I don't want KB/M support to get an advantage, I want it because the DS3 is horrid for FPS. The L2 & R2 are so spongy and unresponsive it makes busting a out a quick nanohive, changing weapon and throwing grenades a sluggish and fiddly affair. The sticks aren't great either and L3 & R3 feel like an effort. I find the DS3 so poor it breaks the immersion I should feel when I'm playing. I can't just press the button safe in the knowledge that it's going to do what I want it to do.

I'm from a PC background so I welcome mouse and keyboard support, but I mostly play shooters on xbox these days and I even use a 360 controller to play Killzone. The 360 controller never lets me down when I'm in a tight situation, but on DUST the DS3 lets me down repeatedly.

I'm not going to 'adapt, die or quit', I want to play this game and if I'm to have fun playing it and play it for the longhaul I'm going to need a way better peripheral than the DS3. My 360 controller won't work with DUST so it looks like KB/M is my only option and I won't be the only one that feels this way.

So CCP when can we play with mouse and keyboard?

When can we play with MOUSE AND KEYBOARD

LOL

I guess I'm going to have to learn how to play a shooter with a mouse and keyboard, otherwise I'm going to get destroyed.

LOL zup cargo. funny running into you here!

Anyways, personally, using the keyboard and mouse is more of a hassle than it sounds. I like the controller simply because it allows a player to use it in any position. when i game im usually laying in my bed. whereas, for kbnm you HAVE to be sitting down and your hands in that uncomfortable (for me) position. bottom line, its not just about better or worse, its about comfort.

Are controller users and KB+M user going ot be mixed in together in the same matches?

IF so, thats going to seriously suck for those that prefer the controller due to KB+M being far a superior method of control with better reactions.

They should be kept apart imo as if they're mixed together, the controller players are going to just grow tired of getting headshotted time and time again and pretty soon they'll just move on to another game, this shouldnt happen CCP.
At least include the option to play in controller/KB+M only lobbies.

Wow and i was so close to buying the mercenary pack, but now that i saw this thread i dont think i will. I dont feel like investing money on a game where im going to get my ass handed to me just because some players have an advantage.

bulshit, the mouse is going to be locked to the same turning speeds as the controller. didn't you notice that small faster suits and turn thier head faster? That's by design. CCP is going to make it so when you want to swing around with the mouse to quickly kil someone behind you you have to wait as you slowly turn around, it'll be fine.

MAG 4ever yo.

I didn't think about the comfort factor. I do much prefer console controllers for that very reason, so I can slouch and lay down while playing!

its not just about turn speed. there are other factors too like accuracy and precision. more specifically, even if the turning speed is locked, it is still easier for a kbnm player to hit the intended target

Keyboard/mouse will still be more accurate. The issue is not as much with in-game turning restrictions as it is with joysticks can't aim for shite. I can't wait to see K/M support, and by the way, great work CCP! If you guys keep this up, dust could be a great game.

I can aim just fine with a DS3. It's called practice. You PC players should try it. In any case, if the M/K and DS3 players are mixed, then the balance of the game has been destroyed. You can counter a players equipment and tactics, but a DS3 player will never be able to overcome the point & click capabilty of the mouse.

Yeah, I practiced KB/M my whole life and I dont really feel like starting from scratch. I'm looking forward to support, because I just feel like DS3 (or controllers in general) are too clumsy. Its like giving a surgeon a rusty knife. Even the best surgeon will have problems dealing with it.

Its nice of you to assume things I didn't even say. Lets break it down for you, shall we.

I don't want the game to be unbalanced. I see and accept the fact that KB/M is faster and more precise compared to a controller, but I'm pretty sure the guys at CCP know all that. Thats why I'm sure they have a plan to balance them.

Looking at your last sentence, I get the feeling that you don't want anybody als but hardcore console gamers to play this game. What is the problem with making it more accessible to others as well? CCP announced that they would give the option to chose between controller and KB/M, and as a PC player (shooterwise) I'm more appealed and accustomed to the whole KB/M setup. Just deal with it.
