Welcome to the pc gaming forums. Perhaps I could recommend you some other games since you like CoD 4.

  • Battlefield 2
  • Crysis Warhead
  • Counter Strike Source
  • Day of Defeat Source
  • Insurgency (Half-life 2 mod)
  • Farcry 2 (dont listen to all the negatives, its still a decent game)

You could buy the USB Xbox controller and simply plug into your PC. Then it should grab the drivers from MS Servers and automatically install them for you. You could also get the wirless controller, but you'll need the special wireless adapter with it also.

Like NSR...3... that guy above me said, you can use a 360 controller, but expect to be royally butt raped.ZuluEcho14

:lol: Thats true, your best bet is to get use to the controls since a keyboard and mouse is 100 times better then a control can ever be for FPS. :D

i suggest u use the key board and mouse. it is so much better then controler.

u buy a 360 controler that will work, it comes with a white thing that u plug into usb port u sync the controler to it.

You can play with any gamepad any game.

Use xpadder, to map buttons to keystrokes and mouse buttons.

If you go online against PC players with a controller, you will die.

Seriously, try and get used to the keyboard and mouse; they're far superior.

You can use a gamepad with any game as stated. But I strongle suggest you spend a few more hours with keyboard and mouse.
