Hi,

Yes, i am new to games and want to get a decent accessory to play them. I am guessing I need to buy a joystick for 2142. What are people using? What is good on newegg?

Thx in advance,

The average gamer is using just the mouse and keyboard. Some use a mouse and keyboard and switch to a joystick for flying. I'd recommend just sticking with the mouse and keyboard in the beginning to simplify things.

For playing other games like adventure, racing etc. I recommend the Logitech Rumblepad 2 http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=9069 It works very well with many games and is very programmable.

Blue is right,.. you can easely fly the planes in BF2142 using the keyboard.
im using a Saitek X-45 atm, and cant complain about it so far tough (but its quite expensive for a joystick imo ( but i've worn out 3 joysticks before that,.. so i gues its ok)

altough.. i think buying it for only BF2142 would be heavilly overkill

why it would be heavilly over kill? can you please tell me if there's advantage to use the joystick with BF2142?

why i want to buy because there are some people who using the joystick they are more powerful by flying than who use mouse and keyboard
