When Will Controller Support Be Added? + Pro Play

[Travis]

As gaming continues to evolve, it's clear that controllers are becoming an integral part of the gaming experience. With the rising popularity of gaming consoles and the push towards a more inclusive gaming community, I wanted to discuss the possibility of introducing controller support in Counter-Strike.

Controllers offer a different, more laid-back gaming experience and open up the world of Counter-Strike to a broader audience. As we've seen in various other titles, controller support can enhance accessibility and attract players who may prefer or require this input method.

I'm curious to know if there have been any discussions or plans from the development team regarding the integration of controller support in upcoming updates.

I can't help but envision a future where controllers take center stage, making keyboards a thing of the past. Imagine the seamless transition between precision gameplay and the comfort of a controller, creating a dynamic and versatile gaming experience for everyone.

Picture this: a Counter-Strike where controllers aren't just for casual play but could also be a viable option for pros. How would that change the game? What strategies could emerge? Would we see a new generation of pros mastering the art of precision with a controller?

While the keyboard and mouse combo has been the standard for competitive play, imagine the skill and strategy that could emerge from top-tier players mastering controllers. It would not only introduce a new level of diversity to the competitive scene but also open up opportunities for different playstyles and innovative tactics.

Imagine the thrill of watching Niko and S1mple showcase their skills with controllers – a new era in CS esports!

Have there been any discussions within the community or from the development team regarding the possibility of pros adopting controllers? I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this potential game-changer for Counter-Strike. Let's discuss how this shift could not only redefine our casual gaming experiences but also revolutionize the way we perceive high-level competitive play.

Controllers just arent really for fps games and would require an insane amount of aim assist just to be on par with mouse and keyboard.

Why Do Call of Duty Pro Players Use Controller?
In Call of Duty, things are a little different. There's a huge emphasis put on movement, and accuracy is sort of sidelined with a routine suite of weapons that don't have much in the way of recoil and kill players in just a few shots alongside powerful perks, equipment, and killstreaks you can use to give yourself advantages over other players.




cs2 soon will be played with controllers on pro level as well , the cornerstones are set with cs2

That just leads back to this.

Youre being incredibly reductive.

Controllers work good in games like CoD or Halo because of the Aim assist. You dont have to aim yourself you just have to look in the direction of an enemy and it will lock-on.
Aiming is kinda automatic in CoD or Halo. Thats why many people call these games "noob games".

CS2 has no and will never have Auto-Aim.

Controllers are therefore not a thing in CS2 and will never be.

CS2 doesnt support controllers, because the devs know that everybody who would play with a controller would have a terrible experience without auto-aim and would just get destroyed by people with a mouse. Thats why they completely killed the support for controllers with CS2 and its highly unlikely that we will ever see it.

Progress is unstoppable, controllers alongside steamdecks are the future

What progress?
People are using controllers for games longer than mice.

Then games like Quake 1 and Quake 2 aso. came out and people realized that its much better to aim with a mouse.

People used mice since then. Thats the progress.

Now you come along and are trying to tell people its better to play with a controller?

Go play a shooter without aim-assist against somebody with a mouse and you will get destroyed badly. It won't even be close.

Adding auto-aim to CS would completely take away the skill (of aiming) that this game is based around.

This is not a CoD / Halo noob shooter... it doesn't wan't to be and it never will be.

If that would be in any way true, then why would they remove the controller support completely from CS2?

Why do you think CS2 has no controller support?
Why do you think CS2 is not supported on consoles?

If you would really think that some "transition phase" have started then you wouldn't have come here to cry about the fact that CS has no controller support !?

As I said: This game is.. and never will be ... a controller game... for very good reasons.
