Does anyone know of a way to configure an analogue control pad for MOH?
Does this game support a control pad? I'm having a bit of difficulty
getting the analogue stick to correspond with the mouse in order to
"look". If anyone has managed to get a control pad to work with this,
I'd appreciate some help. Thanks.

P.s I realise this is heresy, but I really prefer a control pad. Shoot
me.

You know what- it doesn't matter, figured it out. I won't even bother
saying how because it appears 99.99% of pc gamers are allergic to
control pads.

We're not allergic to them, we just recognize the superiority of the
KB/mouse. You don't see Fatal1ty using a gamepad, for a good reason.

For some games (but not FPS games) the gamepad rocks. And a gamepad is
moderately workable for an FPS with aim-assist when I'm in the mood to just
sit back on the couch for some Halo 2 or PDZ or whatever, on a game
BALANCED for the gamepad in mind.

BTW, making a post like this you might as well paint "n00b" on your
forehead. No offense.

Except for the "noob" bit, great reply.

There will always be some people who will claim that gamepads are better
than mouse & kbd. Anyone who "knows" knows this to be, well, simply
impossible. If they are somehow incapacitated then maybe yes, but for
anyone with all their hands, fingers, eyes and brain fully functioning
it is a physical impossibility to out perform mouse & kbd with a hand
held gamepad. It really is that simple.

Mind you, I suspect that someone like Fatal1ty would kick my ass with a
dustbin lid and a 14k modem :)
