Black Ops 6 is BETTER on Controller

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 beta is out and I streamed BO6 gameplay. I was having a hard time on mouse and keyboard so I swapped controller. Black Ops 6 on controller is significantly better than any other type of input. I immediately noticed that Black Ops 6 has a high skill gap relating to the omnimovement. The skill ceiling for this game is extremely high and the learning curve is brutal. This Black Ops 6 multiplayer gameplay is from PC and PS5.

Code "drift0r" also saves 5% off (if the link doesn't do it automatically)

10% off w/ code "drift0r"

5% off Netduma R3 Router w/ code "DRFT"

Epic Games Support-a-Creator: "drift0r_thereal"

Controller will always be stronger in a game like this because of the simple fact that aim assist tracks against the actual hitbox of the player, which thanks to CODs horrific servers and netcode, is usually not lined up with the fast-moving player models. MnK players will aim for the player model and half their shots won't register. Controller players will aim for the player model, and aim assist will pull their aim along with the hitbox rather than the player model. Granted, the hitbox tracking is still client-side, which still doesn't sync up server-side 100% of the time--which is why controller players still notice dropped shots, but controller still has it better, and it's been like this for years at this point.

Max Payne 3 had a really good "jump in any direction" system for MnKB

cold war mnk was so good when eomm was not nerfing me

this is the cod that made me realize i’m done with the franchise i just can’t compete

[alwhatever]

I’m an FPS Relic back from the first “Doom” days (That’s 1993 for you youngsters out there ;-)) and never (!) played on controller before
I mostly play ranked on COD and still am rather competitive, enjoying winning “with the team”.

My verdict: goodbye MnK on COD (when playing for the “win”)


Background:
Wanted to know for myself how controller feels vs. MnK
Got my Microsoft Elite Controller last week
Watched 1hr. setup videos –> Configured the 4 paddles and buttons so that they (kind of) matched my mnk setup.
Plugged in –> played 3-4 days private games only on dust against 13-17 “recruit” Bots (around 2hrs. each time – 300 to 400 kills per game)
Got on PUBS => around 4th place each game, always at least positive K/D. Getting better with each hour played.
(all on MW3)

My personal conclusion:
Do I enjoy MnK more than controller? Definitively!
Is Controller better suited for this game than MnK? Definitively!
Looking to win in sweaty lobbies while ranking up => controller is the way to go.

I really do not care if this is “fair” or not, AA OP yadda, yadda, yadda…
It is what it is.
And I (kind of) enjoyed learning a completely new skill set at my age.

And: all the best for your health driftur!

Love when a new cods round the corner as we get more driftor content!

[YxngTexas]

As a controller player… this is what I love to hear!

You gotta stop conflating PC with m&k and console with controller. In today’s age, either input can be used on either platform. Instead, just refer to it as “m&k players” or “controller players.”

I'm a controller player primarily, so I may be biased. But I guess I'm having trouble seeing why this may be a bad thing. Like, I wouldn't go into csgo expecting controller to optimal for that game. Some games will be better on controller, others will be better on MnK. If cod is primarily a console game, is it so bad that controller is better?

Off the topic of COD, I was wondering what kind of wrist exercises do you do?

My wrists sometimes hurt when working out (especially with push-ups), and I keep meaning to look up what I can do to strengthen them some

[kimkong]

I mean, it has been this way forever, thats why almost no MnK players play CoD anymore. but thanks for giving it even more light!

[joshbell]

the new movement is kind of a pain to do on kbm and i have been using kbm for CoD ever since black ops 4. i think i would need to change the keybinds a lot to make kbm comfortable to play in bo6

[petejunior]

That’s actually good for us controller players, PC always has an advantage and this levels the playing field lol

[jaydale]

I do just fine with omnimovement on KBM, its fun

[ravagedcore]

This sounds good to me to have controller be King

[Meglenger]

I switched my back button from S to E and it helps A LOT. Also set dive to mouse 4

[liluzidurt]

i used my controller for the first time in 5 years and dropped a 40 bomb with my brained turned off i can barely manage a 2 kd with mkb skill issue ig

[blodi]

I play ALL my life with mk and i few years Ago i start playing in controller, now i am using mnk again and i'm doing great... Yes aa IS strong but for a médium player this don't matter.

6We have known this for a long time as pc players. It was just the copium of controller players to be in complete denial for years how broken aim assist is in games like this. Finally hopefully the console community at large will understand how broken and unskillful aim assist is. Even the cod pros mention it from time to time. Even going back to old cods with much simpler aim assist, at least you did somewhat have to aim. Now the game LITERALLY does it for you. And it has for years.
