Controller Support - XBOX 360 (or any other Controller) - HOW TO / FAQ

As no one wants to play CoD Multiplayer with a controller this guide here is solely for the singleplayer part, but if you like to get whacked by keyboard and mouse combo players, feel free to use it in MP as well :)

Download / Installation

You can download Xpadder at http://xpadder.com/
First time I used this tool it was still freeware, this has changed some time ago, now you have to buy it for 9,99$, but as it is such a good software and it works with every game ever made, the 10 bucks are really good investet.

There are still (legal!) downloads of some FREE older versions in the internet you just have to look for them like on pcgames.de, it has the same functionality as the version you can buy (or at least almost, I see no difference). Nevertheless I would suggest to support the developer from Xpadder, (donated money myself, absolutely the right thing to do, for useing such a helpful software) and buy/donate at his site.

After downloading, just extract the files into a folder and run the exe, the software runs directly from the folder, no installation needed.

Configuration

Before configuring your controls you have to connect your controller and create a new "Controller Layout" (you have to do this only once). But before doing so, first download a picture of your controller (google search a picture and take one with a top view, where you can see each or at least most buttons) and hold it ready. Having an actual picture of your controller makes the further configuration process much easier and more logical.

Click left on the little controller icon and select "New..."



Add the picture of your controller in the "Controller Settings" submenu in the "Image" section via the "Open" Button or paste it directly from your clipboard.



After that go into the subsection "Sticks" and "DPad" and check every box, then press the appropriate stick / button into the displayed direction.





This will create a little square (or crosshair/circle) wich functions as a marker and flashes when you press the corresponding button on your controller. Drag and drop each marker over the associated trigger/stick/button on the controller picture that you have created before.

Do the same thing for the subsections "Buttons" and "Triggers"

It should look like this when you are finished.

Keybindings

You can bind each button with the desired command like A Button = Leer for Jump etc. RT = Mouse one for Shoot, by clicking on the marker then select your keybinding from the keyboardlayout that pops up. You can even bind combos, or multiple keys to one button if you like, but let get to that later.

For your convenience I have added the vanilla controls layout of COD MW2:



Personally I prefer to hold down the button for aiming down the sights, so feel free to change that in the COD config ingame.

To bind the mouse movement to the stick you have to click on that little wrench symbol and select "Mouse - normal" or inverted if that is your playstyle.





To swap between primary and secondary weapon we have to bind the "1" key and the "2" key onto the same button (to have similar controls to the XBOX version) this is achieved in the advanced section in the "Button Assignment Menu" put first the "1 key" then a cycle stop and then the "2 key" like shown in the pic.



The next doublebinding is the crouch/prone button you can put that also onto the right stick (if you are BF player) or COD like onto the "B" button of the controller. If you tap the b button you will crouch, if you hold down the key your player will prone. Again go into the advanced section of the assignment menu but this time put in the following:

"Hold Zone" -> "C" -> "Release Zone + 0.10 s" -> "Hold Zone +0.10s" -> "CTRL" -> "Release Zone +0.10 s"




After binding every Key it should look like this. Feel free to change the config to your wishes.

If you want to save some time and try you can try out my controller configuration, just save your profile as it is, open the saved .txt file and copy and paste my config that I have posted below. You can change that config easily after that.

Setting has been changed
Are experiencing ~

[OptimusPrime]

you most certainly will :) as said, it will not help you in multiplayer. but what seems to be the problem? it won't get better than the controls on console. or aren't you satisfied with the turning speed of your character? you can change that under mouse settings (horizontal / vertical Emulation Speed)

[小触苦逼宅中腐]

I tried it on
The result is not optimistic
Will die very miserably. T-T

Well, the spelling is bad enough to know that this wasn't sponsored

[OptimusPrime]

to be clear, I wrote this guide not especially for the multiplayer part, it is stupid to play this with emulated controller competatively, but as I have a big screen tv and for relaxation it is completely fine

[Epicly Nath]
