Using my Xbox wireless controller I can play the game fine but I am new and cannot use the controller to navigate through menus or action reports after a match

My laptop is hooked up to my tv so I can't really get to it to use the mouse on it to navigate through menus and wondered is there a way you can use the Xbox controller to say set up a match or click so that it starts a match instead of using the laptop mouse pad to manually navigate through the menus

Please help a noob

Thanks

James

Give this a go: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/jmouse.shtml

This software is advertised to let you control your mouse with your game pad. So when the GUI menus appear you can control the mouse pointer with your pad.

Just got it doesn't work inside the game ?

I mean, this is on you to figure out. Sorry to put it bluntly, but you are an extreme special case and I nor most anyone else do not use gamepads exclusively.

If its such a big deal I suggest an even easier way to go about things: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wireless-Mobile-Mouse-4000/dp/B002DPUUL4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345263147&sr=8-1&keywords=microsoft+wireless+mouse

I recommend this. The red button acts as a fire button.

Actually my Xbox 360 controller has one advantage over mouse and keyboard, once I have the view at head height I can just leave it there and always be aiming at the head. But it's still no substitute for a mouse and keyboard, if you have someone shooting you in the back you want to be able to spin round quick, with a controller your dead before you even get to face the enemy. My recommendation:-

This is the Aimon XB for PC and XBOX 360, it gives you an analogue stick controller with buttons to replace your keyboard and it's fully configurable. You'll probably want to use your PC mouse though as there's is not as good in most cases.

Ok that was retry blunt monkey killer but thanks for your input I only play for nostalgia reasons not competitive that's all but I think you are right if I want to play with gamepad a wireless mouse is the way to go forward

Thank you everyone for your time in this I just wanted to check if there was any options in the menu I may have missed before buying a wireless mouse. I just can't work keyboard mouse it's just not my thing but Kudos to anyone that does I'm sure it's a much better playing system

It's just one of those things that once you get used to it, it becomes second nature. Hope you give it a shot sometime!
