Why would you want to play a first person shooter with a controller?

More importantly, why do you want to use a console controller to play a PC game? It's more precise with a Keyboard/Mouse combo.

The only way to use a XBOX 360 controller with this game is to use the wired USB XBOX 360 controller. For whatever reason the developers didn't code the game to pick up the wireless controller when using the XBOX 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver. The original Rainbow Six Vegas was the same way. All other games compatible with the XBOX 360 controller pick up the wireless controller fine and work properly.

I have a wired XBOX controller and it does the exact same thing as the wireless version. I click on the off button and it will not turn on.

I'm glad you guys were here to enlighten this poor soul. He must be thinking right now, "Gee, I'm such a ****ing dumbass. What was I thinking?" :roll:
