Pissed Unreal2 Awakening>No joystick!

Hey
It's a bummer when a shooter does not have joystick support. Unreal and Return to Napali both had it, so did Tournament. ***

I'm finding it hard to imagine how using a joystick would be better (faster) than using the old keyboard and mouse. I'm sure some people have their preferences, but I've always used a mouse for my fire, jump, and head movement, and the arrow keys for my running/strafing. How can you be competitive with a joystick, or even a gamepad?

I have found a comfortable setup using a stick and mouse combo.
Mouse = free look+ strife left/right + jump
Stick= Forward/Back, turn left/right and Fire
Keys= Everything else.

Works for me.
I have to do without a stick often, so I getting pretty good like that too.

It's just another bummer on a long list of bummers with Unreal 2.

They've spent too long on Multiplayer games and have lost the magic they once had in making superlative single-player games.

Here's hoping id and Valve still remember how to make a "great" game in Doom 3 and HL2.

If you want to play a "real" Unreal single-player game, then download "Operation Na Pali" or "Xidia Gold".

These two single player mods use the UT engine and look and play beautifully.
