How to use a controller on MW2 (360/XB1/XSX, PS3/PS4/PS5)

Download CC, subscribe and the profile will be added to the controller.

First things first. MW2 doesn't have official controller support on the PC, so you wont be able to have aim assist when you play.

Goto the steam store (this guide is for controller companion) and buy controller compaion its 3 bucks.

This guide will be for xbox one/360 controller and PS3/PS4 controller. I'm not sure about 3rd party hardware, it should work if they support Xinput or HID.

Xbox one/360
Connect your controller to your PC via USB. Let the drivers install. Play a game to see if it works (that has controller support)

Open controller compaion
Head over to my profile and browse my workshop item its the PERFECT key for key from xbox/ps. I play on tactical so I knife with B instead of right analog (you can change this) Download it and it will automatically map the keys. Save the profile and you're all done. This will only work on the MP portion of the game if you want it for the single player let me and ill add it to my workshop.

You can either have the controller hooked up via usb or dongle. I personally use the official dongle for seemless wireless play.

You're all done.

Now for Playstation controllers. You must disable driver signature enforcer (youtube a guide)
First things first. Follow the guide above and have the profile ready to go.

Download this software. It will install a few things and add some icons to your desktop
When It comes time to select your controller hit the drop down arrow and PS3 or PS4.

What it does: It tricks windows into thinking your PS controller is a xbox controller so if you play say... Resident Evil you'd see xbox controls on screen. A=X, B=O, RT=R2 etc. Once SCP has finished everything you can turn on the controller via usb and it emulate an xbox controller.

Seems like a lot but its fairly simple I can play MW2 with a controller by just pressing the xbox home button.


Things to keep in mind:

MW2 doesn't have official support for controllers, on PC. No aim assist
It simulates the M+KB
Its 10000000x easier to tube with.
Unless you're really close to someone you will get slaughtered in long range firefights

I would suggest just sticking with mouse and keyboard. If its something you struggle with just get a game you're familar with from console. I tought myself in 1999 when I was playing counter strike.

Any questions or if you got stuck somewhere shoot me a comment and I'll be glad to help you.
