The weapon wheel needs a guided cursor and a dedicated hotkey.

[BoosterDuck]

Both Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon use the weapon wheel that does not have a mouse/guided cursor so we can tell what weapon we're choosing. It's incredibly difficult when I want to choose an explosive weapon like molotovs or C4 but it's a pain to do so because their sections on the weapon wheel are real small. Please give us an on screen cursor or let us customize the sensitivity of the weapon wheel.

And please let us set a hotkey to activate the weapon wheel instead of having us hold a button for it to pop up. I want my inputs to be prompt and smooth.

What weapon wheel? I actually have no idea what you're talking about...

I just used the number keys to select weapons.

In Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon if you hold a button that corresponds to changing the weapons aka 1, X, Q, 2, 3, etc. then the weapon wheel pops up.

Yeah I googled it after I posted that, I had no idea it even existed.

[BoosterDuck]

yes even if it exists, it's horrible to use with a mouse

Ubisoft needs to rehaul it

[demarker]

What it needs is to pause the game, no one ca choose weapons in the middle of a fight

Playing this with WASD makes me want to throw up. Playing any first person shooter with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ keys makes me want to throw up. I have no idea why people like using keyboards for games and I never ever will understand it. I also prefer triggers to mimic guns and I think a mouse does not immerse me in weaponry as much as a pad, but I can still handle playing with a mouse. All about the immersion baby.

Accuracy, plus the hotkeys are super nice since controllers don't have enough buttons most of the time. I almost always play keyboard and mouse with first person, and controller with third person. The one exception to that I guess is Dead Island which I couldn't stand with keyboard and mouse for some reason.

I really have trouble getting immersed when I use a controller too, I played mostly console games as a kid so I dunno why that is.

It looks like the FC4 one will be the same as the FC3 one.

Typing a number doesn't bring up my weapons-- I get that damn wheel. I have yet to be able to toss a grenade-- usually throw a knife or bait by mistake. I usually use N and keep hitting until I get the weapon I want, a poor substitute in a game that is as sluggish as FC4,

The problem is that the mouse movements used to select items in the wheel are awful. You move diagonally to select grenades for example and nothing happens, forcing you to move the mouse a lot.
Why they didn't implement something better is beyond me. Look at older games like Crysis, it worked so well that you could select different powers in a short lapse of time.

The only thing that could make someone throw up is your retarded peasant post.
FPS shooters were never intended to be played with a damn pad. It's that way nowadays for the simple reason that consoles don't have a mouse/keyboard combo.
And then they had to improvise. Moving the aiming with an analog stick? really?!? It's so obvious that it's not a suitable peripheral, that most games had to implement auto aim to be playable with a pad.
