If seems as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, does not offer any gamepad support, so the only way is using some key to gamepad mapper, like xpadder...This is not good guys! It's 2011, the user should be choosing how to play the game, not the developer... :)

I actually prefer this game with mouse alot easier to aim, but it sucks that we don't exactly have a option.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I just want the option for me to choose what suits me better, not all of us have a keyboard / mouse hooked up all the time...
ReplyDeleteBad developer guys..
ReplyDeletethis is pretty ridiculous
ReplyDeleteI cant get the xbox360 controller to run the game, have been using with xpadder 5.7 for every other cod game and everything else but not happening. I have read that others have been using the logitech dual action with xpadder and it works. Problem is, others are saying that they are getting the 360 controller to work with xpadder, which is the program to use. In other words, does it actually work with the logitech pad and xpadder,someone who actually uses this setup with MODERN WARFARE 3 specifically please let me know. I dont want to waste money on a gamepad that I can only see myself using for this dumb game that I refuse to play with a mouse and keyboard. help!
ReplyDeleteAny game would work using a program like xpadder, as all it does is map you pad movements to emulate keyboard and mouse movements, that is not real game pad support. and I don't like to use that kind of stuff, other that for some click adventures where there is basically no choice. But it is not a really good solution for action games, as it mostly looses some of the analog stuff, like you cannot walk slowly. So I stay away from any game that don't support game pads fully.
ReplyDeletenot true... game does not work with xpadder and 360 controller on Modern Warfare 3... doesnt map the controller at all... I know how to use the program and have been doing so for other games, which work fine. But I havnt been able to get it to recognize for this game. Has anyone gotten this to work for any gamepad with any mapping program in Modern Warfare 3, exclusively, not with any other game, just Modern Warfare 3? Pleae tell steps if you have done so successfully yourself. If you havnt please dont post your personal theory, people are looking for a working fix, and the information out there on this subject is going in circles because people are guessing by saying "it should work with" instead of actually trying all options and finding out what "it does work with..." Ive tried with what I got, but it hasnt worked. Im hoping someone has gotten it to work, possibly with the Logitech Dual Action Gamepad from what Ive read, but Im still waiting for responses to posts, to see if anyone has actually tried it, or they are guessing. Thank you, sorry for the rant, I just want to play this game the way it should be played... Controller!
ReplyDeleteI uninstalled it after I found out that it did not work with my gamepad, and sold it to a friend. I'll check with him if it is possible to get it working with xpadder. I think we should all shout big at the developers that we want GAMEPAD support in our games... if they can do a xbox360 and PS3 version with PAD support, why the #$%!@#! not PC ?
ReplyDeleteHOW TO GET XBOX AND A FEW OTHER CONTROLLERS TO FINALLY WORK!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHXXP joystixpro.com/get-joystix/
Scroll down and you will see Modern Warfare 3 cover and below it is a download link button, you will have to create a username and password to download it. Its free though, they offer premium memberships that include a bunch of services but this method allows you to download the "game stix" or controller map for Modern Warfare 3, and 5 other titles, but you can only use one title at a time and you have to download and install each time you play a differnt one of the free games. You dont have to do this if you get a premium subscription, but the only reason I wouldnt get one is because I have xpadder and it works for every single other game that Ive ever played on PC except MW3. Im so happy that these guys got controllers to work, I may support them anyway! Get some people, its working 100 percent for me. So let me know how it works out for ya, and go get your game back homes :)
See what happens when you actually start doing research and not hypothesize about how to do a workaround... wasted so much damnn time thanks to jamokes who said "this should work". If your not going to post facts from experience or hard data on something such as a problem like this, that almost noone on all of the forums ive searched on and there were a lot lol had a clue to get this game to work with a controller. Real problems dont get solved by guessing. At least not mine. Rant over, playing MW3 with controller now.
Thanks you, but i get icon map in game atm?
ReplyDeleteclarify , im not talking about an icon map im talking about a controller port map to use a controller in the pc version of modern warfare 3. If not familiar a controller and pc games are usually, but getting better daily, not gamepad controller friendly. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 for PC has been unable to play the game with a controller, with joystix pro your all good... free too...
ReplyDeleteI was able to get it to work...
ReplyDeleteI used logitech gaming software, I imported the profile I found on this forum
http://forums.logitech.com/t5/PC-Gaming/dual-action-gamepad-AND-call-of-duty-4/m-p/356163#M1646
and then I customized that profile to start the game (it gives you the option when you import it)

ReplyDeletehey friends check this please
i am the YOUNOW from VENEZUELA
I followed the advice above to use Joystixpro and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion. Makes the game much more enjoyable to play. I would highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible to set up the controller to work with Modern Warfare 3. First, update your profiler to the most current version. Then you can assign all of the buttons to whatever function you choose. I chose the left stick to replace the up, down, left, and right functions of the W, S, A,and D functions, respectively. Then you have to assign the right stick to function as the mouse. This was my biggest problem, but once I updated my profiler to the newest version it had options to change the right stick to act as the mouse movement. The mouse is still superior for accuracy, but the controller makes up for it in agility of movement.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to customize the settings for the sensitivity, which help with aiming, but it really is no match for the mouse when it comes to shooting. That said, the controller allows you to move through the game environment much smoother than with the keyboard. There is nothing like trying to act quickly to avoid getting killed and then you have to look down at the keyboard to see where the key is that you need...ugh! So frustrating! Anyway, the controller makes it much more enjoyable. Every now and then, I have to use the mouse to make a few shots, but most I can handle with the controller, but there is definitely a learning curve with it.
ReplyDeleteThe trick to getting the profiler to work with COD: MW3, is to assign the right exe file to the profiler. Do not select Steam.exe. That will not work. You have to select the call of duty exe that is in one of the steam folders. There are three of them: single player, multiplayer, and special ops. I picked the single player exe and it seems to work with all three components. Happy gaming!
ReplyDeleteiw5sp.exe is the file. It is found in this location:
ReplyDeleteC:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\call of duty modern warfare 3
Where C is the drive where your files are located.
Any solution for twin usb converter? im using that and it works but when the game say "Press E button" it doesnt even work,anyone have that issue?.
ReplyDeleteno its true joy to key and zpadder DONT WORK WITH mw3. try it ull see. xpadder and jtk work with the other cod games, skyrim etc but not with mw3.. why? who knows maybe they blocked it out or something
ReplyDeleteLogitech's software works fine with mw3. The only thing i havent solved yet is the shift key for running. It doesnt work on the stick!
ReplyDeleteModern Warfare 3 works fine with Logitech Gaming Software. To assign shift you have to create a command and manually press the shift key instead of using "Assign to SHIFT"
ReplyDeletepoop
ReplyDeletei think i will buy the game

usable.

Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteGo to the file where you downloaded the game. Right click the game and select properties. When you are in properties, go to the Security tab and then select "give this device total control" to your PC profile/Admin profile and click the box. That should allow you to work your joypad/xpadder!
Cheers...
