Controls

[CHOKE ARTlST]

Hey guys. I am new to this forum, but I am really excited about this project. I just stumbled upon the site a week ago when when I googled "spy vs merc comeback in 2010?" hoping Ubisoft had seen the light and decided to finally give the people what they have been asking for all along. I did dabble in the SCCT for the PC after the Xbox version servers were no longer operational, but I had to dig around and find a fix to the flashlight bug and found the controls to be a headache. I wasn't too excited about the feel of the mouse and keyboard, so I bought a control that resembles the Xbox's without the triggers (replaced instead with double bumpers, you know the kind). The problem was with the movement/strafing. I could not make it work right for the life of me. My question is will there be a better compatability with a controller like that with this game? Although I do play other PC games (mostly RTS), I have always prefered the feel of a controller in my hands for this type of game. Thanks.

Last I heard it was a possibility. There are a couple people on here that came from Xbox and do still like the idea of playing, at least spy, with a controller (Me included).

What it sounds like is that it's a "Minor Feature", as just getting the game playable first, in general, is obviously top on their priorities. Eventually though, if there is enough of a want, the devs will look into supporting the controller. Otherwise, there are third party programs that can be used to get a similar layout as was once on Xbox.

If I remember right Frvge or someone also said that the UDK engine, which they are building this game on, is Xbox (360) Controller compatible. So that's a plus...

Here are all the PC Players on here's answer to this though:

"Why use a Controller? Mouse and Keyboard are much more precise."

"If pitting two players together, one Keyboard and Mouse and one Controller, then the Mouse and Keyboard player will win every time."

"It'll take up too much of the dev's time that could be better used by creating more content."

Let's not forget:

"Xbox is for noobs"

Agent's Response to this thread:

"Pinnacle game profiler. Look in to it. You can also double bind buttons with the newest version so it plays exactly like the Xbox.

kthxbai"

Then finally, the reluctant Xbox Player that decided to play CT on PC more regularly:

"It's easier to just learn the PC controls than try and get a controller to work the same as Xbox..."

Haha that last quote was me.  You think I'm reluctant?  :'(

But seriously, I think it's easier.  No matter what program Agent throws at you, and throw at you he will, it's just not the same.  You have to try to flatten your hands haha.

I actually thought of me for the bold, then you for the quote ;)

I'm still not fully convinced on the fun-ness to be had without the Controller as a spy. Course, I played a few rounds with Agent the other day. While I had a bit of fun; I have the feeling that losing near every round wasn't exactly Agent's idea of fun. ;D

which inturn wasn't really my fault because I accepted the fact that you hadn't played in 1030414401341 years .

@ Wormfood You got Xfire ? , cause Ill help ya get the necessary toolz .

But did you SEE that necksnap? Flawless.

I've come to believe that not only am I great at SvM, but that my prowess only comes out in short (but powerful) bursts.

If I was the harness my true power over both Spies AND Mercs, then I would be an unstoppable force that only an AI designed to not lose could even pretend to contend me. Sometimes you just have to wonder why people even try when there are people like yourself in the world. All this, and a controller isn't even added into the equation.

It's kind of hard to carry Agent on your back sometimes and win despite him.  Then he gets mad because we lose a round on a PC map that I never played before.  :D

Not to mention how many times he reminds people he beat someone when they just started versus.

Farley@ you still remember the time how I was flaming on aquarius when you had your bloody fingers broken by that controller, and that you had to get used to the keyboard and mouse again? Hmmm :P You got necksnapped twice! Shame on you!

I can't tell if you did that on purpose, but you reminded me of how you beat me even though I just started on PC just like the first part of your post says.   :D

Actually Ston3, you are wrong for once, Agentx never smurfs, and I smurf because people just ban me and I have a knack of going on a different name and giving them my good taste.

Also cheat my way out of it? That funny, cause you said that to every play that ever beaten you I won't name them. + Your name doesn't need to be tarnished, you suck as it is.

Robert keep trying to cover your ass thats great .. put a show on for everyone but I know it as well as many others ,you can't keep up with skilled people, and the people you think are skilled are people like Kingwebs and Knooger , how sad, Facts are Facts ive been in more tournaments then you have fingers and toes ,But thats fine to critisize ,look I wouldn't have a problem with half the people in the community , if people just came clean and Played me on a 1 to 1 level ie. Ohh i dunno someone who actually communicates and isn't a dead weight on my shoulder.

Because at the end of the day Robert when PS does come out I know for a 100 percent defining fact You won't have the crutches there to help you stand where you are today.

Finally first and foremost that also goes out for those douche bags who got used to saying that Its part of the game To EMF ghost.. well all those people who got into those bad habits won't have that there to rely on either.
