Options worth having

The options menu was rebuilt around three pages: Video, Sound and Controls.

Rebind anything

Every action now has two key slots, a primary and an alternate, and either can be rebound from the Controls page:

• Click a slot, press the new key, done.
• Rebinding a key that’s already in use is caught as a conflict.
• Slots can be cleared.
• Rebinds are saved, and apply everywhere straight away.

The action list follows the original’s controls: move, look, jump, primary and secondary attack, reload, use, walk, crouch, a key for each weapon slot, fast weapon switch and more. Even “Change Character” is now an action you can rebind instead of a hard-wired /.

Sound

Projectile and explosion sounds now go through the game’s audio mixer, so the effects volume and mute options actually reach them.
