I say no because it makes people impossible to kill and I just want to play against people that are using the controller. Mouse and keyboard is unfair since not everyone will use a mouse and keyboard. If your gonna use a mouse and keyboard do that $*** on the pc.

Personannly I dont think so, it seems like cheating to me, the platforms should only be able to use thier respective controllers.

if so, I would suggest a pack that comes with the M&KB so that anyone who buys it also has the peripheral for maximum potential.

Ps3 version does and it should be supported, especially if there is cross platform play. With Kb/m and mod support PS3 finnaly gives an equal experience to the PC.

Epic was trying to make M/K equal to a controller on the console versions, so it shouldn't matter either way.

Yea, it probably wouldn't make it a fair playing field, since the mouse/KB would be an advantage over the standard controller.

Here I thought this was going to be a decent discussion, but the TC went a bit overboard on his demands for no mouse and keyboard.

Regardless of how YOU want to play your game, I will be using a mouse and keyboard on my PS3 copy of the game. Why would I want to upgrade my PC to run UT3 at a decent pace when I can get all of the same features on my PS3?

PS3 supports for all games but you have to assign each command to a key for the keyboard if it's not pre-programmed in the game to support keyboard and mouse.

Yes, or better yet the new peripheral for PS3 that IGN just reviewed, that is kinda like a mouse and keyboard. Because FPS weren't mean to be played with a gamepad.

Try to show a little more consideration to the ps3 community when playing UT3 online. Don't be an @** by using the mouse and keyboard unless the other people your playing are doing the same as well such as if your playing your friends online. Its going to be annoying as hell playing against people using a mouse and keyboard when I'm using a controller.

I assume it'll be like the VIsta version of Halo 2, if you use a gamepad you get auto-aim.

Yes, there is no law that says consoles should not be allowed to use a keyboard and mouse for FPS games, or any games for that matter. Not everyone can afford to buy a PC that could run UT3 at max settings and a console is the only other option if you want to play the game on a smaller budget. Why should people not be able to get a PC experience on a console? I mean the Wiimote is a lot like a mouse so why should console players be forced to use a controller for a game?

Just because some people are going to be stuck using a controller does not mean that people using a keyboard/mouse will have an unfair advantage. Of course in a game like UT which is extremely fast paced, a keyboard and mouse are needed, a controller is just crap, I have tried it and hated playing UT with one, it is just annoying really.

Me personally,

I'd prefer the controller with an even level playing field.

I like playing while lounged on my coach.

Sure, I don't see any reason when M/KB shouldn't be allowed. Everyone has the same chances to play any way they want.

Any FPS is made better by kb + m. I think that those who either A) Don't believe it or B) Don't want to take the time to buy a kb + m that they can use for a game should have to suffer the consequences.

I play a lot of Halo, just as a social thing, and every single time I play, I just sit there the whole time wishing I could be playing with a kb + m so I could be precise, quick, and efficient rather than slow and clunky.

FragFX>KB&m, cant wait to own the hermits.DarkNeji14

The idea of FragFX is to mimic kb + m. While it's obvious FragFX will be much better than dual analog, I don't see why you would think that you will own hermits with it. It's not going to be BETTER than kb + m. It might be as good, but why would think it would be better?
