    Why?

    Just a curious question. What was the inspiration behind allowing keyboard and mouse configurations for console players?* Most FPS games don't even allow this, for the simple reason of the skill required to use a controller vs keyboard.

    I see there has been changes throughout this last patch and adjustments are made to enhance game experience and fairness, but it's a proven fact that keyboard and mouse give a complete advantage over a keyboard and mouse.

    I understand players who want to play with a keyboard and mouse for that very reason, and console is a much cheaper way to accomplish that, but in turn there should be keyboard only games for those who want to use it.

    I'd bet money, most diamond players on console are mouse and keyboard. Albeit there are good mouse and keyboard players on console, I'm 99% sure this type of skill would not translate to the actual PC.

    It is comparable to an assisted-aim vs free-aim mode. Free aim will win a few times, but the assisted aim will certainly win the majority.

    *This is mainly posed to CRs UbiNoty and UbiBoat.

    Long story short:

    *Mouse and Keyboard is not officially supported on consoles
    *People still use it through adapters
    *It's considered cheating
    *Ubisoft can't do anything about it, so nothing is going to happen to those cheaters

    Good luck trying to get to diamond
