I have the old c.o.d modern warfare and I was wondering if it possible to play with the controller? Mine just won't work with it for some reason. Thanks.

Theres a program called Switchblade. Looks like the website is down. I think that might do it for you (can't remember if cod is supported). But I think meticadpa's simile sums it up perfectly. You wouldnt want to do it. I'm pretty sure itd be a lot harder than using a controller with a console.

I'm just not good with the keyboard and mouse yet, so I like to use the controller whenever possible.

You can also try a program call "Xpadder", where you can assign your keyboard and mouse keys to the attached game-pad for each game. Go to their website at www.xpadder.com/ for more information. its not a free program but you can download the trial version and see if it works for you, then you can buy it if you want. Its a good program to have; I use it for certain games..
Hope this helps....

FPS are made for mouse, enough said.

Practice, then. No one became good with a keyboard and mouse by using a controller.

you will get your arse handed to you you know, no matter how good you are with a controller, you won't match up to someone that is slightly good with a keyboard and mouse because of the superior control they have
I don't think there is control support either. I've not noticed an option for it anywhere, or ever played with anyone that is using one

Yeah... when I first started out PC gaming all those years ago (okay, about a year and 8 months) I used a controller because I was inexperienced with a mouse and keyboard too, and I got my ass handed to me.
When I started using a mouse and keyboard, I noticed how badass I was.

The problem with a controller is, that you simply can't turn as fast, or make accurate shots, mainly because of how sensitive a mouse is compared to the controller

Well I think I have hit a nerve with all the true pc gamers that have replied. I guess that is the age-old war that has been waging since the pc game was conceptualized. To use a controller or board and mouse? It seems you guys lean heavily towards the board-mouse, but is that because you can't use controllers or is it that the board-mouse really is better for gaming? It's like the war against AMD and Intel, I swear by AMD, most of you it seems swear by the i-5 and i-7. I think in the end it comes down to personal preference and how you play games. Someone said the sensitivity in a controller is not the same as a mouse, however there is a option in most fps games to increase the sensitivity to make it turn much faster then needed. For me I am a controller guy and love the feel of the analog sticks and rumble of feedback. I can't get that on a board-mouse.

No it isn't preference, it is fact.
It isn't like AMD or Intel, both of those will game perfectly fine and will carry out any task you ask of them (obviously depending on the chip you get). Sure, a 980x will beat any athlon x2, but it will play games just as well as a thuban core AMD CPU will or a 955 or 965, you don't put yourself at a disadvantage in any situation other than benching if you choose AMD over intel or the other way round
I am not just a PC gamer. I used to be completely console orientated, I have a wii and and 360 as well as several older consoles. I know a wii isn't the same because it isn't a pad, it is a flail your arms around, but I have played any genre of game you like on my xbox: fps, racing, rpg, strategy, music, quiz etc etc. Ofcourse fps is the most intensive, and when you are on a console, everyone has a control, and you also have auto aim (you aim down sites, it snaps onto them. Doesn't stay there, but initially snaps on), so it is more balanced.
You take that to a PC though, it isn't the sensativity in the sense that you move the mouse a little bit, it goes half way across the screen, it is sensativity in that it is much easier to do the smaller, more precise movements. you can also always turn much faster with a mouse than you can do with a controller, so you can swing round to react to a shooting enemy faster than you would if you had a controller. Every single reaction is faster and more accurate with a mouse and keyboard than with a controller.
All the time everyone has a controller, it is balanced, as soon as you use a control in an environment where there are people with keyboards and mouse, you are putting yourself at a severe disadvantage, and that is a fact.
Why do you think at all LAN tournaments, every PC gamer uses a keyboard and mouse, and a grand total of 0 of them use a controller?

It's not a matter of preference...
A mouse is much, much more accurate than a joystick, no argument. I believe it's 200 DPI and something like 16 directions a joystick can move in, but a 1800 DPI mouse (around the average) can move in up to 64, allowing for much, much more precise/detailed movements.
