Ok, well think for a moment. Wolfenstien: Where do you hold a pistol?
It can be directly infront, among other things. Where do you hold a
submachine gun? Directly infront.
Now, shotgun. Where would you hold on of those? Propped against your
shoulder to brace against the recoil.. Rocketlauncher? Balanced on
your shoulder...
And anyway, according to Paul Steed the weapon models have been highly
optimised so there only is a right hand side of htem, they were going
to have a left and right handed mode, but can't cause they're keeping
poly counts as low as possible.
If you *really* want, it'd be possible to move it into the center of
the screen, but you'd only have half a gun..
