A few points here.
Firstly, anyone who uses KB/M knows that hit detection was not fixed, but simply bandaged with an aim assist system that actually affects bullet trajectory rather than targeting. I've personally watched bullets leave the barrel at a 45 degree trajectory in order to continue shooting a player as they dropped to the ground. Pick up a controller, you'll be able to hipfire and strafe and make shots that are impossible when crouched and zoomed in with KB/M. I 3 shotted a heavy the other day with a scrambler pistol at about 30m, while at full strafe. With KB/M I can't hit jack with it hipfiring outside MAYBE 5m, and I'm pretty good with the weapon, I pick people out of the drivers seat with it.
The apparent theory behind this whole thing was to put controller users on even ground with KB/M users. So riddle me this, in a game where I've seen people spend ridiculous amounts of money on a patch by patch basis in order to buy the flavour of the month gear and maintain an obscene KDR, how is it that none has dropped the $15 at Future Shop to buy a mouse and keyboard set, if it provided such a tactical advantage?
I have never consistently died in under 1/2 a second to any user, no matter skill level, as much as I have in this patch. I realize 9 million SP isn't a great deal to some players, but it's what I have into my main, and he is essentially useless now. Shotgun logistics - shotgun hit detection is still broken without auto-aim, everyone else is hitting at close to 100%, including free headshots, and medic roles are pretty much a thing of the past. |

I'm not arguing with anyone's ability to use a controller. Personally I started out in this game with one without realizing KB/M input was an option. I switched to it because I've never really played FPSs on consoles and that's the format I'm more comfortable with, not because it gave me an advantage. I'd rather have to learn to play with a controller again with the old mechanics than deal with this one.
I've played with a controller since the patch, and even with as much fumbling as I do on the thing I'm still keeping up with what my KB/M performance has been post-patch. I know people usually ignore allegorical evidence, but I'll say it anyway. The other day I took down a heavy with 1/2 a clip of a scrambler pistol while hip firing and strafing at about 30m distance. Ask anyone with any control device and they'll tell you this was impossible pre-patch and still is without aim assist. |
