I use the controller configuration where Melee is on the R3 stick. Many times, during the heat of battle, I'll be in a face-off with an opponent and will accidentally put too much pressure on the R3 stick, which causes my character to suddenly stop firing and attempt to melee the air. More often than not, this gets me killed.

Medal of Honor had this same issue which was really annoying. This is one feature that Call of Duty got right. In COD, whenever you are holding down the fire button any melee clicks are ignored.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is this just a PS3 issue?

Greg?

how bout not being a twitch whore?

OP, it's not a 'ps3 issue', it's a 'user-issue'... If it bothers you, either change button layout, get another controller or follow Spine_Ripper's advice

Def had trouble with this at the start and have heard a lot of people say this is their biggest complaint with the game. Give it time, you'll get used to it. It really is all about the finesse.

Ignore the miserable arses in here , it is frustrating I agree, it's far to sensitive , but u can change ur button layout or eventually u will get used to it. I'm still doing it occasionally and can't believe how crap it is as standard

I'm not interested in switching button layouts. I'd like the developers to fix a stupid implementation in the mechanics of the game's controls. Meleeing should never over-rule shooting.

So the devs take time out of fixing key issues to fix a little problem just for you, or you learn to change for free.


Tough choice.

Yea, happens to me all the time, in fact it just happened again stopping me from getting the Psycho skill kill.
But its my fault for putting too much pressure, the game does not need to be changed.

This absolutely needs to be fixed, it a simple solo/mute feature the programmers need to put in. Its so annoying. I'm giving this game as much time as flops before I toss another used copy out onto ebay

samehere same prob lol like the layout just svcks i gotta change it!! tho in cod i dont melee when i fire....

Yes it's annoying, but man some of u guys moan like girls over stupid things. I am not defending the game or the decision to make it so sensitive , but just change buttons or shut up whining . It's pretty simple , change buttons( not every game has to be same as cod, and melee works better on O anyway IMO as it's more responsive) , don't change and moan more, whilst ppl laugh at u for being a lil girl or sell it.
Just do ur moaning to ppl that care.

yea happens to me every now and then really annoying it only happens to me in this game and Killzone 3 and thats about it

Never had issue on kz3 tbh, whereas on this I had to change as I kept making retard of myself, hopefullyas I get better I'll not twitch as much and can switch back, but who knows, by then I'll probably just be used to it, and won't bother.

Yeah happens to me to I swear I don't push the melee but it cancels my shooting to melee. All the devs have to do is disable the game from allowing you to melee when ADSing.

But then the ones who wants to be able to melee directly from ADS will start whine all over the place. It's kind of like a double edged sword, no matter what they do someone will whine.
I think the ones who keep pressing the stick are the easiest group to have whining since they can either be more relaxed when playing, get a new controller (if the current one is worn out that is) or simply switch button layout.
