Battlefield 3 with a gamepad problems?

please do not rant about how keyboard and mouse is the best, perfect, only way, etc... to play pc fps games, i do not want to hear it.

I am trying to play Battlefield 3 singleplayer campaign with a ps3 controller and/ or xbox 360 controller, they both work about 90%. However when there is something like press left mouse button to punch a guy in the face, the fire button on the controller does not work. i literally have to put down the controller and start using the keyboard and mouse for those scenes. also there are no xbox 360 button pop ups, like press B to do this. i have played at least 20 recent pc games that have this, is there a way to turn this on? any help would be appreciated as i want to enjoy the single player with a gamepad.

I had a similar problem with Bad Company 2. In order to "knife" someone, I had to put down the controller and use the keyboard & mouse.

Lame.

I was having same issues, you can download xpadder and bind keyboard keys to controller and then the game will work properly with controller, if you want to set up different binds just go into game options and set keyboard binds because your controller is acting like a keyboard mouse combo. Hope that helps

If you are playing it on pc you should not be using a controller.

geez guys hes playing SP let him play how he wants. I thought that was the whole advantage of PC gaming you know playing how you want. I vote the xpadder route which should work.

Set everything to default, write down what each KEYBOARD/MOUSE key is assigned to what, then use XPADDER and create a profile for BF3 by assigning the keys to buttons on your controller.
