I use it very situationally. @person who said it's for 20 apm new-noobs, you're absolutely wrong. everything is preference. I have 200+ apm and use camera hotkeys, control groups, 95% scroll-speed.. but every once in a while I find it's convenient to drag my screen with my middle mouse-button as it's very precise and useful when you want your camera to be "just right". If you don't have a high scroll speed though, there probably isn't a reason to use it.

as far as mechanics goes though, this should NOT be your main way to navigate the map. Your main way to navigate should always always always be the Minimap, and camera hotkeys / army hotkeys.

Don't think I could ever get used to that tbh. I remember back in the days boxer used the keyboard arrows for some reason. ^^

I never used to use it because my mosue simply had a terrible middle click. My new one has a nice one though and i use it situationally. Usually only when stuff is happening at my natural. Easy to go between the main and nat quickly with it.

The only thing i miss from C&C games is the Right-Click scrolling. It's so super fast.

It was good, because you were able to scroll with any speed, slow or fast, and speed was not fixed by parameter in game options. Just scroller, that increases intensity of that right-click scroll.

In sc2 we have "grab and move", that was uncomfort for me after playing much in C&C. So I've maxed out scroll speed from middle mouse button


This is something I missed for a ling time when I came from RA3 to SC2. It made the interface seem so clunky, somehow. SC2 had a lot of tools for you to reposition the camera, like location keys, drag scroll, keyboard scroll, edge scroll, but in RA3 all I ever needed was click and drag with the right mouse key, letting me move at any speed to any point on the map.

I did this from the beginning because I was used to moving the camera by holding down a mouse button and "shoving" the camera around with the mouse. Granted it became a problem when I started going across long distances over the map using mouse3, but using the minimap in general is something I'm pretty bad at.
I prefer using that technique over side scrolling because it gives me the ability to decide the speed myself and since I have high mouse sensitivity I can move the camera as fast as maxed out side scrolling does. It doesn't matter anyway, use what you're comfortable with. I guess if you're at a level were it actually starts to matter you are probably worrying more about your upcoming code S match.

This is how I control my camera, but I can understand that it's kinda weird. Most people are used to edge scrolling 'cause it's been common in games for forever.
