MW2 - No 360 controller gamepad support yet?

[maldo]

This is an EPIC FAIL again.

Thanks for nothing Infinity Ward.

[S0LIDGAMER]

First Person Shooter with Controller?! O_o Come on, seriously!

[Wild Dog]

This is an EPIC FAIL again.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH see this is what a i mean... people cry out of nothing.

MUA MUA MUA NO DS THIS IS LIKE THE 360 version THEY WIL FAIL MUA MUA MUA

Then they cry about not having the option to use the damm 360 gamepad on PC......

[trusteft]

One person, one freaking person. And it is his right to want gamepad support, all ports should have it.

[myCull]

I would also like 360 gamepad support for PC.

It's how I like to play single player games, it allows me to lean back in my chair and be more relaxed.

IW is downright lazy if there is no support for this :s

[dragonthc]

just play it on the 360 then. seriously, what kind of a person would willingly choose gamepad over mouse/keyboard for an FPS game?

[trusteft]

While I prefer the mouse+keyboard combo, depending on the game it can be just fine using a 360 controller. Even for FPS.

Of all the things to get pissed at, this is the one that doesn't matter.
Controllers are the bane of FPS games.

[myCull]

We want controller support for the PC.

If you don't like that, nobody cares. Stop trolling.

[trusteft]

Not really. While I don't play FPS games with my 360 controller on my PC, when I do on the 360, I can't say they are horrible. Depending on the game, they can be quite good.

This guy don't want to have support for the 360 gamepad, he just want to bash IW, like the other people.....

[Helonion]

I would rather have a mouse and keyboard usability on the 360 and a controller on the pc. Of course I'm not paying for multiplayer which is free on pc, to play on a console who charges for multiplayer. Why else did live on windows fail.

[dupton69]

umm pc anyone ?

[GunnZero]

This is an EPIC FAIL again.

Thanks for nothing Infinity Ward.

sometimes a gamepad will work even if it says its not compatible. BF2142 said that gamepads werent an option and i plugged my ps3 controller in and it worked fine. i sometimes like to use gamepads so i kinda hope they allow some type of support...even if they dont tell us...

[Soapy]

Making an FPS game controller compatible is kind of a waste since the gamepad actually makes things worse for the typical player.

There are programs out their that you can use to play any game with a controller.

[Petchyy]

The only thing the 360 controller is good at on PC is Audiosurf.

[ahmoudy]

I never played Fallout 3 with a KB&M

and I put in nearly 300 hours into that game.

[RangerXML]

Isn't one of the Games for Windows LIVE requirements that it support the 360 controller?

EDIT: I only play GTA IV with the 360 controller, KB+M is horrible for driving.

[FedskaTheOne]

GamePad for PC will always be a good choice for gaming, you can laid back on a couch, you don't have to search for a button to push, cause everything is close to your fingers, and don't get me started on racing games. MW2 would be a dream to play with game controller. Those who say that it sucks to use gamepad on pc abviously never held one in there hands, and those who held on but stil say it sucks- are trolls :)

The only reason controller support works well for console FPS is because of the built in aim assist.

and even then its still horrible imo :)
on pc the xbox controller is ideal for games like gta or just cause like stated above. But for fps or aiming in general its inferior to the mouse.
i know xbox players who decided to use a mod so they can use keyboard/mouse on xbox cause they were fed-up with the analogue sticks (they own with it, but its unfair). Playing with a controller on the pc version of mw2, i bet you will get your ♥♥♥ handed to you (and you cant make the shots you can do with a mouse, and movement is clunky not smooth). As you know by now, its not and never will be supported for non windows live games. But if you want to force it, then simply google for it and there are programs to map the controller buttons to keyboard keys, though you probably wont get vibration, and you sure wont get the aim assist. anyway, good luck, no trolling intended.

I care.


I hear-by declare this thread over.

