This is for the people who would like to play here again but cant.

In my case, the question if yes or no, this is how it goes:



Well I do, at least a little, the bad feeling at the end with terrible matches. Those 12 v 12...or CW, then FP

Not to mention the few good times I had in the past here.

My hand is not healing, in fact it is getting worse, since I use my finger daily in various activities.

This was fun, maybe I might get an operation or something in the future.

Have a good time, well intentioned people, because this was another great thing about MWO, part of its community.

But the few, the rest, the ******* who claim everyone has to have a thick skin on everything, can look somewhere else.


A long time with this and now to the trash. Well karma finally got away with it.

I miss it, but the 100+ ping from SEA, NA to EU servers keep me away. T_T

Not sure what you mean, but it sounds like you can't play because you don't have a choice.

Hope you heal up.

If you still want to enjoy games I'd recommend skyrim (activate cheats/make mods if you have to so as to balance it out against needing more time (perhaps give yourself a faster health scaling or something, if you want I can make one for you)) or for less frantic stuff perhaps a turn based game like xcom 2.

Other than that, the 6 cer large supernova 1 that moltenmetal played is actually usually a very relaxing mech to play. Requires hand stability rather than abrupt motions if you're doing it right. Imo anyways.

Play a Streak or LRM boat - if you can at least use 1 Hand and try out if a Joystick works better for your Hand and map anything urgent to the Buttons.

Get Well!

I am handicapped and play one handed !!! I have a friend that we made a soft rubber key cap for his prostetics !!! He playes MWO as well and is as good as any other average player. If someone tells you to "get GuD", tell them to take the one handed challenge: take blue painting tape and completely tape your dominant hand closed and play a day like that......if you are right handed, only use your left hand and the right is one unit.......try it guys and then, tell us to "get GuD".......

If PGI would allow fully programmable flight sticks, you could play MWO one handed with no major issues. If we add rudder pedals, the flight stick is not only a lot easier but a lot more fun. I play left handed becuase my right hand is not functional; it can be done !!! Heck, I compete and write articles for handicapped shooting for magazines and compete, one handed in many matches in a great many shooting organizations.

You should try it ! It's a hoot !!! In golf, when they ask me what my handicap is I answer: "yes."

Could probably beat them with one arm tied behind your back I'd wager.

which hand? if its your mouse hand, maybe replace buttons with stomp switches on the floor. keyboard hand maybe get you a throttle controller (like the ch pro throttle). you might still be able to play with the right gear.

I wouldn’t feel too bad— most people still can’t play the game even with two good hands.

Seriously though, that sux. Can you play any games?
