Why not?

Because stubborn people might complain that others have better controls so you'll just dumb everyone down their level?

That's bad design that leads to crap like Call of Duty.

When this game's core design is based around fighting terrible controls, then your argument might hold weight.

More like, in the olympics we should take away anyone who is physically fit to be fair to those who don't bother to exercise.

I'd like to see where those numbers are coming from.

You never use? What are you typing with? And what did you click reply with?

That doesn't mean it has to be limited to gamepads.

That KB/M vs gamepad test is a good reason that KB/M should be promoted as a standard console accessory, since the gamepads are so much inferior in FPS gaming.

Bad controls is a problem, not an intentional challenge to overcome like you seem to imply.

Yup, but they aren't, thus there is no point in unbalancing the game.

/argument

or it will kill this game because as i stated before most people who play on console don't want to play on keyboard/mouse or else they would be playing on a pc.

You do realize your look and turn speed is capped by the drop suit you choose right? And that this means a mouse user won't turn faster than any other person in the same suit, right? And you also realize that there are no hotkeys that can be put in other than what the programmer allows, right?

Every time I turn around it's the same 2 arguments, and the console cowboys don't even realize that their primary complaint is already null and void due to the dropsuit balancing that's already been done.


Keep whipping the dead horse gentlemen, It'll keep you from noticing the free hookers & booze down at the saloon on main street.

Doesn't it just **** you off when someone uses the right tool for the job. Put down the screwdriver and hammer that screw in like a real man!

So, for YOU it's more "fun" to fight against an inferior (less accurate in your words) control scheme, than it is to actually play the game itself with an input scheme that allows you to do what you want more naturally? That's fascinating, but not terribly surprising considering how vastly different people's opinions can be.

I tend to favor games that have sensible interfaces which allow me to focus on the Yomi of the game and trying to out think my opponent. It may surprise you to learn that practiced skill with a DS3 controller will not net you much in life.

I play games on whichever platform I think suits them best, which is generally dictated by the user interface. FPS happens to be one of those game types I generally prefer playing on a PC, but I suppose 20 years of FPS experience using a particular control scheme is bound to make a person biased. That being said, if whatever form the KB/M support takes in this game feels awkward and unnatural due to some console concessions the devs have to make, I won't use it. I won't cry about it either. I will just accept it as a shortcoming of the game, but continue to enjoy a game that I hope lives up to all of the grand visions.

By the way, I actually use my DS3 controller on my PC when I play some games originally designed for consoles because KB/M feels awkward and inefficient for that game type, or just because the developers who ported the game did a terrible job mapping standard PC inputs to the game. Seems only right I should be able to do the reverse as well. :-)

That's a nice story, but i think you've been eating too much of your own wookie skat!

Kb&m spt has been confirmed by by CCP since February or before, but the beta began in the beginning of May i believe.

You have to win the war, before you can re-write history!

Because the industry is notably stagnating and refuses to move past Call of Duty?

Why does it have to be balanced? if KB+M gives any advantage everybody can use it, so it's your choice to use a less or better performing device when you have the option to do so...
