Left-handed mode? (gun on left, HUD on right)

I'm left-handed and think it would be the best thing in the world if Destiny not only had a left-handed button control scheme, but flipped the gun and HUD to make it feel 100% natural. It would also make the experience feel more like riding a bike for the first time, would be possible to add a feature like this to such a game?

  • This one of the subtle features that I enjoyed from the UT games. You could also change your HUD color, scale, and opacity levels. I like little touches like this, and I am also left handed.

    • This feature is implemented in some valve games, counter strike source that I know of. As I understand, it works like a mirror.

    • That's a great idea. I'm left-handed as well. But, I've grown used to right handed.

    • To make a real left handed mode they need to create a left handed controller. For example a lefty xbox controller. The bumpers/triggers stay the same but perhaps their function in-game is flipped. Right stick, A, B, X, Y buttons get moved to te left. D-pad and left stick go to the right.

        how long has it been? - old

        While I'm left handed, I've always played on the right side, even in Unreal Tournament 3 when they have me the option, I stuck with right sided. But, I do hope that Bungie throws subtle things like that into the game.

        I occasionally use my left hand. I once used both, it got a bit messy.

      • Sounds like a legitimate thing they could do. Maybe have to buy a left handed controller

        • I brought this up months ago and think it should be addressed. As far as customization goes it should be an option.

          With Bungie touting that each Guardian will be your own and very customizable, it would be a shame not to. It's about time that it has been implemented further. The new Wolfenstine just announced that you can hold your gun left handed.

        • Seems like a waste of time, really. I tried using the left-handed control system once - southpaw - and I absolutely couldn't do a thing.

          • If it would be available, I think that for lefties that have played other right handed shooters, it might be a little strange and not right. It may put you at a disadvantage.

            • That would be cool. I'm not a leftie myself, but I know several people who are and would thoroughly enjoy this.

              • I shoot left handed, but even so I've gotten so used to right handed shooters.So, I don't think I'd do it.

                It'd definitely be a welcomed addition to the game. And I don't think it's a difficult thing to do, either.

              • This actually sounds like a great idea to have in-game for left handed people to play or even right handed people!

              • In cs you can change your gun to a left handed view quite easily, doesnt seem to hard to impliment it, its just some rerangment of a few hud icons, or just keep them in the same spot, if the layout is still okay.

              • Started a new topic: Left-handed mode?(2 Replies))

              • I would love this personally, as a lefty myself (see username). I don't really know how this would be dealt with from a design standpoint. I have heard other game developers kind of allude to why it's hard to do left or multiple-handedness in first person games. But I would love this in Destiny as yet another way to make your character feel your own and unique. I've always wondered what it's like as a right handed person to play first person shooters since the finger they use on the controller triggers is the same one they would be using on a real gun in real life.

                This would be a pretty sweet feature. Also this may be feedback, but if suggest moving this over to #Destiny, it would get more discussion and also others who feel the same.

                • Why would being left handed change the HUD around?
