Agreeing with Vetis Cato.
Personally, I'd prefer not to see M&K in Dust at all. Let's check out two ways to introduce them:
1) Perfectly PC-like use in an FPS. People using M&K start dominating the ladders, games and everything. Joypad users ragequit, game loses players.
2) Nerfed to be on an equal ground with joypads. M&K users ragequit at not having the advantage expected. Game loses players.
Ergo, better leave that can of worms unopened, however, CCP have said multiple times it's coming, so I guess there's nothing much to do about it. |

I have friends who routinely play PC games and are AWESOME at them.
My console of choice is a PS3.
Before getting Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine for myself on PS3, I went to a friend's house and played the game on PC. He let me play it using KB+M, and a 360 gamepad. Using console style controls, I was keeping up with competitive PC gamers better than my friend could when using KB+M, and he had more familiarity with his control scheme (I'm used to PS3 controller, not 360) as well as more experience in the game. Why? Because I'm good with console aiming.
If it's done WELL, KB+M isn't an unfair advantage. It's an alternative option.
Newsflash, Third Person Shooters are great to play with a joypad.
With First Person Shooters, on the other hand, the advantage is hugely on the M&K side. |

Bigger newsflash: The control schemes are only minimally different and it's more about the specific game mechanics than the perspective from which gameplay is viewed. DUST plays more like War for Cybertron and Space Marine than Call of Duty and Battlefield. EDIT: Swap "Space Marine" for "Syndicate" and I've had similar results, except that Syndicate doesn't have PvP combat, so it's less relevant. I was still able to outscore experienced KB+M players while using a gamepad and layout that are both slightly different from my usual.
I guess the only thing is to wait and see. I have a usb M&K nearby, and will check how CCP deals with this.
But I don't want to own people just because I have the hardware that is optional and is not used by 99% of PS3 population. That's far worse for me than the infamous "pay-to-win" potential that so many have cried about. |

I like my sofa, and I kill things just fine with the gamepad while in a semi-lying position. |
