Can I use a controller to play this game?Follow

#1 Dec 01 2004 at 3:50 PM Rating: Default
I picked up a Logitech Rumblepad 2 Gamepad that I like to use when I play other PC games. I don't mind using the keyboard, but I really like the controller. Is it wise to use the controller or can I even use it with this game? Thanks for your help!

I suppose in theory if the buttons are programmable to keyboard buttons / commands then sure.. don't see why not...

how well it'll work in practice though is up in the air.

yar if it's programmable to emulate kb buttons.

i use a nostromo speedpad on all games, including eq2, eq, wow, and coh, so that i dont have to shift too many gears going from one to the next, as i have the key layouts programmed the same way in all of them. the new speedpad has 100+ programmable commands, since you can set up to 3 shift modes. i even take it on trips :x.

the only concern i would have with what i see on the one you linked would be that it only has 10 buttons. that might hinder you a bit, but give it a shot :).

Bah... I never trusted controller for MMO...
Like when I used to play FF XI with PSX2 people, they weren't even able to follow the target correctly. I always though it was a big disadvantage...
Just my opinion.

the controller i use is basically a 1handed kb. the only reason i use my kb is to chat, really. i rarely have to move either hand from the mouse or the controller to actually play, and it's easier on the hands that tend to complain if i'm not nice to em :).
