Amen to that.   Grey arrows left/right for heading, mouse for 
torso/reticle.  In Earthsiege, my FSPro seemed to handle the torso 
twisting/targetting better...with MW2, though, I virtually have to fight 
the joystick for fine control, not good.  I was surprised how great the 
mouse actually was for torso-twisting!  

By the way, *great* game, Activision.  Great job!  Thanks!

Off to play...:)
