I am all for cross platform in general, but not for a FPS. Not unless they can partition users based upon input method, where controllers are only against controllers and kbm against kbm. The distinction is too great and the (dis) advantage too great to want to play an FPS with controller users against kbm users.

I'm definitely against the concept of partitioning of different sets of users based on platform. We should be able to play against anyone at all that wants to play. If that means keeping it on PC, so be it. I personally have no problem with cross platform, even though the different input methods give certain advantages and disadvantages over each other. We had that with PS3, and I can't see that we wouldn't have the same thing with PC and, say, PS4. As long as we can still configure a controller (XBOX or DS) for the PC, I can't see a problem.
It would be unreasonable to expect obviously disadvantaged people to play against others with an obvious advantage. I wouldn't want to play against KBM players with a controller regardless of what medium I played, if there were no way to level the playing field.
Nor would I want KBM users to experience what they had in Dust by handicapping them so much that they, in turn, become the disadvantaged.
If you try and combine the two, bad things will happen. Why spend all that money on cross platform play just to alienate large chunks of your market? It doesn't make sense to me. It is the whole reason you don't see FPS cross platform play.
