Joystick

[MonkeyBlitch]

I was wondering if using a joystick to play UT2004 is better than using the keyboard perhaps? Anybody try this before on any action/shooting game?

[MonkeyBlitch]

Anyone?

I used to play Doom I with a joystick but that's because it can't use a mouse. Nothing beats a keyboard and mouse.

i once (i admit a long time ago) tryed to play a FPS- i think it was quake two can't be sure thoug- with a joystick and realy the interface of a fps comess best into it's own with a keyboard and some sort of pointing device.


HiHo, have you tried using a trackball???

i am asuming your mouse prob is not a technical one

HiHo, have you tried using a trackball???

I never liked track balls. I am just using the MS Optical wheel mouse that came with my keyboard. It is a good mouse but I hope to get an MX700 soon.

[Hi Ho]

LOL That's ok. I couldn't really figure out what you were talking about.

Ok thanks!

[Hi Ho]

Yeah I forgot to mention as well that most FPS games today don't even support a joystick anyway.

Yep, nothing beats a keyboard and mouse.

Does anybody use a joystick to fly helicopters in battlefield desert combat? If you use one, do you have to use it for moving around and everything else as well, or can you switch between it and a mouse and keyboard when on foot and when in a vehicle?

theres one... ughh... cant remmeber the name... its really old, but supposably the best because you can turn the recoil off since it doesn't work with bf1942 or dc...
