Hi, I'm a PC gamer.

By PC gamer, I mean someone who puts in most of their gaming hours on a PC but still play some games on a Console.

Two things I think:
1) The PC and the Console are at equal footing.

2) I don't see a problem with using a mouse in Dust so long as game pad users are given auto-tracking (never to be confused with auto-aim) to compensate.

The first statement is a statement of fact given how technology and game development has improved over the decades. Before now, PCs were superior to consoles. Now consoles are able to play your movies, your games, browse the internet, and shop online. Practically everything a PC can do. The only difference is how they are upgraded.

I don't understand. Why do all the PC gamers say adapt or die. If they don't add Mouse and Keyboard the Eve players say they won't play DUST. Why can't the EVE players adapt to the consoles primary operating device. You might say it's a PC at heart and while I can't argue it isn't But the vast majority of ppl will not use mice and keyboard giving the minority the advantage.


Like you EVE players say. ADAPT OR DIE

You have to be kidding me! .. Demoting DS3 players to being nothing more than casual gamers, I find that offending in every way. So just because I dont want to have a M/K sitting in my living room, I wont get the full experience of the game. I could try to get the full experience, but would have my ass handed to me in every match I play.. no way, I rather not play at all. Dust is not the holy grail of FPS.. while I think its an interesting setup, being connected to EVE and all, its not gonna ruin my day if I dont get to play it..

What you are saying is that if anyone wanna compete with the big-boys you have to use M/K.. A control mechanism NOT native to the platform. Now I dont know what CCP has planed regarding M/K, but if the outcome is anything like you describe, I will not be among the players of this game.

My opinion on this M/K vs DS3 issue is clearly that all the PC FPS players who wants to play Dust cant or wont adapt to using a DS3. I've been playing FPS on consols for years and I dont see the problem at all. DS3 is the primary controller of the PS3, so use it, or go for the Sharp-Shooter (Move), other successful games like Resistance and Killzone have not supported M/K so why CCP feels obligated to do so, I dont know.

The game will never work if M/K and DS3 players are allowed to play in the same match. UnrealT for PS3 didn allow it either, simply because it will give and unfair advantage no matter how you view it. CCP can nerf M/K all they want.. and in the end PC gamers will whine about the M/K experience not being the same as a PC FPS experience. The only sane choice would be to not to include M/K at all, and let the game live within the restrictions of the platform.

When it comes down to the political game in Null-sec where the game gets SERIOUS you can bet the ones with assets on the line will be Adapting.


And by adapting I mean buying an Eagle Eye or configuring GIMX to give them every advantage they can get. You can scream, yell, whine, cry, and quit. In the end, it won't matter because it WILL happen.


So whether CCP implements KB+M or not, unless you stick to pub stomping you WILL face groups of people using it against you at some point.

This has been shot down more times than I can count. We're getting keyboard and mouse (it's been repeatedly promised and confirmed; for the next build, in fact), you can choose to use it or choose to use a controller. Everyone wins. Your tears taste delicious. You're welcome to stick to crappy shooters like Halo if you have trouble with the concept.
