Christ... Again with this argument. I have been waiting for this game since 2008. Personally i find this games crushing lack of content and options a more pressing matter then segregation of its small player base based on peripheral.
Lets face it you look at the top 100 players off of the boards and ask them what there preferred control scheme is i imagine most will 60 say DS3 about 20 will say KB/M exclusively the remanding 20 will say a combination of the two.
That's a good mix for a console game. Especially one with a PC counter part. What i do not understand is this communities gross inadequacy issues that manifest when ever this subject is rears its ugly head... |

Well the fact that CCP are the ones running with this tells us they are still second guessing on fundamentals, or never resolved them in the first place. As you have a more then valid opinion that there are other more pressing issues it just convinces me more that there is a broader malaise that permeates this community based on the beta they see before them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNhPig8inEY skip to 1:06:30 that's where the video related to DUST begins. About 10 minutes after that point they get to a working version of the game with CCP's in-house chrome engine. While admittedly the graphics are dated and clumsy the potential for unique and dynamic game play far exceeds what we have now.
It pisses me off to no end that we cant even move past simple things like the differences in preferred control scheme when the game doesn't even offer things that were shown to be working, in a different iteration 4 years ago. Perhaps my priorities are skewed. Perhaps it's, that I feel the difference in potential for both DS3 and KB/M are not some great impassable chasm that far to many people assume it is. I don't know, for any one to assume they do wreaks of hubris.
What i will say is that if CCP does proceed with the segregation, they are playing into the desires of the lowest common denominator and will have lost a good portion of my respect for their work. |

If you want to play a FPS with a KB/M go play on your computer.... Only reason I treat Dust seriously as a shooter is because it uses KB/M. Take it away and I'm gone. Lol bye, you surely wont be missed. This is a console game, not a PC game.
This is absolutely the worst way to approach the subject Jay. We start cannibalizing and polarizing our selves over something as trivial as preferred method of control and we might as well forget about any high hopes for the prolonged outcome and success of this community.
While were on that subject, what has the PC do ever done to you specifically? Out side of always looking better and running soother, at the cost of several hundred dollars more annually. I can not think of a thing that should separate the two communities as they currently exist. Both are plagued with, and guilty of endorsing the same glaring flaws. From both a game design and community stand point both are fairly similar. I can think of no instance better for comparison then the undeserved, blatant, smug sense of self importance. Both gaming populations are rife with it, any that claim other wise can simply refer to the above for evidence to the contrary. |

Why would anyone be against this is beyond me .
Adapt or die , like you love to throw around here.
Its less adapt and die and more splitting of the player count available for matches... This will at a minimum, increase the time it takes to que for a pubstomp... There is nothing positive that can come about from this.
Actually that's not true, when the guys complaining about KB/M are still getting there poo pushed in, in a DS3 only match they will have no one to blame but them selves... Lets be honest though, that's probably only going to feed an increase in the number of complaints for overpowered weapons. |

What part of filters giving incompetent or misinformed people the ability to hide behind false justifications. Causing all players to wait through longer ques, doesn't sound like something that needs to be avoided. |
