There were, however, lots of people who complained about it on the forums -- in many such cases having no proof that the person was even using KB/M and were simply looking for a scapegoat on which to blame their losses.

This loud, moblike behavior resulted in the KB/M emulation being utterly destroyed in Uprising to the point it was useless. It would be a fairly good case study on how uneducated, emotional player behavior can directly harm a games design.

Even after KB/M was nerfed into uselessness, you still had people complaining about it -- just further proof that it was never anything more than an emotional scapegoat and not a real problem.

Chromosome's KBM implementation was only accepted because it was in a console game. No PC gamer would accept the limitations that have always been present as far as mouse input in Dust.

I'm a PC gamer. Your point is defeated thusly.

They tend to do this already with Fallout 4, at least with regards to the XBox and PS4. The PC gets an earlier beta patch o believe.

With Rocket League, which has cross play with PC and PS4 since release, I assume they just use Steam names. It didn't seem to be a big deal. How they handle FPS cross play, if it is done at all, should be interesting. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.

In the case of Dust it would theoretically work because you're not seeing PSN/XBL/Steam ID's, you're seeing your character name which is on CCP's server. And thats usually the best way of making it work. Store game-specific names on game-specific servers. Regardless, I'm happy that MS is killing their closed network policy. It was absolutely ridiculous. This is a positive and endearing message brought to you by Himi.

It was absolutely ridiculous. This^ XBL and PSN names shouldn't even matter. When you first log in the game should tell you to make a network ID and that should be used to login and connect to other players. With this you can theoretically play your character at your friend's house on a Xbone and later go home and play with that same character on a PS4/PC/whatever. Tyrant King, Opus Arcana

The most popular version of Dust that ever existed still disagrees with you. Don't really know why your argument is still made when it's been proven it isn't the case. Proper aim assist and character movement speeds solves everything. Your argument would only apply to raw input vs unassisted aim. This is a positive and endearing message brought to you by Himi.

Proper aim assist and character movement speeds solves everything. But this version has horrible KBM support because they didn't want it to be an advantage over the largest portion of the population that uses controllers. For many PC players, I am sure they would resent having to use controllers to be competitive. I have yetvto know any FPS that has been able to create an even playing field. It seems that one method of control always has to be significantly inferior. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.

Raw mouse input and un-capped rotation speeds are the law of the land in PC gaming. Any limitation whatsoever is usually a guarantee of the game having a very limited player base like Hawken did. The only way to allow console players to compete with PC players using mice with un-capped rotation speed would be to have such heavy-handed aim-assist that both console and PC players would be disgusted by it.

Himiko Kuronaga Fatal Absolution Bleeding Sun Conglomerate 6	Posted - 2016.03.17 02:53:00 - [24] - Quote I'm a PC gamer and I'm completely OK with the way the mouse behaved in chromosome. Well not completely, it could always use improvements but the same could have been said for controller support back then as well. Mostly it was an issue of frame rate and hit detection and it messed with both equally. Prat or not, the point is sound. So I'm not sure what more I can add to the argument than what has already been added. I preferred KB/M for sniping/forging, and I preferred controller for everything else because it allowed you to match speeds and hook your opponent more accurately in strafe battles. The system worked, and the top players pretty much all agreed it did as well. Am I the gaming messiah? I mean, you can call me that, sure, but not really. I do happen to be standing on the correct end of this argument though. This is a positive and endearing message brought to you by Himi.
