I generally agree with leaving it as is . I guess i love trolling the blackops forums over the crappy way they treat the pc community over there. My apologies o the community.

Ya, just leave it be - no need for any of the 3arc guys to sign up on these forums and find all our gamertags and ban us.... etc....

btw - infinityward was the worste when it came to dealing with their community. - all hail valve!

[tuffrabit]

all hail valve!

yea... Valve actually knows what a customer is.

[ROFLSYRUP]

And dont forget how they treat ppl on steampowered forums, massive comment deletion and ban to people who tell the unwanted truth.

You just described the project origin, fear 3, epic, treyarch, and infinity ward forums all in one statement.

I was just allowed to use a xim adapter to play-test a game... At Microsoft... In Redmond... They didn't seem too concerned about "me using my own controller that is not OEM" ... they gave me Forza 3 - and Visio Premium... Oh yeah 1 year live as well..       What am I supposed to do with this VISIO program??

[mist4fun]

Why would they give you visio premium? Thats an odd gift. Better yet why would they let you use a m/kb during a playtest if they are interested in your feedback? I would be looking for button placement feedback as well as game feedback, using xim doesn't allow you to do this.

Are you allowed to say which game you tested? or the type of game?

[amak1]

Well at least you can make all the vector based diagrams your heart desires now lol  that is interesting though i would have to agree with mist on that one. Did you haved fun at the testing at least? And were u able to make a good standard config on the fly for the game you were testing?

[Flamemonkey]

That's interesting, that they were letting you do that... Hey, sounds good to me!
Did they give you time to make that config? XD
Hey if he did poorly on it due to config issues maybe they'll think it's no advantage. XD

You are telling me- I had/ will never have a use for the visio ( I still am not sure what it does). The list of gratuities was horrible. For that play-test I was given a list and could pick one item from each category (software, hardware, etc). It was halo reach forza and some other $30 dollar games(nothing new at all for the most part)  Visio NFR copy was the most valuable (so I went with the Visio and re-sold it) As to button feedback I was testing the game on an xbox-The game was intended for pc, mobile mainly(I also knew the p.c. button layout) . It was an arcade style "kids" game that Will never see the light of day.

I guess now you just can just walk in and get $25 to test mobile apps on fridays.....

Good choice, I would have done the same thing with those options.

I try not to flaunt the fact I use the XIM3.
As I am a disabled veteran, I can't hold a controller properly and the ability to map keys to where they work for me is a blessing. So although my peripherals are unlicensed, they are merely to allow me to game, not for an advantage.

If somehow Treyarch gets a bug up his @#$% and starts banning us, I'll pull my veteran card out quicker than they can imagine.

im a vet as well oorah to you. i started the habit of when people accuse me of cheating, for instance when i snipe apparently its to much of a smooth motion to the head that people think its an aimbot. So i casually say i use a keyboard and mouse. Some people get mad call it cheating and say there going to report me. Some people i give the website too and there pumped to buy one. Eh its a game, in every game the person with the higher skilled players win. And my keyboard and mouse is better than any controller

[Phoenixlee]

Thanks for that, it's much appreciated！

[Hartvar]

Well FPS it is only one way to play it, using xim 3 xim Edge or xim 4 nothing more i will say here
