Then dont press l3?? Looks like its ur fault for simply pressing the joystick too hard.

This is getting tiresome. I returned to this game last night to see what had changed since I was last on back in January. I had hoped you could actually change up the default controller settings by this point, but alas no.

Seriously developers, having SPRINT on the L3 setting is unplayable for me. Everytime I turn to aim at someone I trigger the run mode and stop shooting for a second, just long enough for someone to get the jump on me. Very frustrating. And if something is frustrating, it's not fun. This is why I walked away at the beginning of the year, and why I'm walking away until this is rectified. If it ever will be.

(I suppose now I'll get a slew of "Get Out", "Bye", "See ya" and "Get Better" comments by the inept social miscreants of the community who are Oh-So-Tough behind their keyboayds.)

Intresting, so you can't play any other shooter as well, because sprint on L3 is just regular.

Brink default sprint button: L2.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron default sprint button: L2.
Red Faction: Guerrilla and Armageddon: L2.

There are a LOT of shooters where L3 isn't the default sprint button. It's a common default, but it's not universal.

That's true but it's very common, I didn't play any of the games mentioned, unless Brink, but this just on PC and it was a quiet worse experience, another lost 50 bucks ;)

Yeah, Brink wasn't exactly the best shooter. It has some great ideas, and did some of them justice, it just didn't all come together quite the way it should have, and some of the "innovation" looked suspiciously like "stupidity" would have been a more accurate term. Lack of lobby or party system being a perfect example. "We're making a competitive FPS based around teamwork and clan play.... but even if you want to start a private match, you have to start the game alone then send out invites one by one. NO LOBBY INNOVATION!"

They promised (among other things) this in May 6 Uprisng update:

Source: http://www.ccpgames.com/en/public-relations/press-releases/article/74812/ccp-updates-dust-514-open-beta-with-uprising-build-on-may-6

So if you insist on giving up, just maybe reconsider checking in back in May?

...[Note how the OP mentioned they were trying to "aim" when it happened, and note how L3 isn't on the stick used to aim, suggesting that it was an attempt to aim down sights, and NOT an accidental press of the button..

Next build. Patience is a virtue.

Intresting, so you can't play any other shooter as well, because sprint on L3 is just regular.

This last passage is just ridicoulus, you can't blame people for telling the truth.

With other shooters I have played, the act of sprinting does not cancel out your abilty to shoot. In Dust 514, if I am in a close quarters firefight with someone, then I press just a bit too hard on L3 while attempting to avoid a rain of bullets and simultaneously return fire, away goes my gun. Bad control design.

Also, the only types who would find my last passage ridiculous are those same social miscreants and keyboard crusaders who it applies to, and who would now feel foolish following through with their usual poisonous retorts.

Glad to see this will finally be addressed in the next build.

I understand this is "still in Beta", but exactly how many beta builds have there been since June of last year at this point? In my opinion, this is something that should have been implemented (and easily could have) LONG ago.

Oh wait...


Nevermind then. Not a priority, eh? Well, not to sound testy but I guess this game just isn't a priority for me either then. What conceit. The developers pay more attention to silly events and sound effects than how someone can actually play their game.

While I completely understand the need for being able to change the settings, I cannot gather why you can't just adept to the control scheme. It's not that hard for any competent person.

To be fair, there are other things far more important that need to be addressed first. & yes sound is far more important than your particular beef with the controls. I can't even think of a console FPS that deviates far from this control scheme. Believe me, I want custom controls more than anyone, I really miss my melee. But even I can't argue that they should be priority over things like, graphics, framerate, lag, matchmaking, balancing, UI, Eve/Dust connection, etc, etc, etc...

There is nothing, NOTHING, more important to a video game than the controls. It could be the most beautiful, well thought out, engrossing and vivid game ever made. But if it has horrid control schemes or the controls don't react precisely to what you are doing on the HID, then it is crapo.

We need to tell CCP that controls matter and they need to work on them NOW, not SOONGäó.

Having controls that work, and being able to customize those controls are two different things.

Oh how terrible it would be for you to take half an hour to get use to a different control scheme...
The controls work whether they are to your liking or not, no matter how you spin it, function and preference are still different things; just because you don't want to learn a different control scheme temporarily until alternate controls are added does not mean that those new controls don't work.

Controller remapping and changing should definitely be in the game, but it isn't nearly as big of a deal as many of you would make it out to be.
