Could we get an improvement with the first person camera view. I play on Windows pc with just a keyboard. For examle when ever i'm just sitting bazarring and i switch to first person i try to look around with the arrow keys and the camera jurks around insanly. Any way to make it so that the arows move the camera around smoothly while in 1st person, expecially when looking up and down?
Unfortunately, when you translate a digital input (arrow key) to an analog input (the emulated camera stick), you lose all the freedom of control inbetween 0 and 100%. Since the keyboard is emulating PS2 controls, this isn't possible. At least, that's my assumption on how it works.

What do you mean with 'jurks around insanly'? I use it occasionaly to rotate to better shield against 10-15 mandies while aoe killing, but it looks pretty smooth.

I believe it means when 'looking around' in that Point of View with the arrow-keys (not num-pad).
As Jeez mentioned, the keyboard only has an on/off function for this while the analog-stick of a game-pad actually moves the 'camera' smoothly according to how much you are moving it. When replaced with a keyboard, this indeed translates to 0% and 100% of the stick-movement.
I imagine it would very likely require 'too much work' to implement an alternate behaviour for the 'camera' 'at this time', but I for one would certainly welcome it.
