MW2 question. simple really

fastwunz · 13 Nov 2009 at 20:41

regardles - using a pad is beyond ridiculous. As is asking about it on this forum. a double whammy if you will.

Im sure the op isnt stupid, more unenlightened perhaps. ;-)

i finished mw2 pc with an xbox360 controller using xpadder and it was a blast on my 100" projector, couch and 5.1 surround. dont listen to the haters, they have no clue why a pad can be great in some situations.

So you don't think this is mean spirited or an offensive tone???

"Using a controller instead of mouse in FPS on computer is like doing heart transplant with a machete instead of a surgical knife.

Each to their own i guess."

I actually find that comment highly mean spirited AND offensive!!

Jesus H Christ!

How is it mean or offensive? It is a simple comparison of extreme ends of the spectrum. :rolleyes:

Thats not offensive by any stretch of the imagination, exagerated perhaps but the point is valid.

As has been said, best to buy it for 360 so you can sell it on when your done with it.

HAz · 13 Nov 2009 at 23:26

I wouldn't say Dan.m was trolling - he had a good point. The SP game is very short and if you're not interested in MP you may well find the whole thing a bit poor value. You can't resell it on PC (well, not without preplanning and having a separate Steam account for it), whereas as you can on 360, so it's worth considering at least. All you lose out on is the ability to run at higher visual quality, depends how much that's worth to you.

Idea; Buy it for the 360.

Why would you want to buy a FPS Pc game and then use a controller with it?

tomos said:

because i want to

Heh, I told you; If you wanted it with support for a controller, get it on the 360... It has been optimized for controller support after all.
I asked you why you would want a FPS game on PC and specifically want to play it with a controller. "because i want to" is hardly useful and worthy answer on your part is it?
Sorry but, as many others, I fail to see the point in purchasing a FPS PC game only to use a controller with it.. Care to explain or am I just flaming again? :rolleyes:

In my experience pc game's that used with a controller, specifically FPS games, have always been slower than their console counter-parts. Maybe it's just me.

Perhaps he just prefers playing with a controller? Maybe he also prefers the higher quality visuals that a PC can offer? Perhaps he doesn't have an XBox 360 or a PS3? Not that any of those matter in the slightest in the context of the thead anyway.

There are a myriad of reasons he may want to and I don't see why any of them justify people being a ***** towards him, he asked a simple question and there was no need for the hostile response he got at all.

Dan.m · 16 Nov 2009 at 01:32

Well as you pointed out i hardly considered my post to be useless\flame\trolling, as i just assumed by saying he wanted to use an xbox controller that he has an xbox.

So i was trying to do him a favour by suggesting he could save a nice amount of money by buying it for the console (that he may or may not have) and playing the 6hour? Single player experience, then selling it on.

Kenai · 16 Nov 2009 at 01:35

Assumption is the mother of all **** ups

I also have a 360 controller but I only have a PC, I just got it for driving games and stuff like that.

Dan.m · 16 Nov 2009 at 01:38

Ha yes maybe it is, although i have to say my assumption was an educated one.

"i'm not interested in the online play on either tbh due to the obvious for the PC version and the lack of a region filter on the console."

You need to get out more. And as everyone has said, FPS + Controller, odd..... And you're pretty stupid if you posted on here expecting no one to point it out.

So why bring them up lol. I ain't here to be a ***** pal or argue, I just found it odd. I gave him the advice to get it on the 360.. Apparently I was flaming... He has a 360

What he said ^^

Kenai · 16 Nov 2009 at 02:00

"you're pretty stupid if you posted on here expecting anyone to be even remotely helpful" would be a more accurate statement.

Seems most people are more interested in insulting the guy and taking the **** than anything else.

rhysduck said:

sigh...

I brought them up because those are reasons he might have for doing it. The reason they don't matter and thus why (this is the important bit, pay attention, I figured you might get this but seems not) your opinion of playing with a controller doesn't matter, is because he asked if it works, not whether you approve of it.

Lethagized · 16 Nov 2009 at 03:37

Well we have now heard MW2 doesn't support the X360pad, but any game with the 'games for windows' logo on it will. I'm actually surprised MW2 doesn't support it because all the crapness from the 360 version is in it, so why no x360 pad support?? It just doesn't make sense
