Actually, our user base was so divided on the joystick control issue
that it didn't make sense for us to change that, despite the verbosity
of those that didn't like it.
O.K. Speak up ye who like the current implementation of joystick/turret control! I haven't heard *one* person say they like it. The most positive thing that I have heard is that people don't mind, 'cause the mouse control is so much better. The fact is, that the mouse works O.K. but the Joystick could be much better.
Furthermore, you "Tim Morten" seemed to indicate that this problem would be fixed in a patch to MW2. Now more than a year, a patch and two releases later, the joystick behaves the same way.
