I just downloaded the game and i’m trying to use my 360 controller to play but i cant bind any keys or anything at all with the controller. I checked my drivers and they are up to date. Can anyone walk me through what to do or point me to a tutorial? I upgraded to windows 10 too if that helps at all. ---

It should be just plug n’ play. ---

Yep plug and play, enable Xbox controller in settings, however it really sucks as much as I wanted to enjoy it ---

It should just be plug n play, but really I’d recommend just getting used to KB/M. The accuracy others will have over you will be infuriating. ---

If you’re in Win10 make sure any other controllers are unplugged. Mine won’t work at all of my HOTAS is also plugged in. But without that, I’m in helicopter heaven. ---

I bought a xbox 1 controller and it works now. I wonder why controllers don’t get aim assist though. ---

PC gets no aim assist because everyone’s already playing with a mouse. Personally I wouldn’t bother trying to shoot head to head against kbm players with a controller, mouse is just so much more accurate in the right hands. imho. ---

Good to see you’ve switched over to the PC Master Race. As for your controller, look in your settings, and I’m pretty sure there’s a slider between keyboard + mouse, and controller (maybe called joystick?)… Just look around a little bit I suppose. Try it out, and if you find that other players are kicking your ass too much I recommend you try out keyboard and mouse. It’s so beautiful…dat accuracy. ---

I ended up buying a xbox 1 controller and it fixed the problem. As far as going with the keyboard and mouse I don’t think I can. My hand don’t have much dexterity from welding for many years. I can barely play lol accurately. I mostly use shotguns anyways. ---

Oh I see. What’s your Battlelog? I’ll friend you and we can play together sometime if you want. ---

Stick with keyboard and mouse. Trust me I did when I was at your crossroad. You know that right joystick on the controller that controls looking? Well imagine buttons on it, and now you have a mouse. As for the keyboard, let’s not waste fingers. ---

Battlefield is one of the best fps games for using controller on PC I’ve found, because of all the options given for sensitivity. It takes a lot to get used to but no matter how much I play with keyboard and mouse I much prefer the feel of the controller with the settings I have. It’s all about preference, how much you practice and whether or not you wanna be high on the leaderboards. If you prefer controller and just want to have fun in regular games, it is beyond viable.
