i wonder if anyone of you have ever seen anyone asking for controller support for a FPS game on the PC

Hi

Is there ever going to be options to be able to use mouse and keyboard on this game?

HOW MANY OF THESE THREADS MUST THERE BE?!

I bet you'll be able to migrate your character over to the PC version.

Google-fu for a minute and you'll see people asking for 360 support in a number of games, especially during beta phases.

Yes for vehicle control, not shooting. I had a 360 controller hooked up to my PC just for flying in bf3.

why do pc users have to act all high and mighty, and why do console users have to throw there doll out the pram?

no one and i mean NO ONE can suggest that they shouldnt have kb/m support. as long as its balanced and fair. that is the FPS mantra. fairness and a level playing field so that we can all test our skill at shooting. sure dust adds a new twist in it also shows our skill at fittings the right kit, and picking the skills. but its all about show casing abilitys. and to do that you have to have a level field.

PC guys and gals, please understand consolers just want it to be fair.

Consolers please understand that pc users were promised a medium.

A keyboard + mouse is cheaper then a dualshock controller.

Just sayin.


CCP supposedly have plans to bring the game to the PC after the 1-year exclusivity agreement, so they will need good kb/m support anyway.

Sorry console kiddies, but it's time to realize that computers are replacing the crappy, over priced, under achieving garbage known as consoles. Consoles just aren't what they used to be.

If this game were supposed to be fair, then why are there pure power skills in the tree? An increase in weapon damage by 15% or 25% is pretty significant which skews the fairness argument out the window. Combine that with off-map support in live, and it's even more of a problem. CCP hasn't built this game to be fair, I don't see why Keyboard and Mouse versus Controller needs to aside from the nebulous concept (and frankly one I don't care for) of making sure that a controller does okay because everyone has one.

Everyone has a USB keyboard somewhere. Hell, people pay premium for PS/2 keyboards these days, same with mice. You can't really find ball-based mice, so as long as you have a decent surface you're fine.

I suppose the bottom line is: CCP isn't building a fair game. Use the best tools available, don't hold yourself back to inferior input and adapt instead. Adding Mouse support and throwing it in against the rest of the playerbase may shift the way people play shooters in the future, and may afford the possibility of making the mouse a dominant input system for shooters.

Your argument is flawed. Sure there are certain skills that give advantages, but those advantages/skills are available to anybody with the inclination to build their character in any said appropriate manner. All games are fair provided that the same opportunities are provided to everyone. The current item-mall structure for example, would have great potential to unbalance the game. Because of the way CCP have designed it, it has not, which reflects quite aptly CCPs desire for a fair game.

Personally, I am against having KB/M introduced. It would be much simpler to have one platform for control and not worry about having to buy more hardware to be competitive in a console game.
Having said that I see no problem with it IF it can be made so that there is no advantage, other than a users personal preference.

Once CCP puts M&K in, you'll see the PS3 people leave in droves. It's that simple. Much too unfair, as we all know. Why have the game on PS3 if you're going to treat it like a PC game. They should have just started on PC if that was the case and not waste all of the console players' time.

this is a PS3 game NOT a PC game.

all kb/m would allow players to do is abuse the broken movement & aim in Beta already

Almost everyone has a mouse and keyboard. This is pretty comparable to your argument about skills being available. Mice and keyboards are DIRT cheap, and simple to use. If they were expensive like say the upcoming Razer Artemis, or a special peripheral specific to the game, then I'd be more sympathetic.

The game will be unbalanced in the sense that tenure will afford more opportunities for SP generation and ISK generation as well as coming out on top during missions. If a match were fair, then it wouldn't matter if you went in naked. This argument is analogous to what I argue about MMORPGs as well. If the games were fair in PvP, then someone who has no skills, no gear, and plenty of actual play experience, then it should not make a difference. The simple fact that Assault Rifle Operation gives you a -5% spread and kick per level up to 25% reduction is an indication that this is not the case.

Instead of clinging to a fairness argument that doesn't work because the game is NOT fair. (I accept that, I accept that this is how the game is built, much like I accept that APB:R is not a fair game either..) let's consider the whole "I don't wanna get it" mentality.



Because buying a $10 mouse is hard.. you had to go out and buy a $50 Dualshock 3 controller, or pay $80 for the Playstation Move Bundle. This is where I roll my eyes. It isn't about fairness for PS3 players, it's about a lack of willing to get up and get what works for the game. You probably have a USB mouse at home already, most people with computers do. If you're not willing to buy one, use that instead.

After managing to configure the move and shift my understanding of how it works, the Move is actually pretty damned good too. Sure the implementation is a bit wonky for DUST, but after a little bit I took it to Killzone 3 to put it through it's paces. Once configured, it's really an advantage there too. So why is it okay for the Move to be implemented side-by-side with a Dualshock 3, but not okay for a mouse and keyboard? Simple, the rivalry is much longer.

Hello everyone.

To keep you informed on this subject, KB&M support is coming. We currently plan to release it in the next major beta patch (build).
