Kontrol Freeks: Your opinion

I think that's ridiculous. I have them and they just makes it more smooth like on a mouse and keyboard. If nothing else, it should have been ENCOURAGED...PC gaming is so much more competitive because the mouse doesn't have any of the spring issues that are in a controller...the FPS Freeks decrease that significantly, and I think that should be not only allowed but encouraged.

 

That I totally disagree with actually. It just doesn't work like that, you ban the product not the item. The fact of the matter is that it gives the player an unfair advantage over the others...but they should all be using them instead of just banning it outright.

 

Ah, I'm sorry. I took what you were saying as the classic "well this is just X and X, which shouldn't be disallowed because it's just X", when in actually it makes something much greater together, as with everything.

 

well they cant ban you for playing iwth one in your own house
but i think in any MLG turny you cant have any type of mod on your controller (correct me if im wrong) so tape wouldnt be allowed either.

But to answer you question no i dont think they should be allowed in MLG events
its a MOD on your controller, nothing technical but a MOD none-the-less*

Also the speedfreak is slightly different because you can use a wheel aswell at events
i think they should be allowed because its just an aid to help driving like a racing wheel.

 

only because driving wheels are acceptable

 

i dont see how these would help

 

they bisically broaden the range at which your them can go,
say normally you thumb can go in a small circle because of your sensiivity and all other factors

but with the extention your thumb is higher so it has a bigger circle of movment meaning it can be on a higher nsensitivity and still be exatly the same as a smaller circle but at times have a faster turning speed


also if you dont change the sensitivity the extention tranfers basically into a slower movment in the original thumbstick

correct me if im wrong on all of this

 

In my opinion, its all about the money.
MLG is influenced by the the Xbox 360 company. They make their money by controllers, the system, the headsets, ect. I may be wrong, but if a rival company, like this one, were to offer better controllers to enhance gameplay and they are cheaper, they could lose millions of dollars. So with their high influence, they told the people who run MLG to ban the controllers, and so they did. I don't know if it's really true but it's a possibility.

I find it ridiculous that they would ban it though, technically, there are no mods involved. Everyone should just use one.

 

if it is for that reason why do they not have to use MS's headset

 

its not a controller its just an extention

 

FPS Freeks haven't improved my game...from what I've noticed.

Banning them is pretty meh, I mean, they don't get that much of an advantage.

 

If you change TV's, Controllers, Resolutions or from HD to SD, theres always a noticable difference in gameplay potential. I'd imagine it would be noticable for this plastic thing.

 

No ****, it took about a day to readjust to the longer sticks.
But overall, I don't notice that much a difference with my success.

 

Well In Cod4 I usualy average 40 kills a game in ground war so if I buy these I can tell you if they work. Say I do bad or less than what I normaly get within the learning time and after ,then I can see if they work. All those kids in those videos are trash at cod lol. I don't belive this will help me since im a heavy support type player not a sniper *****. ;]
