Battlefield 1 controller Support (XB1)

[JSind11]

Just want to know if BF 1 has native controller support, or if it will work the way it did with BF4?

 

If anyone has it already, can you see how it is with an xbox 1 controller. 

(I am aware of the inherent dis-advantage I will be at using a controller, but I simply cannot play with KB/M, and tbh i've never been good enough at these games to worry about it.

 

Thanks.

I'm sure its just plug and play as long as your controller doesn't have driver issues. if its wireless make sure you have the usb dongle

 

Your gonna get killed a lot though

Stick with kb and mouse u will make progress within few weeks. It takes months and months to get anywhere near decent for new user but its hella more worth than playing on a contorller just to spawn and die....

 

Theres no other way to play fps on pc atm. Nothing else makes sense. For singleplayer I dont care what u use but MP is waste of time in your case (unless u are a pilot and only fly).

I personally pick up my Xbox One pad anytime I fly, and use keyboard/mouse for ground play. It just switches over as soon as you press a button or move a stick on the Xbox pad (and switches back when you click or press a keyboard key), so I guess it has native controller support. I haven't had any issues with it, anyway.

 

Even if it's not terribly intuitive for you at first, I would recommend trying to put in the time to get used to keyboard + mouse control during infantry combat. It may really improve your play. Up to you, of course.

I will do in the future, but at the mo, my pc is connected to the tv downstairs and is essentially a OP console.

KB/M better for flying also, more precision still
