How to use an Xbox controller
I bought the game long time ago and i could not use the controller. Someone said you have to go to Big Picture mode or something to use the controller. i cant remember exactly, but anyone knows how to set the controller or how to use it?

You could try the following:
hit the ~ key and type joystick 1. Then for weapon switch purposes type hud_fastswitch 2
The tilde key opens the game's developer console menu, but first, you have to enable it within the game's options.

Funny, I'm looking for a way to disable gamepad mode because it messes with how the weapon hot bar works. The gamepad mode is permanently set on even when no controller is plugged in.
You can enable keyboard-friendly UI mode by typing in: hud_fastswitch 0
If you prefer to switch directly between weapons, then use 1 instead of 0.
