No it doesn't. The weapon is not being exploited. If great players using a gun that actually takes skill to use is called an exploit, I have lost faith in humanity.

Tactical AR is being used as intended. It's a far to medium range rifle, it does it job. It's hard to use at close range. I see absolutely no problem with it. It has it's pluses and negatives just like every other gun.

I received a knock off controller that was sold through amazon. I naturally thought the dust controls were junk, until a friend of mine brought over an official PS3 controller that was bundled with his system. I've tested other 3rd Party PS3 controllers, and found out none of them really function well with Dust.

It's no use playing Dust514 unless you anticipate opening the shrink wrap to a new PS3 controller.

I'm all against cheaters, but seriously how many people are actually modding their controller? .0001%?

I don't think it's a big issue on console.

So? My point still stands. How many people are actually doing it?

I contend it's not enough to be a major problem.

I would just like to point out the 5 times i got hate mail for using modded controllers I was using the burst rifle. I used the tact but if it was more close range I would switch to duv or burst rifles. The sound of a burst with High Rate of Fire sounds much faster than anyone can fire a TAC.

I would also like to point out that both zitros would get hate mail when running DUVs not TACs. So many people are predisposed to players being really good = hackers some how.

I would like to thank those 5 people for the hate mail. Makes me feel like I am good player even if you are dumb and can't understand the difference between burst and TAC

lol. Look! All the players who have gun game (imperfects) say it isn't a big deal while all the terrible kids think that everyone is modding and they only suck because of modders and hackers.

You suck because you can't play worth crap. Not because modders have rapid fire controllers.

It's a PC thing. If CCP is allowing KBM there's no reason not to allow nodded controllers, it's the same basic premise. You pay for 3rd party hardware to give yourself an advantage, it's just a basic tenant of PC gaming.

Who cares?

If they are so desperate that their ego comes from killing people with single-fire weapons and a modded controller than let them. There's no good way to prove and/or stop it and not enough people mod for it to be an issue.

QFT

I made a similar argument a few posts back. None of the QQers addressed my post, so it must be right

I never said the problem didn't exist. I'm saying two things:

1) No one with any amount of skill has had issues with modders.

Therefore the problem seems to be people who suck

2) Rapid-fire controllers don't matter in Dust, weapons have a RoF cap. (Yes, even the single shot)

Sure, there are modders out there. But unless you are the unlucky soul who manages to play against every single modder on PSN, then I think the problem has to do with your skill and not those dirty dirty modders.

Maybe they should do it another way. Make the cap stupid high but have recoil dependent inverse of time between shots. So a modded controller would be pointing straight up after less than 2 shots while a player can adapt their recoil management and trigger speed to sync. Possible outside the box solution - just make using a modded controller an expensive waste of time.

I'd love to fight a mass driver that could do that, because most mass driver users are bad, so they'd dump their 4-6 rounds in an instant and not hit anybody because they don't have time to compensate their aim, and then I'd get to kill them while they're reloading. Sadly, mass drivers are set at somewhere in the realm of 60rpm or so, so you'd never see it even with a modded controller.



Considering I've personally seen zero, 0.0001% is closer to that than 3 people in every game with one.

And as Beers said, he's gotten accusations of using a modded controller while using the burst rifle. Just because the claims are there, doesn't mean they're correct. The burden of proof falls on those claiming existence, and I have yet to see any evidence pointing to it other than "omg but he shoots so fast."

Surely these will all become moot points when CCP actually implement proper recoil mechanics - I mean at the moment with any gun the second shot will go exactly where the first went if you hold the controller still and this is what is really the issue here. Although single/semi automatic shot rifles are more accurate that autos, they are still nowhere near perfect aim, or at least should not be.

Logically the TAC would have greater recoil as a result of its greater DPS and greater range. More energy thrown down range equals more kick. Action/reaction.

So THAT would be the reason the designers would build it as a singe fire weapon. Not that you couldn't make it full auto, just that it would be useless due to jumping all over the place.

So recoil would "fix" the modded controller issue. Since the normal AR's would get less recoil the change wouldn't destroy their ability to shoot full auto.
