Using a Controller with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on PC

Yes. The 2022 Modern Warfare II (and 2009 original via backward compatibility) fully supports controllers on PC.

How to Connect

• Xbox controllers (One, Series X/S, Elite): Plug USB-C or pair via Bluetooth—works instantly.
• PlayStation DualSense / DualShock 4: USB or Bluetooth; Steam Input handles mapping automatically.
• Other gamepads: Enable Steam Input (Steam → Settings → Controller → General Controller Settings) for full remapping, gyro, and chorded bindings.

Things to Consider

• Sensitivity & dead zones: Tweak in-game (Options → Controller) or via Steam Input for your playstyle.
• Aim assist: Enabled by default for controllers in most modes.
• Mouse/keyboard advantage: Higher precision for snapping targets; controllers excel at movement comfort.

Pick whichever feels best—cross-play lobbies mix both input methods.
