Since I normally play FPS type games with a controller (Halo, COD, GOW, Boarderlands), it would be nice to see some functionality attributed to game controllers or even joysticks.

I used to play the old mechwarrior games with the joystick/controller and the chance to play a quality type mech-FPS like this would greatly appreciated.

A keyboard has never been my strong suit regardless of my background with RTSs and some CCS gaming.

Thanks again,

Pulp

Not sure if I'd play with a controller but bumping the thread for those who like to play that way.

If you are really hurting for controller support in the beta I would recommend looking at xpadder. You can set up everything there (I currently use it for playing GW2)

I second this notion. I use the ps3 controller for fps and I can seem to get the game to recongize the key bindings I'm trying to give it with the controller. Is this just because there is no support for controllers yet_

I have one question: Is this game about the pace of the CoD series, or is it about the pace you'd normally see with a mech shooter_

If CoD paced: You'll get constantly destroyed. Keyboard and Mouse will outpace your controller. (This coming from someone who likes controllers far better than KBaM for his FPS games, as well.)

If Typical pace: If it's slow enough where fast mouse movement doesn't matter, I think it should be added, as long as there's a way to fit all the controls on the controller.

EDIT: I have to say, I use xpadder. It is not a suitable replacement for actual support within the game for me.

In the alpha there was a config tweak to allow for xbox controllers to be used. I really preferred to play with a controller over mouse and keyboard, because the turning rate of the mechs is slower than that of your mouse movements anyways.

i too like fps games with a controller and if done right you could make alot of people happy and bring in more people to play.i want to set every button to what ever i want change the sensitivity so i can get it perfect .the problem with controll emulators is they never feel right it has to be built in the game for it to work.i really hope you take this in consideration cause most f2p fps games dont have any controller suport and those that do well the suport is broken and pretty much useless and evan tho i am willing to play this with m/k putting a good controller suport in would make me love your awsome game evan more thanx
