Controls and aiming

[Hyrage]

There is a big problem with most games nowadays. If the player tries to perform circles with his aim, he'll perform instead oval-shape patterns. The sensitivity is not the same on both axis (X + Y) and that's very disturbing and makes the aiming less precise, less natural and less intuitive. (psss, that's ridiculous)

It's not because we have widescreen monitors, that we enjoy some weird oval-shaped aiming systems.

UT3 had that, Halo 3 had that, a lot of other popular games had that - that's terrible, because we can't at least change it. If you guys planned to make it NOT 50/50, then at least give us the option to make it that way.

Thx.

Agreed. All available customization for controls is greatly appreciated.

[Blade_hunter]

I agree, customization of controls is appreciated, I think everyone would agree with this

[Heavenz Night]

well i like having my horizontal aim slightly faster than my vertical , but im totally on board with wanting full control customization, because its always better to have all options.

i hate when games come out only with lame presets and i will never understand why

[Blade_hunter]

Well I don't care about the lame presets as long as I can make them awesome, there is no problem

buy a good mouse and you can do it for every game you like

i got a G500 and you can set both x and y to 5700 dpi or so.
but ye most guys gont wanna pay 55euros for a mouse...
I did and that mouse rocks.

but the most games that come out today dont have to mutch options its like there all designd for console, and that kinda sucks...

Recently got the game-pad to work for UT3 pc exactly like on the console. That basically unlocked all the "aim assists". These are the value used by UT3. Without them your analog stick functions like mouse basically.

Here's another player who wishes for some customization of the controls.

X Y sensitivity is good stuff, and button layout customization are two very very important aspects of the game that I feel enough companies don't put any thought into.
