Think about how few muscles control your thumbs, versus how many muscles control your whole hand, wrist and arm. This is why aiming with a mouse is so much more precise than with thumb sticks.
If Dust didn't have aim assist controller users would have very little chance against kb/m users and even still some of the best players in the game are on kb/m
I play while sat next to a friend at times. They alternate between both, and the whole strafing with kbm being superior is a lie. I'm sure some people can strafe faster with kbm, but when I've played with my friend, they strafe much faster using a controller (even though they're a PC gamer usually). Controllers have the added bonus of actually being able to hit people when they're strafing. It's really quite challenging to strafe, track someone else strafing and shoot accurately using a mouse.
Taking away aim assist would make the strafing situation more of a level playing field for kbm users.
I've even started using my broken controller for cqc at times (which has killed my kdr!) because using kbm sucks so much.
As for tanking, I have both mouse and controller set up. I use the keyboard for moving, controller for moving the turret and mouse for actually shooting (and to move the turret small amounts). I don't know anyone who uses exclusively kbm for it because it requires moving the mouse a lot more than when you're using regular guns.
I have a coffee table set up for my mouse, but put the keyboard on my knee. It's not the most comfortable, but since my right hand side hates me, it's less uncomfortable than a controller for extended periods of time! |

Using Dust's native mouse support sucks and some of what you said may be true considering that. However, there are many ways to get around CCPs terrible native support with gaming mice and macros. There are even devices that trick the PS3 into thinking a mouse is a controller giving the user best of both worlds.
Also, I never said keyboards strafe faster than DS3 (though there is a debate about that) I said keyboards can sprint strafe which is very, very, very difficult on a DS3. And while straffing with a keyboard a mouse user can have better aiming precision.
And on precision I have known many players that use DS3 most of the time but use kb/m when sniping and forge gunning because the precision aiming of a mouse can not be matched with a controller.
If I had the money for gaming mice or xim, I'd get it just to make it easier to play.
If aim assist is on, the ds3 is superior when aiming and strafing. And also, aiming at someone who is strafing is easier with aim assist on a controller. I can strafe as fast as I can, and still die in a second to most users. Unless I'm always against gaming gods, aim assist is superior to all.
I'm the only person I play with regularly who is almost exclusively a kbm user, everyone else only uses it for sniping and forge gunning. I won't pretend that it doesn't have the upper hand there! But it's literally the only time mouse is better. |
