I have been playing dust 514 for a little over 2 years now, I can honestly tell you that keyboard and mouse have an extreme advantage over controller players. This is because they can aim slightly better with a mouse. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AIM ASSIST IN THIS GAME WHAT SO EVER. Anyone that tells you that there is, is lying. This myth of aim assist has been put out there to attract more new console players but it is a lie. The PC players are the ones who have spent the most money on this game and no one wants to upset them with a real aim assist. Personally I don't want it either, I don't need aim assist.

The real advantage is that the keyboard can speed strife, meaning they can hold down sprint while moving in any direction and controllers can not. The buttons for movement and sprint are on the same analog stick and cannot be unmapped. PC players will run circles around you ever time if you are using a controller. PC players will not admit this because they are always crying like babies to get an advantage in the game. EXAMPLE waaaaaaa nerf this nerf that. WAAAAAA this is OP that is OP.

Using m&kb in cqc is as effective [if not better] as DS3. Tested. Done it.

That's some good crack.

DS3 is king in CQC, and if you don't see that you are bad at this game.

If you include ranges between 2m and 20m (as some people do) then you are right.

If you conside CQC less than 2m or knifing distance, then you are wrong as they are roughly equal.
Properly tuned KBM's advantage comes from instant 180/360/720 turning ability which gives the potential to regain target half a second earlier.

Doing a 360 to acquire your target offers little advantage if once you acquire your target you get a bunch of blue shielding because hit detection is broken and the mouse doesn't have AA to hide it.

If that weren't the case, then yes, you'd be right, and it's the reason why I can use the mouse with the Mass Driver and Plasma Cannon and still be mildly effective. But no hit-scan weapon is better with a mouse than a DS3 in close range-medium range. Not in Dust.

I have to be honest I do feel that the PLC really favours KB/M over DS3. I may have become complacent in the game these days but its the only weapon I ever feel comfortable with using KB/M

I recall seeing you in the game a while back with a mass driver. Do you feel that this weapon also suits KB/M? I may have to give it a go.

Otherwise the only person I know of who can do good things with rifles and KB/M is funkmaster whale (Or how ever you spell his name) and I asked him, he runs with the bare minimal of sensitivity settings (basically limiting his controls but allowing accurate fire)
