I can't read the OP, so I'm guessing this is the correct forum. If not, please let one of us know.

I dont think COD4 supports gamepads.........does it ?

cant you download the saitek tools that allow you to set up your buttons to do what the keyboard would do (so wouldnt matter if the game supported it or not as the pad makes the same calls the keyboard and mouse does the game would know no different)

Edit - its called SST
