Anybody experience Xbox 360 Controller for Windows on CoD4? How can do button mapping? Can not see it in game menu. My computer see the controller but the game isn't.

Why on earth would you want to do that? I would understand if it was one of those Mario clones you're playing but for FPS mouse and a keyboard are a must, otherwise you're in a huge disadvantage over other PC players.

My left hands sux at finding the key for W+Shift to run away from Geranade on crouch and died thousand times on multi players this weekend. I think I should try gaming board. Which one do you recommend? I'm looking at G15 for now. Thanks.

Keyboards BLOW **** once you try the Nostromo. Best thing I ever bought for PC gaming.

I'm sure you can custom configure your keyboard for COD4. How about 2+W for running or TAB + W?

You still use the mouse with that one, right? If so, I might give it a try although I've never been a fan for custom controllers.

Thanks. I'll get that today.

I thought about that and tried but didn't work. Thanks anyway.

Can I use Call of Duty 2 profile for 4? Which profile are you using? I can't find it for CoD4 at Belkin. I did install their software but there is no built-in profile with it. Thanks.

Yeah, left hand for the Nostromo and the right hand controls the mouse. You have to map the keys. The thing fits like a glove and just dominates in FPS.

That said, if you're used to a keyboard you may still like that more. It's just like using 2 mice, but one is like your keyboard.

There may not be one for that game yet. Might want to check out CoD4 gaming forums, you wouldn't be the only one with it.

I use mine for any PC game I play as you just map the keyboard keys to that. So, figure out what button on your keyboard does what in the game and map it to the key you like on the Nostromo.

I don't use any of the built in profiles for any of the games I play so I can't tell you if it would be worth waiting for or not.

Yeah, I couldn't get into that one. I need something with a grip on it. The Nostromo fits right to your hand and feels natural. With that I would be hovering over it worrying about setting my hand down and pressing extra keys. I just can't play games that way.

ben62670

My hand is way to big for the nostromo. I got lucky, and picked up the "Wolf King" for $5 new at my suppliers place.

I didn't think I would like it either, but I tried it, and it works great. The thing is heavy, and stable. It is also thin with a palm rest built in. The only thing that I did not like is the space button is so close the other buttons. I have checked out both, and for me this is definitely the way to fly.

MKZ

Yes, it is a little smaller on my hands like Ben said but I feel natural and works perfectly fine. My thumb is more useful other than sitting on space bar and I'm good to go now. Thank you Demiurge and everybody.

Demiurge

I don't have small hands at all. I'm a 6' 6" 270 pound man. Wonder if there are different models. That sucks.

MKZ

i'm less 6" 100lb than you but I think I have the monkey hands. It said it has adjustable wrist-pad but I couldn't figure it out how. I saw the slot between the base pad to move, its too tight to move backward and don't wanna break it.

OKay I am going to give another mini review on this. This is more geared to the xbox live version.

1) The Challenges are just fun to do. I think the head shot shallenges are a little over the top, but obviously these will be done last. It's almost like more "acheivements" within the game. And it literally makes you want to play one more round.

The hardest weapon I have encountered is the G-3 assault weapon. For some reason the single shot on this weapon makes it a little harder.

At first I thought the Sniper rifle to be useless, but it is now a favorite weapon of mine. Only really good on two maps though.

2) The Perks were an EXCELLENT idea. Not sure if they did this on COD 3 or not. (Can someone confirm this? Billz?) What makes it fun is that one perk for one weapon may not work for another. You want to use "Slight of Hand" with the LMG's. But it is useless on say the SMG's.

3) One negative is I see a huge host advantage in some games. Or there is the staple standby trick being used. I have not figured it out yet though. Lets just say I average 12 to 20 kills a round, and 12 to twenty deaths a round. But sometimes when I search for a map and join a room, I will get roasted. I played a round today that had me dumbfounded. 3 kills (two by grenades) and 20 deaths. I was point blank shooting people only for them to turn around and kill me. I am level 38, these were level mid-20's players.

Overall that is the only flaw I can complain about. Live is a great environment for this game. And it just gets better and better every time I play it.

yeah, sometimes i'll have an entire game where i riddle the opponent with bullets to center mass and headshots and they end up killing me with a pistol. something is up there. not sure what.

Well, ordered it from Amazon on Thurday, was on the door steps this morning (free super saver shipping btw), currently installing it.

So who's on XFire? My tag is r32gtr92.

BaggedLancer

I can't stop playing this damn game. It's way too much. I'm level 26 now and changing weapons as I finish the challenges for each weapon(not the headshot). When I get the P90 and Barett I will do all the headshot challenges.

avelanchefan

**** wait until you hit prestige man. Then you have a real dilemma on your hands.....if you want to know what prestige mode is let me know and I will spill the beans.

I already know. Start all over again with a silly rank next to your name....gets all your stats reset, etc.

No thanks, I'll keep it at 55 since once I hit 55 it will probably hit the shelf as "completed" games.

avelanchefan

I personally loved starting over, because I actually did things a lot differently, and noticed a huge increase in my skill. Most notably I use stopping power a lot more than I do martyrdom.

BaggedLancer

Martyrdom is dumb. Stopper power, deep penetration etc is where it's at. If you pile those on basically any weapon 2 hits kills.

I love after I die when I see that +5 on the screen. I know it's a cheap kill, but I like it.
I sure wish Gears had all this ranking and weapon stuff. It's the only thing better than Gears IMO.

Martyrdom, It's a Love hate relationship.

Love to use it, hate to die by it. What can you do lol I'm currently ranked 54 and 900 exp away from 55.
