handed” option.

It’s just as pointless as adding more “realistic” game mechanics for the insanely small niche of players that play BF for it’s “immersion”, when the vast majority just play for fun and could care less if it were realistic or not.

Having your gun rendered on the other side of the screen will do pretty much nothing but that - it would be a pointless addition that 99% of the playerbase wouldn’t even touch. Pretty much nearly ALL FPS games are made with gun models on the right-hand side of the screen - why add in an option to switch it that barely anyone would use “just for feels”?

10% of a playerbase isn’t a small number. Minorities don’t translate to “not worth”, because at the end of the day you could still be dealing with a large number.

There are always features left on the board that couldn’t be implemented. The question isn’t whether or not it’s worth it, but rather if there are other features that take presidence over it.

If it’s 10% of the players base that’s actually a lot of people. I highly doubt it’d take an heavy amount of time to have the weapon models rendered on the other side.

I heard that EA and Dice are trying to make BF1 a competitive game. Well, this option 100% has to be in the game. Go in CS GO and play with your gun model on the left if you are right handed, it’s disturbing really.

edit : That’s only 10% of the PC player base so it may not be that many people but I still think it’s a good option to have for the left handed players.

I was honestly just making a joke, lol. Weapons are almost in the middle of the screen anyway, not sure why this is a big deal to people.
