This sounds crazy to most pc gamers but, i am old, so keyboards are foreign to me. i'm staring at the keyboard right now trying to poke out this post. i played consoles my entire childhood and throughout my adult life aswell. I know us controller users are slow and clumsy. But its more comfortable for us, which make the game more enjoyable.
Also some of us use ear pieces i know most PC gamers dont, but i like to have the voices in my ear and the action on my speakers. that helps compartmentalize the orders and the action. that makes it easier, imo, to follow orders.
im new to this game so if theres a mod out there for this stuff i would love to hear about it. or maybe we can get enough support on this thread to get a change made!
Thanks for a great game!

A typical PC setup will mute the speakers if headphones are plugged in. That is part of how the hardware works, so I don't think the game can do anything about it.
Mainly i'd like to use my controller, my hands hurt after about an hour of PC gaming. probably has a lot to do with my setup but still id be a lot more comfortable with a controller.
On playstation, xbox etc. a controller is fine for fps games, but not for pc, especially online.
Controller FPS gaming is only possible in games that are suited for it, slow paced, slow moving targets, one shot or close to one shot kills and of course aim assist added to the game. Let's rephrase that, it is possible but highly unlikely an enjoyable experience in a game like this for the reasons mentioned above and before my post... Way back I used to use a program called Joy2Key, to add mouse movement from the POV hat on my joystick in Forgotten Hope aircraft,to be able to look around. Maybe that is an option for this? I'd still advice against it though, Keyboard+Mouse simply are better...
Not sure if the earpiece independent voice chat is possible on platforms besides Vista or Win7 (individual channels)
Bind your mouse movements and/or keyboard controls to the Gamepad.
Maybe he doesn't care if he's putting himself at a disadvantage.
A million times this!
I like it because it lets you tweak mouse sensitivity for the axises (?) which can help minimize the effects of less control than a mouse
Hope it helps!
That also means that every time you talk no one can hear you because you mic is picking up guns shooting, skulks chomping, and mini guns blazing, etc, etc, etc.
Great USB headphones... I have the sonar 5.1 which I love and my friend has the champion set. I like them because they have multiple speakers in each ear unlike a lot of headsets out there that only have one speaker in each ear with a fake surround system.
No need to compartmentalize your sounds with these puppies. My friend was like you before with his sound but since he bought the headset I recommended he has not turned back.

BTW, if you grew up on consoles, what are you speaking of Atari 2600 old or prior?
The audio settings sounds cool. If you play with a group using a thirdparty VoIP app, you could probably get a similar experience.
That's actually kinda cool.
Thanks! im trying to getout of this cheap. i'm lucky, my roomate is a super pc gamer freak and he built this awesome computer pretty much for me to play with, he has his own also very sick pc.
Yeah my first console experience was a gamepad that consisted of a dial and a button! of course that was my rich friends Atari. i got my first NES around age 9 or 10. My uncle sold me his. i worked my butt of doing chores for that. hours and hours spent with a 4-way d-pad and two face buttons. been a console gamer ever since. didnt have much groing up so i would always go to my friends houses and play Sega or SNES. Now im grown and i love gaming still. im amazed when i think back to playing Tanks or joust, I did play a little Ultima on my grandparents Apple computer. typeing in commands... memories
i keep my speakers low and listen to music in the backround. i've never had any complaints.
I was going to say:
... but SeeVee beat me to it.
p.s. I am old.
