There are simply too much buttons to map all on a controler.

thats what i am thinking too. the only real lack will be comfort.

i feel like planetside2 is not comparable to quake, cs or similar oldschool esports titles. titles where everyone should agree that a mouse is the only way to play. PS2 will not be as unforgiving as those games. it wont come down to miliseconds or one single shot. (and by this i mean loosing a clanwar and loosing ladder points. not to die)

a very talented console player should have no problems playing this game on a very high level combat wise and with all due respect everyone who disagrees never played a shooter on a very high level

Doesn´t matter which Ego-Shooter. Tactical kind of, speedy kind of, mouse and Keayboard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All.

Controllers most kids know from Consoles are good for Jump-And-Run´s and Sportgames etc. That´s it.

But i know there are really a bunch of peeps in the world who started ego-shooting on ps3 or xbox i.e. with "Call of Spraying".
As they met shooters first in their lifes on those kiddosoles and played them with a controller while PWNing other consoleheroes, they really think controllers rock in those kind of games. They also think they really, yesss, really really rock the shit.

Well, in times of Galileo Galilei peeps where thinking the sun circles around the earth and not otherwise. Untill they learned the truth...

I already gave two great examples why controllers can be a good choice.

Let's be objective .

There are a couple of people that I work with that I've got interested in PS2 and I was suprised that they totally plan to play with an Xbox controller. I guess that if thats the way that you've learned how to play games then it would be the obvious choice. I still play plenty of shooters on consoles but will always be more comfortable with a mouse and keyboard, to each their own I guess and more power to ya.

These same guys also freaked out that I play everything with inverted vertical controls. Thats just the way I learned...

I'm also hoping that I can get my 12 year old joystick (Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold)to work for flying. It's kind of a long shot but I love that thing and don't want to have to buy a new one.

See, that's the thing. People who want to use controllers aren't being objective. Most of them really believe it's an equal/superior choice for shooter games. It just isn't, it doesn't offer the precision or speed of a mouse.

As for the examples, you mentioned people with a disabilities and people with a strong preference because of their console background. The first I will grant as valid but still not quite optimal. The second, which I believe is most of the people arguing in favor of controllers. Well, lets just say I think it'd be pretty stupid to put a steering wheel in a fighter jet just because you're used to it.

I think a grown man or woman using a video game peripheral because they casually prefer it is reason enough. I don't think casual grown ups give a damn if Mouse/keyboard is better.

I prefer M/K, but I think you're dramatically overstating the difference here. Is M/K better? Typically. Is it really that big of a deal? No. Also, consider that not everyone who will play cares enough about precision or being that totally badass at a video game to give up comfort or familiarity.

I'm blue.
