Thanks guys, that makes me breath easier. However, I'm still using the "old" but good, Sidewinder 3d Pro. Will an analog joystick, ie, thru the gameport work? or will it be restricted to USB?
I just had to fire up Crysis last night and play thru the game...being a hardcore MW fan and playing online for over 10 years in leagues, I really wasn't all that impressed with MWLL when news of the project came trickling out. I mean, how u gonna make a "first person shooter" into a mech game where u feel like u are piloting a "battlemech", and using these machines and having a "simulation" feel to them.
However, as more and more news and pics, along with videos surfaced....it's looking pretty promising. After playing Crysis last night again, the visuals, terrain and effects are quite good, picturing this in a mech game, is getting more and more exciting.
So, finally came on board and joined the board here.

I will be a much happier (and excited camper) if my joystick will work.
