your friend fails at fps.

Bah I hate people asking why you would like to use a controller over keyboard and mouse, some people just like to play with it.

I used Xpadder for my 360 controller and that worked good, its easy to set up. A lot of games comes with support for 360 controllers now but Xpadder is great for the older games that don't have any support for it (like bf2). You can even have different profiles in Xpadder so I could have different set ups for different games, I never had to change any controls in the game.

If you work alittle with the buttons and so on it works great

Though its hard to shift weapon though

Never tried it online I was just messing around with it.

Could be a bit of fun. I'm pretty sure you could map it in the config files, you can in vBF2 I think.

Controllers are really good for stuff like NFS, but it would be hard in PR, especially with aiming etc.

mouse and keyboard owns for helis as well, but for planes its loses to a joystick. But still owns a controller in everyway.

well then some people fail, tell em to practice on mouse and keyboard and get better response time and more accuracy.

If you are going to use a controller i recomend this. its made for PC and comes with an installer etc. and I tried this a few weeks ago for helicopters and I found that mouse + keybord are much better thats just my opinion tho.

(it even has rumble shock its a very close copy)

i asked him a question, a reasonable one . keyboard and mouse DOSE own the controller. maybe he should reconsider and get use to keyboard and mouse and have higher accuracy and speed? maybe hes not a big PC gamer and dosnt realize the speed and precision you can get out of a keyboard and mouse compared to a controller ? was a legit question, dont get your panties in a bunch.

how do you know he doesn't already know how to use a mouse and keyboard? is it fun to trivialize him into a console fanboy because he dares bring a controller into your sacred environment?

maybe he wants to play in his couch? maybe he wants to try it for vehicles? maybe he wants to try it for fun?

don't be such an elitist.

I found this sentence quite funny and since this is a war game forum I will put it here. No offense to the french just a good laugh.
