So I bought this yesterday as I wanted a good shooter for my fairly new PC and it doesn't dissapoint but I'm having difficulty.
Admittedly it's probably not the best game to play as a Noob but I'm really finding it hard to transition from a controller to M&K.
I think my main issue is my left hand on the keyboard in regards to crouching etc. Does anyone have any tips for playing FPSs in general with M&K? Any mouse button mapping tips?
I'm wanting to get both BO3 and BF for PC and want to use M&K. Failing that though just how much disadvantage is a controller in FPS games on PC?
Sorry a bit off topic but thought this would be a good place for some advice.
You just gotta get used to it.
I would definitely recommend binding grenades to individual buttons
My settings are:
sens 0.95 at 800 dpi (same as 1.9 at 400 dpi)
F - flashbang ( I changed weapon inspection to T)
C - smoke
V - he grenade
Mouse 4 - molotov
Mouse 5 - voice chat
Mouse wheel up - jump
You need to lower your sensitivity. I don't know what your sens is but most new players tend to have ridiculiously high sensitivities. You should use something in the 1-4 range at 400 dpi, or better yet 1.5-3.5. Try to go as low as possible within that range. More than that is too high.
And just general tips:
1) Watch tutorials on Youtube on things like Crosshair Placement (very important), recoil control, grenade use, movement etc. I can recommend Adren, n0thing and for the newcomers warowl.
2) Talking about grenades. There are 3 different ways to throw a grenade ( Actually 5 but let's stick with 3 because it's easier to explain). Left click for long throw, right click for close throw and left and right click for a medium throw.
3) Try to understand how the economy works and when to eco and when to force buy
4) Change the default crosshair to something better
5) Learn how to set up a userconfig
6) Just watch streams of the pro players and try to pick some things up
7) And the things Shane already listed.
