    Brilliant!

    Especially since we get torso and hand weapons separated.

    I've found the X-52 pro pretty good for mechwarrior 4 (I want to try it with MW3 but I can't get it to run under win7 64) you use the twisty axis for torso twist, it has a 2 stage trigger for weapon groups 1 and 2 plus plenty of buttons on top and on the throttle for other weapons groups, active radar toggle, communication menu, targeting etc. I actually don't find it all that weird to aim with a joystick but I'm used to flight sims. The X-52 has a secondary stick on the throttle which I want to use for the fine aiming thing that MW3 has if only I could get it to run properly. I intend to use my Attack 3 shitty joystick in my left hand for this game just to see if I can, hooray for it being ambidextrous.

    For a long time I just used the keyboard though, numpad for direction, torso twist and torso pitch, standard controls pretty much.

    Can't tell if sarcasm or not....


    Paradox: How is the attack 3? Cheap obviously, but ambidextrous sticks are pretty hard to find.

    It's not actually that bad for the price. It's really quite precise and it's comfortable in either hand, it's only got 4 buttons on top + trigger + 6 buttons on the base that I never use and the integrated throttle is pretty bad but I quite like it. The best thing about it is how precise it is which is pretty surprising.

    Hmm, thats for the NA servers.

    I'm not sure I even want to roll on the EU servers after playing World of Tanks. Cant understand what half your team says.

    Should be acceptably playable on NA server from EU right?

    Ping is around 200ish from the UK apparently, so not too bad. Frankly, it's not a twitch reflex game, so I doubt you'll see a problem.

    I'm considering NA servers too, same reason. Plus, the fact it's 2 weeks until the packages go on sale and still ZERO news about EU is not a great sign.

    Also, this.

    No idea if Founders Mechs will be customisable yet or not. I am going to go on a limb and say "not", like WoT Gold Tanks.

    I confess i've always just been mouse and keyboard, but would like something a bit more fun and/or immersive.

    The idea of aiming with a joystick is weird though...ideally I would think joystick in left hand for movement and torso twist, mosue in right for aiming?

    Dunno, trying to get my head around it!
    Pedals for controlling direction, Throttle controls speed, Joystick controls aiming. (individual weapon groups mapped as well)

    Hat 1 controls view, Hat 2 weapon selection, trigger 1 targets under reticule, trigger 1+2 fires selected group.

    various functions mapped as required, definately going to have the teamspeak shortcut on it, probably on the clutch.

    Used this in MW3 when arms and torso were completely independent was ace firing torso mounted weapons at one target and arm mounted weapons at another. forward / backward were torso up down twist was torso twist left / rigt were legs and throttle for speed buttons on the stick were torso mounted weapons while mouse did all of the arm related stuff.

    Only difference was i used stick right hand mouse left. not being able to do this in MW 4 was a big contributor to my 30mins play time before un-installing and throwing the cd.

    I'm seriously considering getting a joystick for this. There's still the whole control mapping thing though, what setups are going to be best?

    I do like the idea of stick in one hand mouse in the other, although which one? I've got an ambidextrous mouse so I can probably go for a non-ambidextrous joystick (giving me more joystick options) and then just learn to aim with the mouse left handed.

    As far as joysticks go I'm thinking CH Fighterstick.

    Especially since we get torso and hand weapons separated.
    Just sepparate Arm and Torso weapons with groupings.
    Arm weapons annoying.

    Arm weapons are now worth having.

    Well, bad piloting will of course have that effect (I know it's not quite that simple )

    The greater range of movement is damned handy though.
