Has anyone else had sucess with Unreal Tournament 2004 and playing it with a USB game controller? I bought a USB game controller and whenever I attempt to play UT2004, I can only move forward and backwards. I can't turn around or look up. And if I don't continously keep the 'up' button pressed it will pan down and I get a permanent view of the ground. When that happens, I can't get my character to look up again. Its a nightmare. I'm fine when I'm playing Need For Speed Underground. Could it be that UT2004 does not support USB game play? If anyone could give me any insight, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I use the Belkin n52 usb game controller on all my pc games with a mouse. However, it's designed for the pc, not the xbox or whatever.

I figure it would be easier playing with a USB controller.
But it looks like I'm going to have to play with the keyboard, which I don't mind. Just thought I'd give it a try ya know? And no, I'm not disabled

okaaay then... (btw a secret that every console player discovers when they move to the pc is that a mouse and keyboard beats a joypad everytime)
