I have the sidewinder force feedback 2, so I'm glad to hear you will support it.  Honestly I have used it for every game that supports joysticks for about seven or eight years now because I played MW4 when it came out with my FF2.  It is by far the best joystick, I've seen and I will never give it up until the joystick nazi's sabatoge it in the middle of the night because after 8 years it appeartly won't die on its own ;D
