"Modern Warfare 2 - Freeola Official Thread"

As the most anticipated game of the year is released today, we need a place to discuss the happenings and to arrange games!

A few people asked for this to be created and so here we go.

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

I, along with several others will be on Xbox but i know some are Ps3, but its the same game so no point in two threads!

I could use the keyboard very well actually ;D Being a piano player, i continously held the mouse with my right hand, and stretched along the keyboard with my left ;D

"So, do PC players of MW2 use the keyboard/mouse combination or a sneaky.......XBox controller......:-) ?"

How would that work? He'll need and extra pair of hands or was goro. I can't see it myself, the keyboard and mouse are you need to play. The advantage of better accuracy, more precision and lots of buttons to assign stuff to.

I believe the console version has accuracy lock on or a tweaked so you don't need to be 100% accurate.

Yeh there is a slight auto aim on console games, but i've never been able to match my sniping ability with a mouse using a controller :(

Theres not enough sensitivity. But the console does have the advantage in some games like racing where trigger buttons allow for greater sensistiviy in pressure for speed and the such. I find i drive a lot better in GTA using a joypad sometimes as i have a greater sense of feel to things.


But that said, i shoot like a dog with a joypad and on the pc driving is good enough for me to get by in GTA 4 at least.

Don't patronize young man....it doesn't become you:-)

And:

Plus, apart from the obvious, why have DICE recognized the 'joystick' again?

Hardly anyone uses joysticks. We stopped using them when we stopped playing flight sims.

Flying Corps is the oldest flying sim i've played. My dad thought he was proper technological when he got a flight stick for that :P

wing commander 4 was the flight sim we played. Did play doom 2 with it as well and you needed to calibrate your joystick everytime you played the game.

This isn't really what I had in mind, but all PC games up to and including Quake II, no matter the genre, were capable of 'joystick' support..such as Turok2:Seeds of Evil, all of the Doom series and I mean ALL Doom, Quake + expansion packs, Devastation, Serious Sam, Deus Ex, Mortyr and Mortyr II, Gunman Chronicles, Area 51 etc etc ...but why have DICE included a 'joystick option' in BF:BC2....a game developed for 2010? An obvious answer would initiallly be...it's an old and ancient graphics engine...judging by the single player escapade:-)

Is it really a mystery why a game that has controllable aircraft would have support for Joysticks?
