I am switching from 360 to PS3, but I use an adapter+wired 360 controller and I hear that in KZ2 and many other PS3 shooters the fire button is mapped to R1 instead of R2.

Can you switch this around in KZ2?

Is this the norm on PS3, or are just a few games like this? What about UC2?

Yeah, there's a couple of settings that use R2 to fire.

R1 to fire is the standard for shooters on PS3. Uncharted 2 uses R1, all CoD games use R1, too.

How depressing.... :( Hope all those games have options to just switch the shoulder buttons around. Thanks for the info though.

Some, but not all FPS games are mapped like this, although most have several alternative control maps or defineable option.

I believe KZ2 is one such game that has several control maps you can choose from.

Personally I prefer the R1 fire button, it operates alot quicker than the R2

You should get a pair of Gioteck Real Triggers.

It's not just the triggers, it's the analog sticks mostly. That's why I need a 360 controller, but firing with R1 on that would be lame.

The trigger buttons are flat on the PS3 Controller, square like, unlike on the Xbox 360 controller where the front ones are small and the back triggers are in a hook shape.

Can you switch fire to R2 in the CoD games? Otherwise, I may have to re-consider the MW2 360 bundle.

Missing out on what? My favorite genre is FPS, it's nearly all I play. I can't play with a dual shock, and the control settings make playing with a 360 controller unappealing as well. Which would make FPS basically a non-option for me on PS3, which is a no-go. I already explored all options to make the PS3 palatable for me as an FPS fan, and have failed. The only option left is FragFX, but I don't want to use a mouse either.

^This is not meant to offend PS3 fanboys, BTW. I think your console is awesome and wanted to get it over another 360. But I simply can't use the controllers for my favorite genre of games.

R1 is the trigger button on PS3... it's not exactly like 360 dude... but yeah, there are a few options to make R2 shoot. However, I don't think you'll stick with that saying the L2/R2 buttons suck on PS3... really the only complaint about the controller.

Check out Gioteck Real Triggers.

What is "winge"? Do you mean "whine"? I don't even like Halo, and it's not "whining" to say you don't like PS3 controllers for shooting games. Go get a girlfriend and stop taking your console so seriously. LOL@getting offended by somebody liking a different controller.

Again, I intended to use an XBOX controller with an adapter, which is why I want to know if I can change the firing/aiming to L2/R2, specifically in CoD. I know the PS3 triggers are lame and I know about Real Triggers. It's the analog sticks I hate most on DS3. There are no attachments to fix those.

That has nothing to do with anything. I have tried shooters with PS controllers multiple times. Way to jump to ignorant and baseless conclusions, not that it surprises me. It has nothing to do with and individual game, it has to do with me not having little girl hands so the DS3 is uncomfortable and hard to aim with. The only one "crying" is you, and all because somebody who already admitted your little console is best just doesn't like the controller. Grow up buddy, and either answer my question or quit whining on my thread, please.

That's the adapter I intended to use, but using an Xbox controller's LB button to fire would be lame for me. That's why I want to know if you can switch the buttons in CoD to L2 to bring up your sights and R2 to fire. If so, I'll get that. If not, I'll consider a FragFX V.2 (only because a buddy of mine was just telling me I'd be a tard not to) but more likely go for the MW2 360 bundle.

I appreciate the sentiment, but no need to apologize. I know he doesn't speak for the whole PS3 community. Thanks anyways though.

Yeah, I can see how it would be better with the DS3, but with the 360 controller, using the "bumpers" to fire just feels wrong.

dk00111
Thank you very much for the link/answer man. And I just don't like the DS3 because I feel the analog sticks are poorly placed, not to mention the R2/L2 buttons. I have fairly large hands, and the analog sticks being right next to one another is very uncomfortable for me, and makes it hard to aim. If I try to strafe right, while aiming to the left my thumbs hit each other and get me killed. Not to mention my hands cramp up badly after holding it for too long. It's only a problem (for me particularly) with shooters though. I don't "hate" Playstation controllers, and find them superior for SOME games, such as most fighting games. But I primarily play FPS, and my performance drops significantly when using a DS3 as opposed to a 360 controller, and being a fairly competitive person, that takes a lot of the fun out of it for me, especially online.

Np. I can see your reasoning, and each controller has it's pro's and con's for a FPS. To each his own I guess lol.

No probs man, and don't get me wrong, KZ2 looks awesome and is one of the main reasons I'm considering not getting another Xbox even though that's what I've always used since it came out. Killzone 2 looks amazing, and like it easily PWNS Halo (IMO), but I personally suck with the DS3 and absolutely require shooting with the triggers on a 360 controller. That's my only problem, is using the DS3 for shooters actually HURTS my hands after a while , and the way the 360 controller is set up makes the RB a poor option for a fire button. I think PS3 is the better console, with better exclusives (with KZ2 being the main reason I lean that way), but I simply SUCK at FPS with Playstation controllers, and I think anyone would have a hard time getting into a game that they only get dominated in (which would be me trying to use a DS3). Nothing against the game it's self. To me, it's a system seller for sure.

If you want a great FPS game, try to get your hands on a Bad Company 2 Beta Code for the PS3. That game is by far the best FPS I have played. You should also look into MAG, Resistance 2, and Uncharted 2 (TPS, but still really fun).

For me, yes. I've given it a very honest try via both my friend's PS3s and forcing myself to play old FPS on a Ps2 I borrowed from my sister, and I just can't do anything but fail with PS analog sticks, whereas (not to sound arrogant) I'm generally a beast in any FPS with the 360 controller. I'm not saying it's inferior in general, but I personally just cannot get used to it, and it just feels too small. IMO, PS3 hardware+360 controller = perfection

Killzone 2 has this option too. Just set the controls to standard 2 or 4 and you're set. Resistance 2 controls can be changed too.
