Ok how about this: the controls are good if you want them to be easy, but for someone who doesnt want to be assited when aiming, they are awful. I would appreciate alternative controls. Better? Also how exactly was my post spam? Do you even know what thay means?
The auto aim assist I think needs to get taken out of survial mode, but can stay in campaign. All you need to do it push the auto aim buttons and shoot, yay you got a headshot. Also I think graphics need to be upgraded on iPad 4.
You don't have to use the auto aim, it's there for people who need it but I don't even touch the two arrows either side of the screen to "snap" on target. I assign the Iron Lung perk to my squad so allow my sniper to hold his breath while aiming down his scope and it makes those head shots superbly rewarding.
Im thinking he is trying to say that those icons get in his way of playing. It is a tad annoying to jut have them on your screen and they freaking blink red all the time when playing. Would be cool to have a option to remove them. Also the customizing controls option is dumb. You can only move the movement icon and it is hard to even move.
You mean you can only move the fire button? Yeah that and Im also used to aim button being on right side so I can quickly aim and fire and no need to lift my left thumb whenever I wanna aim. Im too used to MC controls
Ha, yea haven't played it today so wasn't all there in my post. Sorry about that. Im use to controls that are customizable like dead trigger. You could actually move the scope icon and everything anywhere you wanted. Haven't played MC in forever so I don't know if they have in depth customizable controls like dead trigger does. It sucks having the scope on the left side. Instead of using my left thumb to push it I use my right hand to push the scope icon. Thats how much I need it on the right lol.
I know how you feel. Also in MC3 and 4 every single button was readjustable. Size, location, you name it Perfect controls, because they were YOUR controls
Lets just talk about how bad the controls are and maybe they may fix them. P.S. Had a long message and it wouldn't submit. I copied it and went back to this thread and nothing will paste. So what you is not even a percentage of what I was going to say.
Unless Activision has a community manager here like GL, I don't think posting here how controls should be would work at all. The game should offer things like fixed joystick, smoother aiming (the sensitivity is either too low or too high in this game, I just can't find an intermediate level) and fully customizable controls. About MP, I don't think it would suit this game. How would the third person camera work there? It's the thing that makes this game different from MC. Without the TPC this would be like a MC game with less options and worse controls.
I don't quite get what all this talk about bad controls is. Is it cause it plays totally different on an iphone and ipad? The movement on the left is floating, which seems to work ok, the aiming I use the area above the fire button, and it too seems to work fine. I am thinking there must be a huge discrepancy between iphone and ipad, cause on ipad, the controls work pretty good. Or is it just the inability to move alot of the hud buttons around? While that would be nice, don't feel it is too bad on an ipad.
I am in love with this game. I'm seriously hoping they add more content in the future cuz I've been super engrossed for the past weekend with this game like no other for a while. The short mission lengths are perfect for my tastes and the controls in general are nothing I can complain about because the raw combat is not that difficult. Easily a game I would have paid ten dollars for. That being said I am having a hell of a time finding all three intel for mission 2 the truth will out. So far I've played it over ten times trying to find the intel to no avail. Blast! Also the replayability is just perfect. If anything, survival mode is boring to me and I just like to replay missions. Kudos activision!
I have also been replaying the missions to find all the intel. I just have 2 more to find in the final two Kowloon missions. Some of them are really hard to spot.
Yea in my long post, that got deleted or wouldn't submit. I was going to say hopefully are talk about controls and what not could show up on the front page and a dev could see and take notice. But I was just talking out my ass. Do they have a contact email? MP would work. We don't need to have multiplayer for the in sky view. Could just have online missions, see who complete areas or whatever the fastest.
Yea the inability to move control buttons. The scope icon on the left side sucks needs to be on the right.
The problem with the controls--other games make this mistake too--is that the screen is split 50/50, and it would optimally be more like 1/3 for movement and 2/3 for looking/aiming. The joystick can be floating or fixed. What's important is that you have enough room to use both thumbs to simultaneously adjust aim and shoot. IMO.
If you can't get used to the controls, well then touchscreen is not for you. The controls are close to Gamelofts which are the best really.
