I liked using the joystick to aim during the first few training missions, but once I got to weapon usage... forget it. Ok, so thats out. I'll go with the trusty keyboard then, except that it dosn't track fast enough to do the gauntlet. Not even close. I think game was really designed with the mouse or a HMD for aiming. >I have to wonder if those people who made "specific requests" to >Tim and the programmers to use auto-centering on the joysticks are now >using the mouse to aim instead... :) You know? Well, that or a HMD. I would really want auto-centering on one of thoes. Too bad so many more people have joysticks...
