But in this game, you just can plug a 10 dollar keyboard and a 10 dollars mouse to play so whats the point if it's not about keeping an advantage against gamepad players and by the way is violating the rules of conduct of the future game ?
It has been mentioned a couple of times in threads like this one, if you just cared to figure out the true reasoning behind this, instead of using this as your "pro XIM ban argument", youd find very legitimate answers to that.
According to info we got so far, plugging native KBM to ps4/xbox will match you vs PC players with KBM, which is kinda stupid for myriad of reasons. Even if it only matches you vs ppl who use native KBM on their PS4/Xbox, it is still stupid, because the player pool will be very small and very fragmented, because KBM (via adapters like xim etc.) just isnt as big on consoles as many whiny nerds like to pretend it is. So you might end up getting matched vs Pablo in Colombia and Jose in Brazil. Needless to say with how bad the netcode and/or the servers in COD has been in the last years, it will not be a great experience.
And playing vs PC native KBM users if you hook up KBM natively to your PS4/xb1... just no comment to that. With all the possibilities to cheat, and Im not just talking about Wallhack/Aimbot and such, you can actually tinker with low level graphics settings and make the environment look 1 colored, like a sahara desert, basically remove grass, trees and just everything, where you just have a 1-colored ground texture and 1-colored walls and the player models still look normal, this way you can spot enemies faster and easier. And this wouldnt even be recognized as a cheat, because you just reduce the visuals via low level graphics driver changes. And then you can modify the FOV (cant do on consoles), you can play on a 240 hz monitor with freesync/gsync with lowest input lag out of any system out there, best network connection, because on consoles there are several connections established to Sony/MS network, which you dont need on the PC- theres a ton of advantages on PC, which is why it would be absolutely insane to hook up native KBM to your ps4/xb1 and get matched vs PC players.
All these whiners can only hope that IW doesnt match Controller users on the PC with controller users on PS4/XB1, because that is going to be the biggest OP stuff. Why? because it is very simple to trick the game to think that youre using a controller, when youre actually using a KBM, because that is how simple it is to do scipts/hacks for the PC. Or you could just connect a xim to your PC and use all the benefits of the PC plattform while playing with a KBM and get matched vs Controller players on consoles.
As a matter of fact, if they allow this, Id use the xim on the PC too, because I just need a FOV slider, which they dont want to implement on consoles. Also playing on a 144hz/240hz monitor with freesync/gsync is just so much more fluid than that trash on consoles with frameskips and stutter etc.
