There are a lot of things about games that are similar to films and music in that they are highly subjective and based on artistic vision. This (the aiming) is not one of those things. It's not about being slower and more tactical, or faster and more twitchy. It's about controls that actually work and that you don't have to struggle with in order to make it go where you want it to. Aiming in Dust is very rough and unrefined right now, and if CCP thinks it's working as intended, then I would be seriously concerned about the future of this game.

In that case, bringing up mechanics of other games isn't a valid argument either. Seriously, I have no problem aiming in Dust. If it was so broken, then nobody would be able to do it and yet we have players, that are using the controller, that are getting huge amounts of kills and playing like pros. So then, as your point has been proven invalid by the wide success of many other players, what's your excuse?

Look in options. there is a sensitivity adjustment. If that's all you were looking for, it's already there and this diatribe was pointless.

God every time I read one of horned wolfs post it just sounds like long winded half speculation fps genre authority dribble...
I have yet to see this individual in any match mind you and hardly ever on the leaderboards.I have seen him more in IRC and on the forums than in game.He still feels like he is an authority on subjects such as these but I wonder if his opinion on the subject matters because where are the hours of testing.One would assume that such an individual would be highly visible.That being said.

There are a hundred other threads that have gone over sensitivity,acceleration and the DS3.Yes I will concede that other games do acceleration better than CCP.You also have to take into consideration that CCP is a PC software company and there users are KBM.CCP has done a good job of giving us arc movements instead of angular arrow key movements.You also have to understand that this is the UNREAL ENGINE and if you ever played that game you know that character movements in that game are like the light bikes off the first TRON movie.There in 90's and straight 45 degrees.We already know why CCP chose unreal because they were able to acquire the right to use it and its portability with the PS4 coming out.We wont be going backwards this is the engine they chose.

Btw I dont know how many times Ive fooled with the sensitivity because I adjusted it for sniping then back to assault it had to be readjusted.........first thing I did on this game the very first spawn was jump off a rock and spin and yes I saw it then.Has it stopped me from carrying a 4.2 and over 9k in kills?No I adapted.Most truly good FPS players will.All this would do at this point is change the muscle memory for peoples articulation during which there KDRS will suffer as they readjust and then after a short time theyll just go back to killing people just as well as before if not better.

Im not diametrically opposed to this thread Im just saying its been done before. ALOT, and CCP didnt do anything about it then so why would they now.....They (CCP) wonder why they get reviews like "the controls feel clunky".Like I said I dont think Unreal was made with analog joysticks in mind.This isnt a failing on CCP's part just an over site.I chock this one upto when the PS4 comes out maybe something can be done about this.Until then I just keep playing.

I dont think acceleration should be a adjustable thing,but it is a good thing and I thought a norm in current games now but apparently I was wrong.It is rather simple though.One speed for 90 to 67.5 degrees.67.5 to 22.5 faster.22.5 to 0 full turn speed.Now I know the analog stick doesnt go from 90 to 0 degrees but I think you get my meaning.

The full turn speed would be the classes current turn speed ...problem solved.Now will they do that?I doubt it.

I get what the OP is asking for. My new controller gives me the issues that the OP is complaining about but my old controller gives me the ease of precision, the smoothness, the OP is asking for. It's the one reason I say learn the controller. I am comfortable with a static gradient where the low to high arcs throw me off and I either under track or over track. My old controller has softer springs and a larger stick deflection arc that enables me to make smaller adjustments in my character motion without having to rely on nearly microscopic finger movements.

What it comes down to is personal preference. You want acceleration arcs because those work better for you and I like the static gradient acceleration because it works better for me.

Where the OP steps over the line of reason, and I've seen it on my threads by many other doom sayers, is that he appears to assume himself an authority on all things gaming and in a position to tell people what they should and shouldn't like. He also seems to assume to know what will keep most, if not all, gamers and what will drive them away. The only gamer the OP, and many like him, can speak with any authority about are themselves.

Watch the video from post 44.

It's a rather long winded comment on this, and a few other things. Also, read post 44. You'll notice that I talk more about controls and aiming, and go slightly beyond "acceleration" on the controls.

Don't tell me that you think post #45 is irrelevant just because you do not like the last sentence.
