now, firstly, I understand this game is still in beta phases and little to nothing is final.

But, this game BEGS to be played with a keyboard and mouse....for this to be a CONSOLE SHOOTER you're required to be WAY too accurate, especially given what it is. Now, I'm assuming that this is just a beta thing and the mechanics will change and it's not about the kills and blah blah blah...

but for the game to be a first person shooter, and the primary objective to be shoot that, defend this, it just feels like a chore to play with a controller.

Too often will someone step side to side (or even when I do it) and no one hits anyone hardly ever. I've narrowed it down, the bullets are pretty much dead center with the dot for the assault rifle, sniper rifle, and sub-machine guns. Leaving the insanely powerful heavy machine guns to be more fit to console shooters.

My complaint...in the state the game is now, it just seems to prove the "KB/M master race" statement.

I don't know what's to come with this game. Maybe there will be more supportive roles. Maybe the mechanics will change. Maybe I suck at the game. But I've never been more frustrated with a game than I have this one. And often it's something outside of my control.

Once Keyboard and mouse support is added, you'll see what I'm talking about. They will dominate anyone using the standard dual shock.

Oh look, another KBM thread.

We're getting it. Just wait.

@Mavado,

I'm a good console player and I'm usually pretty great with the controller, but even I have problems with the controls here on DUST. It's not just him. It's the game.

This becomes more apparent where you have to be so damn accurate with the sniper rifle that you miss complete if you are off by even a single pixel. Also, the turn sensitivity is too high. This is a problem with the sniper rifle if you don't want to jerk the rifle too much.

It's called skill. Actually it's called "Sniper Rifle proficiency", it is literally a skill. EARN it! level up your Sniper Rifle Skill to V then start on The aforementioned skill and train it up as well. It's not the game, it's you and him.

I have not been able to look up the skill. What bonus does it give?

I do fine with controler but resently ive strated to screw about with the straffing mechanic to see if it is over powered iam testing it with scout and assualt i apologis to anyone who this might annoy but stats aint going to be recorded and iam trying the strafing thing from the point of veiw of the straffer to see which side iam on and well so far i dont think much of it while strafing i have killed 2 enemyies in a group of 6 trying to kill me at CQC this should not happen.

I prefer the controller for FPS games, but in this game I have found it very difficult to hit anything I am shooting at.

It is almost better to shoot from the hip instead of aiming, which seems counter intuitive.

I suggest that the shoot from the hip stay the same, but with some skill to tweak it, when you aim in, if you were close to the target when you aimed, it should auto aim you on target a little bit.

Don't go too far. It should be nearly UNDETECTABLE, but just enough that the good snipers can pick off merc after merc and the "OMG! HES RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!" aim in scenario result in better hits, not worse.

In summary, there is no reason to pull L1 and aim since you will hit the guy more often with shooting from the hip anyway.

Please dear jeebus DO NOT put any type of auto aim function into this game thus removing the skill that should be required to aim your own weapon.
