Finally uninstalled. I love Hunt. It’s my favorite PVP game I’ve ever played. But I have to use a controller on PC for physical reasons, which actually works well enough, I win gunfights... but there’s an input glitch where no matter what control scheme you’re using, your hunter will randomly melee when you press right trigger instead of firing your weapon. Even when aiming down sights. You go to fire your gun and get stuck in a long melee animation. Only happens in CQC PVP, but happens VERY often there. You die, every time.
For the last 3 months I’ve made repeated bug reports and never heard anything from Crytek. I know I’m in the minority using a controller, but I have no choice in that. And like I said, I land headshots with it, it works great other than this gamebreaking input problem. I won’t play in teams, because I don’t want to lose matches through no fault of my own for other people. I played 5 Quickplays this morning and died in a melee animation for 3 of them, when I should’ve been landing a gunshot. I won the 2 it didn’t happen. But it’s infuriating.
Anyway, it’s a bummer. Maybe eventually Crytek will add a “disable right trigger gun melee” option for controllers and III be back. But it’s been in this long. I suspect controller users just give up a lot sooner than I did and are afraid to say anything because people just tell you you are stupid for playing with one. For some people, it’s the only comfortable way to play.
