Why Warzone is making TimTheTatman, Cloakzy & more consider controller switch Youtube, @TimTheTatMan \/ Instagram, @Cloakzy[jwplayer br5AuoVJ]The console vs. PC debate is eternal, but it appears that Call of Duty: Warzone streamers like TimTheTatMan, Cloakzy and KingRichard are temporarily swapping over to controller in lieu of mouse and keyboard. Like Fortnite, Warzone\u2019s inclusion of PC vs. console crossplay has brought about controversy and debate. We\u2019ve seen console-dominant streamers like Tyler \u2018TeeP\u2019 Polchow make the swap to PC, but a variety of keyboard and mouse players are now swapping to controller and, while each cites different reasons, they all seem to agree that Infinity Ward\u2019s battle royale plays better on the joysticks. Tim\u2019s swap to controller seems to have been relatively unprompted, despite the coincidental timing that the Scuf he unboxed just happened to be Dr Disrespect-branded on the day that the Doc was making his highly anticipated return to streaming. Later, Tim did seem pleased with the transition though, as he claimed to have \u201cnever lost a Gulag on controller.\u201d Meanwhile, Cloakzy and KingRichard are much more competitive players and therefore have more intentional rationales behind their decisions to try out controllers. On his stream, Cloakzy asked for his chat\u2019s help with choosing a new Scuf to order before exploring why he wanted to make the transition. Although he earlier just summarized that \u201ccontroller is really easy for Warzone\u201d and that controller lobbies \u201care muy bueno,\u201d he went on to clarify that PC can enable \u201ca lot more flashy plays,\u201d but with \u201ca controller, you\u2019re a lot more consistent.\u201d While it\u2019s hard to verify whether controller lobbies are actually easier, the rest of his analysis is reasonable. Players are able to pull off nasty flicks with a mouse, so the flashiness is there, but the strength of aim assist on controller makes it easier to have a higher floor in your performance. KingRichard\u2019s reasoning for a swap to controller seems more determined by the overall trend in gaming, which he believes to be moving in the direction of controllers dominating the majority of competitive play. While this argument doesn\u2019t hold weight for games like Counter-Strike, Overwatch, or Valorant, it\u2019s not farfetched for titles like Call of Duty and Halo. As KingRichard responds to a chat asking if his controller switch will last through Halo\u2019s release, \u201cI\u2019m playing games on controller. They\u2019re not making games that are competitive on keyboard and mouse, that s**t is dead.\u201d This recent surge in switches to controller may, in part, be influenced by the fact a team of controller users, NICKMERCS, Swagg, and DiazBiffle, just won the $100,000 Toronto Ultra Warzone tournament (over the likes of Cloakzy and TimTheTatMan). Regardless of exact reasoning behind each player\u2019s decision to swap their preferred input, this should at least provide for some good barometer adjustments as they can now more accurately compare systems. If Tim starts dropping 20-bombs and surviving parachute drops, we\u2019ll know which input is better once and for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
