1) Is the game 360 controller compatible. I'm a console player generally, and I prefer to keep to controllers whenever possible. Why do I get this on PC then, you may ask? Simply because it's £9.99 on Steam and as you all probably--64 player fragfests!

2) So that falls comfortably into my second question. Another primary reason as to why I'm buying Modern Warfare is the 64 player fragfests I keep hearing on about. Is this true? How many players do the basic modes like Team Deathmatch and Search and Destroy support?

Thanks in advance.

1. I have no idea 2. To have 64 player matches u have to play a specific mod/map that was not ORIGINALY in the game. So pretty much no unless u mod it.

1. No

2. Yes, but It becomes very chaotic unless its on a large map.

1) Probably, not sure if it's supported right away, but there are always ways. 2) Yes. But you're just aswell skipping it on PC if you aren't going to use Mouse and Keyboard and are only interested in online. You'll never even get a kill.

Thanks for the quick, and kind responses guys. Much appreciated! :) If 360 controller's however are not allowed and you have to get involved with the modding and editing aspects to get the 64 players part then I just won't bother.

You don't have to mod or edit anything, you just join a 64 server and wait for the custom maps to download since you obviously can't play on the standard maps, those are too small even for 32 players.

You don't have to mod anything. Just join a server that has 64 players and their you go.

You're not going to enjoy multiplayer if you use a controller. Well at least it will get old fast. You just won't be able to keep up with everyone else.

I bought the game and am ejoying it. There are still tons of people playing it online and the campain is still beter then mw2 or cod5 imo. Def worth the 15 dollars. I dont see why a 360 controller wouldnt work, most of the kills you get come when the other people dont see you any way, but I use the kb.mouse.

1. You will get rolled if your use a gamepad and have no chance.. Their are only a few 64 player servers and its just a massive spamfest.If you want 64 players go play BF2. 2. 90% of servers are 32 players are under. S and D is generally even smaller.

COD 4 multiplayer is brilliant. No, there is no control pad support, play with the keyboard and mouse for a while, get used to it and you'll soon discover why.

Worth a tenner of anyones money.
