I'm a long time PC gamer, yet I still prefer to play Dust with a controller. In fact, I haven't even botherd to try out the KB/M combo in Dust.
Still, I manage to be amongst the top 3 players of my team prety much all the time. And I think it has various reasons:
Firstly, playing on the big screen with KB/M takes time getting used to, which I learned after trying to play BF3 on PC on my TV.
Secondly, as it's a free to play game, most players will be "casual" or short time players which will mostly use the Controller.
Thirdly, again, as it's a console FPS, I also think that most of the long term players will stick with controllers.
And lastly, even though it might be neccessary to switch over to KB/M to be individually competitive on the high end, Dust rewards teamplay and tactics over individual KDRs, so a disparity in controller speed and precision isn't as decisive as in a Deathmatch game.
So I say, keep it in. Variatio delectat! |

NOTE: While it's not currently an issue, there are no companies that make a "turbo" or "modded" mouse the that allow people to cheat by auto firing weapons that by design are supposed to be "pull per shot." This is mainly due to the fact that such peripheral's are considered cheating on PC and are not permitted in tourney play. They however are considered Pro on console.
Well, there are controllers too with a turbo fire function, so I think that's a non issue concerning the advantages of mice over thumbsticks... |

Not trying to be condescending, and just kind of throwing it out there, but Quakelive does support mapping a console controller, I'm not very good, any vet can wipe the floor with me, and just about any modern computer/laptop can run it at acceptable framerates. I would love to see someone prove to me that a console controller can be just as competitive as a mouse and keyboard. Doesn't even have to be a close match, just not a landslide would be acceptable proof. (not me, just some humorous videos i found, and to be fair, its hard to take someone with the name 'bongsmoker' seriously)
That comparison as a slight flaw: quakelive is a very fast paced game where you need to be very quick and very precise with your aim in addition to being very mobile to succeed.
Dust is much slower in comparison, and poitioning is much more important than speed. thus, while still at a disadvatage, it isn't as pronounced as in old tournament shooters like quake. |
