Trusting everyone has their copy now, so let the fun begin tonight.

Must admit SC that I'm getting bored with it at the moment - it's the repetitive nature of the maps - some I absolutely loath now, but I still like others. Having said that, it's who you play with and how the game pans out I suppose. In the majority of mercenary team deathmatch games I play, there always seems to be a heavy dominance of prestige players with very few level 50-70 players:-) Think I'll alternate with BC2 for awhile.
yeah. I've downloaded it and played a quick session without even knowing the tech tree. I raged quit when i realised i didn't know how to build Vehicles (built the requisities, but couldn't find the building to build!). So when i started a quick attack, he came back with siege tanks and soon other stuff.
I promptly raged quit and decided to look things up before playing.
Its pretty embrassing to rage quit your first PRACTICE GAME to decide where you stand in the ladder.
Having now installed and played BF:BC2 and just completed the 20,000,000th prestige level on 'MW2 Washing up' level, this momentus feat caused me to ponder about 'control' on these PC games.
BF:BC2 is the first game for many years that has acknowledged and provides options for a joystick! As a result, I'm asking - is/are FPS multiplayer games more manageable with a keyboard/mouse setup or a controller or a joystick - these days?
Personally I always used a joystick until PC games required additional patches or too much tweaking to be worthwhile, then I returned to the keyboard/mouse setup....until now.
A controller or joystick always seemed to be far more manageable, more controllable; the keyboard/mouse combination works fine, but for 'map-ability' and 'reaction speed' a single unit seemed superior. As such, I may now search the attic for my MS Sidewinder or Saitek whatever and re-install them for both MW2 and BF:BC2!
So, do PC players of MW2 use the keyboard/mouse combination or a sneaky.......XBox controller......:-) ?

Welcome benitez01 to the forums,
No....the question was:

Ok SC, so the 'mouse' advantage is the crux of the discussion - fast look, aim and fire + one selected 'option' usually - but 'key mapping' must be the 'core' of this discussion.
A controller/joystick has multiple mapping options in one place - a controller, two handed has multiple choices - a joystick, single handed, as such, multiple choices.....keyboard, multiple choices but totally impractical - don't know how long your fingers are, but mine aren't that flexible:-)
Plus, apart from the obvious, why have DICE recognized the 'joystick' again:-)
