Renegade takes Command & Conquer into first person as Havoc, a GDI commando, and plays on a standard WASD layout: A and D strafe while the arrow keys turn, C crouches, left Shift walks, and E does nearly everything else, from switches and ladders to climbing into a vehicle. The number keys pick a weapon class, 1 for handguns through 9 for mines and 0 for beacons. F swaps between first- and third-person views, Tab shows your objectives and Esc opens the EVA data link. These are the default keys listed in EA's retail manual.
