Metal

You really not gonna buy BF4 if it supports M.Kb on all platforms?

Saw your post on gamefaqs and it made me chuckle.

Seriously dude?

Cmon man your better than that

He also posted that in the thread on here, and his reasoning why.

What because you have to sit up?

Also I dont remember seeing he wasnt going to buy it, just that he didnt like it.

My bad if he said that

theres no way they actually will though

I think it would be a great idea

I they do that then I might skip it completely.

If I wanted to play with Kbm then I would play on PC. Having to play with Kbm is probably my number one reason for not wanting to play on PC.

If they make it an "option", then it really isn't an option at all, because now I'm basically forced to use it to stay competitive. Controller is effectively no longer an option.

Unless of course they actually gimped Kbm use so it wasn't more effective than a controller.

This is DICE we are talking about though so I totally and completely expect that they will:
1. Make the wring decision.
2. Completely fuck it up.

I have zero faith in them and even though they make make my favorite game, they are my second least favorite developer. I fucking hate their guts.

I have to agree with Metal on this. Giving the console the option of Kb/M means so many people will be doing this to gain that edge over the controller. There should be no option for it on consoles as the whole point is using a controller. You want to play the game using the Kb/M combo, then buy it for PC.

DICE made Midtown Madness 3, I will always love them. If they've done wring just blame EA. It's all their fault.

I agree with Metal's stance here though. While most people would probably continue using gamepads on the console version, running into those people with KB/M would be annoying as hell.

DICE will give controller users an aimbot to make up for the disadvantage !

That would be a DICE only server option though. Having that Rent A Server thing again wouldn't really work when it comes to having certain settings. I've seen too many servers saying certain games or weapons, and no one follows it.

That would also unnecessarily split the community.

I dunno

I dont see this as a bad thing

In the end I want the most options possible for playing my games.

Lets not kid ourselves here......m/kb are the best way to play FPS. There is really very little up for debate here on this subject. So I dont see the harm in Dice giving the input method to consumers.

I guess part of it is I just done understand your hate for mouse and KB. To each their own though you know?

How did I ignore everything said before me?

I guess I dont understand NOT WANTING the superior control scheme.

The only way Id EVER play a competitive FPS on consoles again is using M.KB

I made the thread you derp

Also I can understand wanting everyone on an even playing field I guess.

I just dont understand not buying a game because they give you an "option". It wouldnt be forced upon you. And lets be real here.....how many console people will adapt to a m.kb? Not many would be my guess. The M/kb users would be dwarfed in comparison to the pad users.

What? Did you even read anything anyone else posted?

Honestly I skimmed

Was looking for Metal's response to MY thread

I understand where your coming from Metal, I really do. I just love this addition if indeed its true. I said months ago one of the only things that would get my back into console gaming is m.kb integration. And now that Im finally seeing the possibility, it makes me kinda excited . I dunno.

A lot of people just like using controllers, which is a less effective way to play but arguably a more fun way to play, but if everyone has to use it, it doesn't matter because everyone is equally handicapped.

That goes away if you let people use a mouse. It's really NOT just an option.
