Now I'm right-handed, but my brother (and what, 20 - 30% of the population?) is left handed... Not a problem with PC based FPS games, but, Grrrr!??!?!, what's with the current crop of xbox and 360 games not offering left handed (i.e. swap thumbstick/triggers) contols?

Just got Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, and was looking forward to killing/being killed by our kid, but hey, no effing left handed setup, so no sale for UBISoft to my brother! Do they not realise how much potential custom they're losing by this practice?

Anyhow, rant over, damn good game otherwise.

I'm surprised at that, I've never played an FPS which didn't allow you to swap thumbsticks going back as far as the original Time Splitters on the PS2

Now I'm very probably wrong but.......I've got one of those Gamester pads that were marketed at the time as the Halo Pad? I know you can program that to change all the button options around so you can have the same reload button, the same map button etc etc whatever game you're playing........might be worth having a look if they do something with the stick option?
