hi guys i just borrowed call of duty 4 of a friend of mine, i have installed it and had a look around the menus but i cannot find any option to use a controller,
can i use a controller for this game or is it strictly keyboard and mouse?
i would like to use an xbox 360 controller
many thanks
glen

after a bit of searching around the web it appears there is no controller support, however there are programs that you can but that enable you to configure your controller buttons to behave like keyboard keys, i guess i shall look a bit further into one of them, which is a bit of an anticlimax as i cant play games with keyboard and mouse and was looking forward to playing that this evening,
oh well, think i might just give up on pc gaming and buy a 360 lol | |

What.. NO..
Learn to play with KB/mouse. It's MUCH better for FPS games anyways. Once you get use to it, you'll never go back to a controller.
Plus if your a PC gamer, you can join games with your fav TIMO members here.  | |

the thing is my pc is in my lounge, i think the wife would get pissed off with the incessant clicking of the keyboard keys lol, could buy a quieter keyboard i suppose, have you ever played with a trackball mouse, how does that compare to a normal mouse, a bit tight for space on my desk you see, got two pc's and old xbox and an amplifier on it lol | |

get an Optical Trackball. trackball are nice, I did that for a year or so, about 6 or 7 years ago, worked for awhile, but eventually went back to mouse.
at the time I couldn't afford the near $100 price tag of Logitechs Optical trackballs, or any other manufactuers, and the basic trackball I had (logitech) collected lint and built up dirt on the ball too often and started sticking. so I moved up to a better optical mouse, and went back to mouse and keyboard instead.
I'm waiting for someone to come out with a high grade laser Trackball, but have not seen any yet. (would be nice to buy different styled balls to increase/decrease sensitivity for the laser to pick up, I think you guys know what I'm talking about anyways)

i currently have a kensington optical trackball which occasionally gets all clogged up with lint and needs cleaning out, no real drama but when it starts to stick it can be a touch annoying | |
