    xbox controller support?

    why cant the devs just make sure that the game is "fully" controller compatible instead of potential new gamers having to pay for programs like xpadder or Pinnacle? that was the original intent with this thread. what i am saying is, is that if xpadder and Pinnacle can do it, why dont the devs do it? remember we are looking to get more people into this game and away from their stupid consoles.....respect

    It is not impossible that soon there will be a generation that has never used a keyboard with tactile feedback and mouse. BI Studios would be wise to sit up and take notice. Agreed!

    xbox controller support?

    thanks for all those who have added to this post since its start. i told you about a profile someone created on pinnacle game profiler (no i am not affiliated to any company). i also tried the xpadder option. i did this to see for myself which would best benefit prospective console players to come over to the real world in ARMA. i tried the pinnacle profile and must say that any console gamer would get on with it just fine, whoever mapped that profile (think the user name on pinnacle is R3H4H) did a great job, by assigning the shoulder buttons to act as "shift functions" which in turn allows the player to play the full game without even having to touch the keyboard or mouse. as mentioned before i am converted and prefer the mouse and keyboard now. i started this thread to get some reaction in regards to getting more players to play ARMA. to do so the devs will have to give serious consideration to emulating or supporting the xbox controller fully and not just part functionality . personally i think people should be allowed to play with whatever input devices they please without any risk of being laughed at. come on Bohemia, support the controller generation and you will sell a lot more games than before. i qualify this statement by saying that ARMA is EASILY the greatest mil-shooter ever and consoles will not be able to compete with this title at ALL. ARMA!!!! ---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ---------- i think most would agree with you in regards to mouse and kb mate. please keep in mind the purpose of this thread....to get more to play it.

    i think people should be more tolerant of others preferences. i mentioned that i find the mouse and keyboard better than the controller, but that it did indeed take some time and dedication to get my head around (keep in mind i used to be a console gamer). i think that the issues raised here warrants serious consideration from the devs to make this title more accessible to those with wrist problems and also those who might want to "convert" like i did. surely some old school pc gamers will have nothing good to say for controllers, however i think even they will acknowledge the sales potential if this game was fully compatible with controllers. lets stop the whole mouse and keyboard vs controller debate (i know what the score is). how about instead we see if we can bring this game to more people.... just a thought really respect

    you and i are on the same page for sure, thanks for adding the bits on ergonomics, i did not even think of writing anything about it, but hell it is all VERY relevant!

    by default i dont think xbox controller has enough buttons, but as mentioned some bloke managed to map the whole game on pinnacle game profiler using the left shoulder button as a "shift" function. i have to say though that once u get used to mouse and kb it is better than controller

    xbox controller support?

    i am with you on that, i was just mentioning this issue from another perspective. this game has in effect killed my xbox for me. this however might not be so "easily" achieved with others....

    xbox controller support?

    been looking around on the net for anyone who actually succeeded to map a xbox controller to arma 2. found a profile on pinnacle game profiler, where a lad mapped the whole game to a xbox controller, doing so by using left shoulder button as a "shift" button to then access other functions. ---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ---------- i agree with you on these comments, it takes time to get to that stage though and not everyone will have the perseverance for that, that is why i thought i'd ask the question..

    xbox controller support?

    indeed that is what i am suggesting. currently one cant really play the game with a xbox controller alone. i know it might be difficult, but surely it can be coded or something....i honestly think it will pull a completely new range of players

    xbox controller support?

    good evening to all the good people. being a recent console convert myself, i was wondering if the devs would consider providing full support for controller (xbox type) for this game. now before all the hardcore pc gamers get upset, i mention this for a reason. as mentioned i have started playing this myself recently and i love the arma series (easily the best mil-shooter ever). it took me time to get used to mouse and keyboard and to be honest i now prefer it over controllers. i recon bohemia could make a killing on this next title if they could also release "full support" for the controller generation. the reason i say this is because i have many friends who have now seen this game and they all have the same comment to make: "we will play this if we could use our controllers". i think the devs should put some serious thought into this as it could net them many console gamers who are frankly tired of the cod's of this world. what do you think?
