Blue Orb announced today that they would be offering support for Warhammer Online with their application that allows players to trade in their keyboard and mouse for an XBox 360 controller.
You can download it here. Cheers, |

Well, i'm not a fan of the Xbox, but the fact that they have one available is interesting enough. Call of Duty® 4
With the handful of games that they support now, it is good to see they expect WAR to do so well they made it a priority to have switchblade work with the game. I'll keep my eyes out and see how well this does. |

Like the previous poster, I'm interested in this too. I've never used a controller for a PC game before, but then again, I've not played a game that feels like WAR before either. It could be fun, and I'll be giving it a go as soon as the 360 controller I'm about to order arrives :) |

To replace a keyboard mouse combo with a xbox controller is probably the most illogical thing you can do in a MMO. I know there are some not too bright people out there, but it does not take much to realize how much better the mouse and keyboard are over a controller. |

I'm not sure how well something like this could be implemented, but I am also interested in trying this.
The only other game on my pc I use a game pad for is the Grand Theft Auto games. I have them all, and since I also played them on my ps2 and xbox 360, it just seemed natural to play using the controller versus the keyboard. |

Exactly was I was thinking, it makes no sense to use a controller, they are just way too limited in their use. |

FFXI played well with a controller actually, but you really didn't do much running around while fighting you just camped an area for ahwile and had people pull mobs in. Im not sure how well it would work for WAR though. |

I hope a ton of people do this so i can dominate them. Seriously tho, talk about nerffing yourself. "Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one ..." - Thomas Paine |

but wouldnt this potentially reduce carpel tunnel syndrome from using the mouse too much? my wrist is already hurting from my frist day of war yesterday.
