=========================================================================== =========================================================================== CONTENTS Section 1: Introduction Section 2: Controls List -Movement Controls -Weapon Controls -View Controls -Targeting Controls -Cockpit Controls -Communication Controls -Mission Controls Section 3: Credits =========================================================================== Section 1: Introduction =========================================================================== This Movelist is a quick guide to the controls of MechWarrior 3. It may be confusing at first (almost the whole keyboard is used!), but persevere and you'll surely get the hang of it. Me, I'm still confused.:) Even though these controls can be obtained from the options menu, I still hope this guide could assist you in your mastery of MechWarrior 3. I'll keep this section short for now and will include future updates here. Happy blasting!
