Hi, Yeah, I know Tomb Raider is technically a third-person game, but because I can't see the screen I tend to lump it in with the first-person games because the mechanics are similar. Anyway, I simply wanted to point out I have played a number of mainstream games where w moves the character forward and s moves the character back, and since I haven't played swamp in a while I just assumed it used similar keyboard commands as other FPS and third-person games I have played in the passed. Sorry, about my mistake. Guess I should refresh my memory before opening my mouth and inserting my foot.
