However, in MW2, >keyboard = yuck. You might try it with your mouse. Actually, the keyboard isn't that bad. I'm having some joystick problems, so I've had to cope when I actually wanted to play (as opposed to dicking with my system to get things working). I did play the original with keyboard only, and it sorta comes back, except I have to integrate a lot more commands. The keyboard has the advantage of not recentering the torso when you let up on the control. If I can't fix my 'stick problems in a couple of days, I'll probably post a please help...
