Nope. Y would you even think about using a controller on the PC version? you can get so much nastier with just a little practice with a mouse and keyboard. Give it a shot. Trust me it's worth it

Pc Version of Games normally have Smaller hit boxes and thus making it really hard to kill sum1 using a controller. Stick with kb/m :)

But you would eventually get good with keyboard and mouse over time, and you would appreciate it =).

not to me. feels like there are way to many buttons on the keyboard. plus a mouse it just feels to weird to me rather than a good ol' analog sticks.

I tried on quake live. i dont know how to get the controller on there. there is no controller option


Posted By: puertoRICAN
Date Posted: 07 Sep 2009 at 11:42pm
there is no controller option....
once the controller is set up right with your PC, go to quake live
and your cntroller will work. just make sure your PC recognizes the controller. all the info
is in that above youtube link.^^^^^
i just got done playin ql, prolly play alot more now that i dot use kbm.

what program R u useing???
i use xpadder..b4 u can use the controller you need2 open "ps3sixaxis_en"
once you do that a black screen will flash and that means it worked.
go to quake and it should work. you need to open "ps3sixaxis_en" everytime u want to use
the controller after u disconnect.

also, u need to set what actions to go along with on your controller.....
ex. for ql, you use "w,a,s,d" as your front, back, right, left....
so u config your d-pad to follow those actions. same go's for the other buttons.
config the "X" button for spacebar for the "jump action" ..."R1" as "right click" for fireing your weapon. so on and so on.. once u get it, set up is EZ

Moving combos are so ridiculously easy on PC version that I wonder why you'd want to use a ps3 controller.

Well it depends on what kind of moving combo a bit too, if you mean the kind where you shoot the core, go through a teleporter and finish it then yeah that's still awesome if you manage to land it

i used a program called motionjoy from motionjoy.com. I a**igned the buttons on the ps3 controller to the keyboard letters for ut. For example, move forward on the keyboard is set to W for ut pc so, I set the R3 up to W and it responded. I did this for all the ps3 buttons but still it didnt move correctly but I think this is the way you have to do it. everything else worked like fire and alt fire. Hopefully I can configure it to work correctly ill post back if successful.

why would you set "W" to "R3"???  W should be on the left joystick pointing up.
and "S" (move back) should be on the left joystick pointing down, and so on.
the right joystick should be the camra movement right???
so you should set right joystick to the corresponding mouse movements. Ex. move mouse right = move joystick right.  idk, maybe i understood you wrong.

you can but u won't make a single kill by using ur ps3 controller........

UT3 on PC is alot harder to kill sum1 compared to PS3 and you using controller against every1 else using a KB/M you'll get owned easy

UT3 PC the Hitboxes are much smaller then the PS3 version

The flak cannon isn't overpowerd so you can't shoot all the way down the necro Bridge to get a kill :L

Link Gun isn't as spammy :P

it takes 2 rockets to kill sum1 :O well thats not true inless u get them dead on but thts kinda hard with all the dodgeing that goes on PC lol

if you use a ps3 controller on pc ut3 you will stand no chance you will simply die and die!! someone one who plays with a mouse n keyboard will allways own someone who plays with a controller!! The accuracy you get from a good mouse and keyboard set-up is ten fold what you can ever get from a controller!!

And may I point out that using a controller for Quake would eliminate the possibility of strafe jumping (effectively, anyways). Exactly the problem I see for Q3A...

Heh, Yeah, I was thinking about that too for a while.  I don't think this game will be that good without strafe/bhopping, especially CTF.

They should implement wall-jumping in that too :) Or put some revolutionary-ass way to Strafe Jump.

why wouldn't you be able to strafe jump? couldn't you strafe in quake 4 for the 360? i know you could move a whole lot faster by jumping repeatedly but i didn't play quake 4. seems like it would be easy to strafe with a controller

Q4 had crouch sliding which made strafe jumping actually possible in q4. how ever QL/Q3 does not have that feature. strafe jumping is simple yet hard skill to master which requires fluid motion of the x axis motion. comparing strafejumping on the pc and 360/ps3 on quake, it may seem possible but not quite as good compared to q3 on pc and q4.

i see, but that must mean that we will be able to strafe when it comes to XBLA right? i still jump using the a button lol but i guess i am going to switch to a thumb stick to get used to it.

thumbstick will most likely be a unsuitable bind to set as jump. in order to properly SJ correctly, you have to hold forward and the direction in which you are strafing and at that same time, turning into the direction you are strafing in. if you actually seen SJ in action, visualizing that and applying it to a pad seems very very difficult.

Sometimes, I'll use the general strafe jumping technique to move a little faster on UT.
