Controller Support
I have been trying to use my xbox 360 controller but it does not register on this game. Is there any controller support for this game and if so how do I use it

There's no native controller support. You would get wrecked if you tried it anyway.

The controller has worked well in all my other games and I found out the B button works on this game.

Bind it to move forward and you will be pretty uch as effective as with full controller support.

I am sorry, but why would you even try to use an controller in this game? I feel the facepalm empoticon is the only way to respond this question. RO2 is not designed for an controller and it would be now fun because you loose many posibilities and you would suck against every other player using mouse and keyboard.

You can use a program called X-Padder which is a program that helps map keyboard/mouse controlls to a controller.

You can find a download here : http://www.xpadder.com/

I personally used xpadder with Red Orchestra just for kicks. It's a little frustrating setting up the controlls, but after about 30 minutes of fiddling you can get a pretty comfortable setup to play the game.

Also a disclaimer: do not expect to do well in the game with a controller! You are competing against M&K users, so you will not be able to perform nearly as well. That being said I personally enjoyed Red Orchestra with a controller from my couch. I was terrible, but it was a fun and immersive way to enjoy the game for a few rounds, and I would recommend it if you don't mind dying more than usual!

Almost all the game forums on Steam have a controller support thread with a bunch of wannabe know it alls, trying to tell you how to play, and all saying the same thing and not answering the main question. Yes, the keyboard and mouse can be more precise (mostly in FPS games) but that does not mean you will get totally annihilated using a controller. I use nothing but a controller (Pc connected to 50inHDTV) playing COD, Titanfall, BF4 and I do quite well. Every game should come with controller support by now. Its 2014 already..But if the game doesnt have native support, you can use Xpadder or Pinnacle Game Profler. Thats what i use because there are premade game profiles you can install very easily through the proigram.

I'd still say k+m for competative shooters, it just makes the most sense.. Sure I could understand why you might wanna use a pad in a single player or a co-op FPS, but competative shooters k+m would be better

Also I don't think COD and Titanfall would fall into the same category as this game.. This game focuses on realism and requires precise aiming, where as COD tends to sort of pop in/lock in when you aim down the sights, and seeing as Titanfall is made by people who also made a COD game, I'm guessing that uses the same sort of aiming

Different strokes for different folks I guess, but I think COD or titanfall would be more suited cus they're already on consoles as well, so they would already be built with game pad in mind.. Where as, as far as I know, RO2 is PC only game and so the controls are focused on mouse aiming, like I said before about precision aiming

All the games you mentioned are console ports, ie: designed for use with a controller, this game is not.

Yeah. Since this is a PC exclusive, it was able to take advantage of having more buttons for different functions. I had made an Xpadder profile quite a while back, and it just doesn't work well without combining a lot of functions, making it clunkier to use, and leaving a couple things out.

I forgot to mention, but if you hook up a controller for the tanks in Red Orchestra (after configuring an appropriate profile for the controls), it's well, well worth it! The infantry bit was alright with a controller, but the tanks are friggin' awesome with it.

I didnt know this was a Pc exclusive. That does make sense that it only uses a KnM.
