Map keys for XBox 360 controller

[October]

Hi, erm, I suck at playing games with my mouse/keyboard and would like to use my XBOX 360 controller, but I've no idea how to map it, so help? Please? Screenshots or whatever would be helpful.

It's actually pretty easy. Just go into options - controls, then for each type (infanty, vehicle, turret, etc.) you have to map each control. To do that just click on each action and then on the Xbox Controller press the button you want it as. You can only have one action per button (i.e. you can't have Y be both enter vehicle and run) so you may have to use the keyboard for a few lesser used controlls. Hope this helps!

Yeah, I noticed that, I'm just hopeless at configuring them all. I'll try it again, though; thanks!

When you configure a new action it's helpful to press and hold ESCAPE. That'll get rid of any control currently in use and won't get the game confused as to what control you want.

i tried to map the controls with the 360 controller aswell and been runing into problems. Everytime i map the sticks i go into the game and the camera starts drifting randomly with no input from me other wise it controls great. I cant find any way to calibrate the controller.

I was looking to do the same for nostalgia, but it actually turned out being more fun with M/Kb

As 360 controllers (or indeed, any controller) get used, they can have times when, with certain games (either on 360, PC, or whatever system you're using), they will "drift" when in the neutral position. I had the same issue with both my left and right sticks in Battlefront 2, as my controller is from my 360 purchased in early 2009. Luckily, there is a fix. In the game's options, you can increase your deadzone, which can limit or outright negate the "drifting", making it so you will have your character and camera move only when you are actively pushing the sticks in a direction.

If you still have problems with deadzone at max, well... might be time to invest in a new controller.

Can anyone link somewhere which shows all the Xbox controller buttons so its easier to bind the keys. All I'll have to do is look at what each one is then bind it on the game. Then it'll be like normal. Thank you to whoever can do this. :p

Its brand new though lol
Will look for the deadzone in the settings thanks
Well it didnt work it still drifts, it slowly moves the character and sometimes changes directions. Tried to drop the mouse down all the way to see if that was effecting it but that didnt work.
edit- i put it to zero so i tried 10 and that worked, i went the wrong way. LOL Thanks!

Hi!

I would like to know: Afterwards when u have configured controller buttons, How do u take back the screenshot button for keyboard (F12)?
When I set all buttons I deleted all the regular mouse/keyboard buttons, but there were not any Screenhot setting there from beginning anyway.

Anyone who knows what I can do?

Thankful for help!
