I love abuse except for one element: I don't like having to move with 
my left hand on the keypad and my right on the mouse.. I'm not 
ambidextrous.. if there was a way to change the movement setup
it would add major points to the game..

All Right!

Glad to know I'm not the only Abusers around here.  Hmm...The real gripe I
have with Abuse, rather--two gripes, are no Joystick/Joypad support and
um..lack of music.  The latter, I can live with.  Actually, the lack of
music is a great idea...so It's really one gripe.  Just me, but I like my
action games with a joypad, not a keyboard...damn!  Jump...no...
c**p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! f****** thing!

but then I'm just blabbering my mouth off at minor things, which are of no
use to you...hehehe

CMStr
Abuse--the game-- runs well within families...

Well .. ugh... you could put your mouse mat on the left hand side of
the keyboard, perhaps ...

Neither am I, and it works fine...

In any case, if you think about it, there's really no other way to do the
control, so having an option to change the movement/firing setup would be
rather pointless. Except for remapping the keyboard keys, anyway.
