AWFUL CONTROLS
like seriously folks, this game is fun and awesome but

THE CONTROLS ARE AWFUL AS F*CK

i cant have my jump outta car key x without having my parachute on foot allways being x!?

also WHY SO MANY DIFFRENT JUMPS and even a sperate button to shoot while dualwelding / using frags.

does anybody have/know a fix/mod that would allow for better controlls? :c

This is what I did,
Aim down sights - right click
Throw frag/secondary weapon - middle mouse
Map - T
It's much better.

If you were a keyboard and mouse gamer you'd know one of the main advantages of BEING a keyboard and mouse gamer is being able to bind any key to any action on any game whether its through menus or software.

I haven't played this game with mouse+keyboard that much, I've only played the demo on PC. I just bought it on here yesterday though.
However, even though for the PC I'm also primarily a "mouse+keyboard"-user (although I don't use a keyboard), I would probably still play this game with a gamepad. The thing is, I've already played this game on the PS3, and one of the reasons I got it on there is because this game pretty much feels like a console-game. And because of that it's probably so that the control-scheme was designed for a console's controller, being a gamepad. I mean, look at the dual-wielding action, the two triggers on a current gamepad makes more sense being under your left and right fingers rather than using the left and right mouse-buttons for example.
Another thing it's quite handy for is controlling the air-vehicles. Cause obviously an analogue stick on a gamepad would work better for a plane than a mouse. It can work with a mouse and/or keyboard, but it's a lot more "natural" to do it with the little "joystick" almost like with real aircraft (even though, again, this game is quite "arcade").

And I know... I know the turning and the navigating in general is kind of a drag in practice, but it only takes a bit of getting used to and you'll find enjoyment in it. Besides, this game is mostly singleplay anyway, and you don't really need to have very fast (or even "twitch") movements. This game is rather forgiving and besides that it has an aiming-assist. This game is very "arcade" and bulky, so there's little need for precision or anything like that.

So I'd recommend a gamepad for games like this one, they're obviously designed for that. Otherwise, use your creativity with bindings and maybe even macros if your controllers (be it keyboard, mouse, etc.) allow for it.

How about REBIND your controls (I rebinded my whole vehicle set up to have handbrake at shift stunt jump at z and everything else was fine the controls are perfect the way they are except for the vehicles)

I've a far bigger issue with the steering of vehicles and aircraft handling myself. If they were updated to be more like GTA V driving wouldn't be the pain in the ass it is.

Then you're missing out haha well to each their own. Good luck with keyboard and mouse with this game. It's not bad but like you said it can be a problem (I know which is why I switch to my PS3 controller).

How so? The only way keyboard and mouse controls are ♥♥♥♥ is when you cant change them. Beyond that ur just a friggin derp who cant set up his own controls.

Seperation of Jump and Chute should def be added, but the big problem is the vehicle Fire 1 and 2 get inverted from what you set them for on foot. Makes no sense. The overlappnig of commands on a key only seem to screw me up in the multi mod. L-Shift seems to be Boost and Cam change which is bad since thats my air acceleration<-or was till theres a fix.

Still an amazing game thats content beyond trumps the control flaws. 2010 > Nextgen
