Mouse and keyboard is cheating on console | Forums

[smal.pp.jet.tsm]

If you use mouse and key on console you are just sad that you cant use a controller so you get the unfair advantage because you suck.

Like I said before the issue with mouse and keyboard on console could be solved easily the devs of PUBG mobile added detection for mouse keyboard/controller, emulator detection and ban players for it because it gives them an incredible advantage over folks swiping with their fingers on a phone or tablet.
I don't even understand why it hasn't been done yet the coding to detect unauthorized USB/Bluetooth/Wireless input really isn't that difficult for a multi million dollar developer to do.

You'd see a banwave on consoles that would make any banwave on PC pale in comparison with how out of control it is.

I'm not a dev so I won't pretend that I know how easy or hard it is to do this or that. I know everyone tends to smack the devs around because of problem A-X but if things were "That" easy to detect and figure out I'm sure they would have solved it ages ago. I'm not brown nosing them like some sort of lap dog but if it's so easy then they would have at least revealed some sort of plan to clean up the MnK players by this point? I don't think it's just them being lazy or too incompetent to figure it out.

You could always file a complaint with the better business bureau https://www.bbb.org/us/nv/henderson/...-1086-90037886

Other than that there is not much to be done other than hope MS and Sony take legal action.

I still think they should just all M & K on consoles. They are basically cheap PC's anyways. I mean really what is the big deal? Give the players a choice.

Let me give you a hypothetical question. What if ubi announced hack lobbies where players who want to use hacks can free of punishment. What do you think would happen, would all the hackers go there or would they stay screwing everyone else that wants to play legit. Thats the problem. Instead off removing the problem they would just be adding longer queues and still we would have to deal with ppl cheating using 3rd party software.

"Hacks" are like 'roids it seems...

Folks are using 'em I am sure, but just don't get caught. And when they do get caught, they chill out for awhile and/or "switch it up" so to speak. It seems to happen in this seemingly lackadaisical kind of environment.

I dont think it affects me either way. Either I am not good enough to worry about it, don't see it that often, and/or good enough that I can readily hold my own from time to time. Kind of the same as dealing with guys on 'roids in the gym....

As long as they have separate M+K lobbies. Otherwise there is no choice; it becomes play with a M+K or get crushed.

Even then, people will still by Xim adapters and use them so they don't have to play against other M+K folks. Until Sony and MS shut them down, they aren't going to stop.

Nah that just splits the player base. Everybody should be able to play with their friends regardless of what input device they use.

A few years ago, a lot of consoles players were saying controller is better than mouse and keyboard. What has changed now? Either players were wrong about the advantages in the past or they are wrong now.

It just sounds like a lot of crying to me. "Play it my way or not at all!"

It's no more of a split of the player base than banning hackers on PC.

Bottom line is, if you want to play with every advantage money can buy then stick with PC.

You sound like you already do that, so why are you so obsessed with the console experience?
