you can do it using the same old Reach gamepad input for it. there isn't an option to do it on a keyboard, to my knowledge, but you can do it with a gamepad and then continue playing with a keyboard after.

That's pretty silly...

I mean, is it really such a game changing feature that is causing PC gamers to be at a disadvantage? It's a minor feature that was probably overlooked by the devs at the time, and considering the current state of the key binding situation, it doesn't surprise me that it wasn't implemented.

I just said that it's silly.

Didn't really give context as to if you were calling the fact that you can't do it on the keyboard silly or that the feature itself is silly.

when will the prejudice against mouse and keyboard players end in this game! I have a dream that one day, controllers will not have massive advantages against our peoples! We were once a proud and prosperous people, then the aliens came down and gave controllers lock on and super magnets so that they may conquer us with ease! We must fight back!

It's pretty silly that you need a 3rd party external device to use a feature on PC yes. But I don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ you are on about disadvantages. I just said that it's silly. It's pretty minor remark for a pretty minor issue.

Likewise, I have a dream...that one day gamers will just be gamers, and not refer to each other as "console peasants."

But that'd be like asking for some reflection.

Xbox controller isn't third-party though, since that is the original input device this game was played on. Also, I assumed you calling it silly meant that it was stupid that PC players couldn't do it with a KB/M and controller players could.
Jesus christ. I remember that being a thing...

Yes it is. A controller is an extra peripheral. and PC isn't windows. Xbox controller isn't the only controller you can use on PC either. The bottom line is that a controller on PC is extra. Mouse and Keyboard are basically a requirement to use a PC. So you'd expect everything to work on the standard control method first and optional ones second, but it's the opposite.

Should all VR games be forced to work with Keyboard and Mouse?

Is Halo MCC a VR game? Do you need an extra non-standard peripheral device to access all the functions of the game on Xbox?

No but it is a similar, also the Xbox controller is hardly non standard. I have a controller for pc that as of now I have only used on BeamNG Drive. Does it require it? BeamNG doesn't require a controller. You can play it relatively well with Keyboard and Mouse, there are even some features (using partial throttle for example) that you can't do if you use Keyboard and Mouse. For some people they might really like using the Controller on this game. It is hardly required.
