Learn to use the keyboard and mouse, you will find it's much better when
aiming etc.....

Correction: you should use the mouse AND the keyboard, as any decent
player would tell you. These kinds of games are not suitable for using a
joystick.

I guess you've never played a fps before, almost everybody plays with
keyboard and mouse. The mouse is so much more accurate than a
joystick.

It would be kinda fun having a scrim with console players (joystick)
vs PC players (keyboard/mouse). Guess who would win?

Since there is no way to activate the joystick from the menu system you will
have to enable joystick support from the console.

1) While in the game, press the Tilde " ~ " key to bring the console down.

2) Type the following in to the console:

/in_joystick 1 (Press the Enter key)

3) Quit the game and restart it. Once the game is restarted you will have
joystick support.

I use an 8-button joystick and mouse, and it works great!
