Nope iam lucky to still have all my limbs attatched. You do pretty well too dont you ? Maybe you could provide tips for other people on how to play good with one arm and a subsection with a sticker that contains all your tips could be done. That would be awesome :D . As people run searches on the subject they will find you. Maybe you could learn shooting with the joystick and using the cooliehat for movement. How does aiming with the joystick work, if you pull all the way back, does he pull the wapon down /or up if reveresed and it stays there, or does it flip back to the center position when the movement stops ?

Yah well thats why there should be a dedicated topic on the forum. As other users run a search on the subject they will run into this forum eventually. Even if they wont join pr you can still discuss the subject.

Although I don't have one arm, like I have explained, I don't have much feeling in my left hand, so I use a Logithech Mx Revoulution mouse. It has plenty of customizable buttons and used with the uberoptions ap you can make it do pretty much anything you want.
It's a bit expensive (about 55 pounds uk), but what price can you put on being first to the kill?
I would seriously reccomend this mouse to you, or anybody regardless of weather you have just one arm or two.
Here's a pic of the way I have customized mine.

Damn Lexus, that's hardcore stuff right there. Hmm maybe I should get such a mouse, then I could do something... pleasing with my left hand meanwhile ;)

Ive got an earlier version of that mouse and I can recommend it to anyone.
Ive had it nearly 3 years now, and the batteries still last as long as when I bought it ( ie forever! )
Great mouse - and although its expensive, its worth every penny in the long run.

Amazing how you are doing so well in the game with that handicap.
I just took a look at that image of your control settings, now I ask myself how you manage to jump with the space bar while having your hand on the mouse to move forward ? How do you get over walls ? And you also choose the z key to go prone. Isn't it important to hit the ground instantly sometimes ?
As I already said, it's amazing for me how well you are doing in that game. Respect !

to jump i just whack the space bar the best i can and i cant go prone in combat so im not a instant prone "nub" i crouch and kill them b4 they can hit z them selfs usually or die most of the time a instant prone will give me a free head shot as there head drops right to there chest level as i fire.

Another thing I tried once was to tape fine fishing line across each corner of my monitor so that the point they crossed lined up perfectly with the crosshairs when sights were raised.
That way I did'nt need to raise my sights.
It worked perfectly, but I took it off as I felt I was cheating a little bit, and my wife said it was sad that I had become so obsessed with a computer game, and I should perhaps try going out into the real world once in a while, and stop believing that project reality is 'real life'.
Women, they will never understand!

I have though taken a few of her comments on board, and have now learnt to stof straiffing from side to side while watching tv, because of possible snipers!

Hey Travis, you could buy something like this too: Footime Foot Mouse

Obviously you wouldn't want to use the mouse part of it, but the buttons could come in handy

There was a guy on TG for a while who did a lot of commanding. Was in a clan... can't put a name on it.

He only had 1 arm, but did a decent job as commander.

I played with OneArmWally also on an Australian server, I think he was based in the US.

He gave the squad a short-run down of his life story. Lost his arm in a car accident. Plays with his foot.

Haven't seen him in a while but he was pretty good, regardless.