[PureNrg]

FPS = Mouse and Keyboard
Racing Games = Controller
:D

[coprophagia]

FPS = Mouse and Keyboard
Racing Games = Mouse and Keyboard

Remote controlled cars / aircraft/ boats = Controllers

Gamepads = trashcan

[Mastershroom]

FPS = mouse + keyboard
Car/truck/motorcycle/boat racing games = steering wheel
Flight sim = joystick + throttle

;)

1+ million 360 an PS3 players xD

[coprophagia]

No mouse + keyboard + gamepad + joystick support yet.

lol power braking my 350 with the "w" key and "Spacebar" lol

[ytsejamer05]

Xbox 360 controller + PC = FAIL!, you want to play with a controller? you should of bought an Xbox 360. You cant compare the accuracy of a mouse and keyboard than with two analog sticks. I have tried it, played MW2 on console at a friends house and it was horrible. As on owner of MW2 on PC (shamefully...); mice and keyboards are better for FPS on PC.

Racing games and RPG's on PC are another story...

[vinniem]

anybody here can play FPS with gamepads?

I just can't, not even 10 minutes.

And they all have some strange aim assist to help them playing fps on consoles. With all that said, I think any excelent PC player can kick ♥♥♥ of some excelent console player.

[sneakyninja314]

One person, one freaking person. And it is his right to want gamepad support, all ports should have it.

Theoretically yes, but looking at IW as a whole... probably not gonna happen. Possibility of controller support in Black Ops, but meh. PC game is for PC which means mouse n keyboard... they REALLY wanna use a controller they should get mw2 for console.

[Mastershroom]

If you really HAVE to use a gamepad and cripple yourself, use Xpadder.

[menialwitnesl1l]

Why exactly is mouse+keyboard better than the xbox 360 controller? I find the controller natural for me and movement just seems to be fluent and natural. I understand that some people love the keyboard setup, but why? (please dont troll, we're all adults with our own opinions here) If I were to play multiplayer, i'd get thrashed if i used the keyboard/mouse setup. Is it worth getting used to that config. (keep in mind, i'm reallllyyy good with an xbox controller, and verrryyy ♥♥♥♥y with mouse and keyboard)

[Tolon]

My nephew sometimes plays on my gaming machine. He is seven years old and he has a great time on Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 using the Xbox 360 controller with the dongle i bought.

He loves MW2 so i'd also like to pipe up and support the notion for gamepad support for MW2.

It's something which i don't see ever happening, but who knows?

[Milwaukee]

Gamepad is about the only that shows that multiple platforms aren't one in the same. Why aren't you playing console if you want to use a controller?

Why is a keyboard+ mouse better than gamepad?

Really? While you look around with your thumb and doing this rather stiff we PC player use one of our hand to control the mouse to look in any direction. This is by far smoother and quicker and more accurate at the same time than your thumb can do.

Microsoft tried to do 360vsPC but it didn't end well because PC users dominated so much that they had to be nerfed. While 360 players had to be buffed. Just to try to balance things out. Shadowrun is a perfect example of this. They tried with other games but MS shut down the studio as it wasn't worth the time. If we where to join the 360 online part we would dominate you guys so much it would make bad sales for the game.

MS also just took some random people. Think what would happen if those high level guys come in.

Gamepad has it's values but it just don't cut it for FPS. You guys get Auto aim assist after all something we PC users never gotten.


As for this game getting 360 gamepad support? I highly doubt it. IW are most likely busy pumping out maps than pleasing the community. We haven't gotten an update in quite some time either.

I HAVE SHADOW RUN. EPIC FAILURE. if your good with a controller you will be ok with it against mice. the reastion time to aim with a mouse isnt as high as with a controller. so while your trying to aim the mouse already has a headshot. but i like using controllers for certain games even fps's. oh btw there was never a cod game with controller support. you will have to use an emulator to map the buttons and sticks. which defeats the pressure sensitive triggers and sticks of the controller.

We have it in Red Faction: Guerrilla for sure.

ok another hate-for-nothing thread, what else after this? no-touch screen? or double view like nintendo ds? come on guys just buy 360 controller and port it, search youtube or google, pointless.....

[hahaokayman]

You can set up 360 controller for use on MW2 via 3rd party program. But I hear its cumbersome.

On Microsoft's website it says any game with the "Games for Windows" logo is compatible for use with the Xbox 360 controller.

Lets leave IW alone, WTF MSFT?

[XAFAfterShock2]

yeah I'm sure they will bring back the last mw2 dev that has been layed off for 6 months back to work to throw in a patch so 2 guys can use 360 controllers and charge you another $10 to do it. I'm not an anti gamepad sorta person, I just picked up an afterglow controller for gta iv and a few other games but as for FPS games they just don't belong.
