By your reckoning and that video, we are already in that category so how does AA help?

KB/M player - Their control scheme is already borked and gimped, so how does adding (albeit limited) AA on top of us help?

Bollocks.

It's very simple in tracking terms to the advantage of KBM. In a ds3 controller you have to cross the plane of zero to begin to move in the opposite direction. For a KBM you don't instantaneous left and right movement. crossing the plane of zero in dust is probably a few tenths of a second. Any veteran knows that's enough time to win that gun fight.

What on earth are you talking about? If you are talking about strafing here, you are utterly wrong as both control options can move at the exact same speed. You will have to forgive me if your fingers are too slow because the control system does not limit strafing, that's for sure.

Now granted KB/M does have the advantage in vehicles of having forwards and left/right directional movement at the same time for tanks. Controller has this for LAV with the accelerate / decelerate with the triggers. This is something that should be allowed for tanks as well as I do want equal terms.

Now if you are talking about aiming, it is all a matter of preference. I would agree that in an ungimped setting, the mouse offers a more precise aiming method but in DUST this is not the case. The Kb/M is gimped to hell and back. Aiming is very troublesome.

You will also notice that all of the top players in this game, in terms of PC fights OR in terms of the leaderboards - are ALL DS3 controller users. So before we start arguing specifics and the nuances of KB/M vs controller, we must remember that you cannot argue any points while any control system is nerfed / gimped.

Gotcha, AA is the Blue Turtle Shell of shooters. It's a tool for the unmotivated and unskilled to feel good about themselves, while eliminating the advantage that a skilled player has spent hundreds of hours developing. It has nothing to do with KBM vs DS3. And the solution for that effort/skill gap is via matchmaking, IF any solution is necessary. You can hop on almost any TF2/CS server and find the whole gamut of player skill, from 360 no-scopers to guys running into walls, and the populations of those games, ESPECIALLY for their age, is rather healthy. The idea that you need to balance for player skill, especially by unnaturally hampering one input while artificially enhancing another, is a fool's quest. But IF you must balance, it should be via matchmaking(while still occasionally throwing the lambs to slaughter and the wolves to pasture to avoid monotony of pace).

If everyone has the same AA in a console shooter (dust doesn't) then how is the guy who's skilled not going to kill those less skilled? In Destiny for example I have like a 2nd percentile KDR. Everyone enjoys aim assist, so...my 25 year old reflexes are better than the 16 year old's i'm mostly playing? I highly doubt it. The AA mechanics and the shooting mechanics overall are simply much more fine tuned and fluid. The top KDR in Destiny? like about 200 people have above a 3.0. In dust meanwhile where there is much less balancing for player skill? Reg in chrome held a 22.7 KDR it his peak and it was not uncommon for the very best infantry players like almighty and others to maintain above an 8 kdr. There's a ******* reason competitive games have noob tubes, and there's sound logic behind balancing for player skill. Oversimplifying things into saying that all AA = an iwinbutton is so lol it's pathetic.

Grease Spillett Bloodline Rebellion Capital Punishment. 518	Posted - 2014.11.04 22:23:00 - [15] - Quote Such as the scout suit of this past era, the logi of old, and the tank of tomorrow. But I can guarantee that in our human nature to feel superior such as having the largest most powerful alliance simply to show you are better than everyone else should always be the absolute goal of any game. Now how you handle this is a testament to your survival abilities. Spec into FOTM, Get AA, or KBM it doesn't matter. Veterans that play according to the ultimate goal of being number one will gravitate towards the stronger. I just don't understand why it even is an issue at all??? Unless your failure to adapt is the issue. Which is the point Zatara made via someone's video. My videos just illustrated that KBM is superior to the ds3 in all tracking shooters and twitch. Does anyone else believe that they can defeat an opponent with the same suit and weapon with a ds3 versus a controller in dust 514? And would you make a video?

The KBM's have been so fugged up over the last 18 months that it may as well be almost 'balanced' as far as making both incredibly difficult to aim. This is pretty much it. I have used a KB/M and a DS3 through two different times. When I first started when Aim Assist basically didn't exist, I used a controller. However, my controller must have been made for children with T-Rex hands because it was causing my big strong hands to cramp and hurt like hell. So I went KB/M. Huge improvement in feel as I was killing more people overall. It was both "wow, my hand doesn't feel like it is in a vice" and because the input was super screwed up. Aim Assist comes out and my KB/M is pretty much screwed compared to it. At around this time, I started playing other PS3 games and got a controller that didn't say "Contains materials known by the state of California to cause cancer" on it so I switched back. Seems to work a bit better. Nowadays I use a controller to shoot people and a KB/M to drive my Tanks. In truth, it feels about the same. If I would actually go into my sensitivity settings and screw about with the settings I could probably use my KB/M just fine but I am happy with how I play. I find myself believing that people that say "KB/M is so unfair in DUST!" are those that probably have not played with it for a long period of time. They are both pretty close, all things considered, if one sets sensitivity to as high as they can while still being able to control it. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

Using a mouse you do not need aim assist because it is easier to aim with your entire arm compared to aiming with only your thumb. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side.

Derpty Derp Dead Man's Game RUST415 632	Posted - 2014.11.05 22:56:00 - [29] - Quote If you limit the turn speed with a mouse, then the whole issue of m&k being better than controller goes away. Also I tried AA for the first time in a very long time just before 1.9... It makes certain weapons so much better than they should be. The game needs a way to determine who can and can't aim and give a boost to those who can't, because when someone who can aim uses AA it makes them better than they were, which is just not what AA is for. Of course that's probably impossible to calculate with any necessary amount of accuracy... So perhaps just tone it down to the point where the bullets don't home in on peoples heads, unless you're actually aiming at the guys head?
