gamepad competitive?

[[FuT] Sandpuppy]

I only play worms with a gamepad, especially since I am usually sitting on the couch with friends during worms-sessions. I hope the developers kept in mind the ppl playing this with a gamepad on PC, and did not give too much of an adavantage to keyboard-mouse players (especially the teleport gun worries me). any beta-testers with experiences on this topic?

I doubt it, it's PC exclusive, and the majority (Keyboard & Mouse) will rule, you'd have to assume I'm afraid.

I'm a keyboard-and-mouse man, so I don't have the gamepad experience to compare, but as far as the teleport gun goes, you need to aim it by pressing up and down, like any other gun, so I don't think either would have a significant competitive edge there.

--> there it's telling me: full gamepad support

I wouldn't have bought it otherwise ;)

thanks for the comments, in worms revolution gamepadsupport worked great, so if they just kept it up and the teleport gun does not ruin it, everything should be fine. previews said that the menus are more mouse-oriented now, maybe there could be an option/patch to keep the worms revolution layout for gamepad-players?

I used to play armageddon on the pc, with all the players standing up each turn or moving around with their chairs - worms revolution with an xbox gamepad is just the perfect way to play this game with friends. and even if I am home alome I would like to sit back on my couch and play clan games on my beamer too :)

Heeey, here's a suggestion, why don't you read the store page?

I mean, the answers are all there, yet people still ask stuff here.

I can only play Worms with a Gamepad, The fact you can't use the Mouse for aiming really frustrates me, I always end up trying to use it no matter what, then trying to use WASD (I know it can be rebound to this but there is no point) to move

In the end for me I just pick up a Pad, its much easier for me to by not getting as frustrated :P

Dude, you can remap the keyboard controls...

Up and down is just weird for aiming. It would be great if you could toggle click in the left thumstick to enter a natural directional aim mode for the thumbstick. Same for the mouse, you'd hold or toggle a key or mouse button to enter a sensible mouse aim mode.

What? I didn't even say that...

All I was saying is that if you look at the store page, you can easily look to the right and see whether Full Controller Support/Partial Controller Support is listed or not, and it is!

I am fully aware of the gamepad support, I was just asking wheter in competitive mode, keyboard and mouse might have a certain advantage :) I read in a preview that the menus are more suitable to mouse and keyboard controls now - smaller icons in longer rows etc. the screenshots look like you've got a lot of weapons to select from at once rather than several groups to skip through with your shoulder buttons. if i have to spend 4 seconds sliding through weapons each turn (for example) while mouse and keyboard players only take 2 seconds, that is quite a bit of a disadvantage

nope, no way that will ever happen
