I understand the problem that the OP is referring to.
As a KB/M user I can confirm however, that KB DOES NOT strafe faster than DS3.
BUT...!
Strafing speeds actually STACK between BOTH inputs.
Yes, strafing on both keyboard and DS3 at the same time, actually doubles your strafe speed.
Holding W on keyboard, and holding Left on DS3 joystick makes you move faster than just using either input alone (the same is true for D and Right, respectively).
Apparently, a minority of multi-limbed, multi-talented people have somehow figured out how to stack strafing commands from both inputs in the heat of combat... and that results in the unusual exploit strafe speed that we all end up seeing.
That said, it's not a problem with KBs themselves. |

Well, the double input problem HAS been fixed.
I've seen matches were some people simply seem to have overall faster movement.
I'd see two guys with seemingly the same suit, and one guy can strafe in wide circles VERY quickly, and generally just move VERY fast. Much faster than the other. I usually just chalk it up to lag, or server latency for that particular player.
With double input being fixed, and being a KB/M user myself, I can say that it is NOT a KB/M issue.
You can't strafe in a perfect circle using a kb. If you hold a target, you can only strafe a pattern of side-to-side, a square, or an octagon.
I CAN strafe and sprint at the same time, but only at an angle going FORWARD (so I can't move in a circle), and I can't shoot while I'm doing it. For example, I have to start sprinting first, then I can hit and hold A or D and change direction between the two, but this is intended and is not an exploit of any sort. The same thing can be done on DS3.
As for the fast Heavies, there is a 'speed heavy' build floating around that relies more on shields for defense, but it can only SPRINT fast. Roughly as fast as, or a pinch faster than an Assault suit. It's not actually going to STRAFE very fast.
It's possible to generate latency on yourself deliberately (to get an effect similar to the old-school "cord-pulling"), but the effect wouldn't be as dramatic... and you could risk simply hurting your own game in the process. |
