Why Aren't My CoD Controller Controls Working?

-

I’ve been really confused about the controller support for Call of Duty games on my device. I’ve tried playing both Modern Warfare and Black Ops, but it seems like none of them recognize my controller properly. I checked the settings and it only shows options for keyboard and mouse. The sticks and buttons on my controller don’t seem to do anything in-game. Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on?

What version of CoD are you trying to play? Sometimes the older games don’t have optimal support on newer systems. I think Black Ops 1 has that Plutonium thing which is worth checking out if you’re facing issues. But Modern Warfare might just not work with controllers in the first place.

It sounds like you’re having a tough time with controller support! If you’re playing Black Ops 1, it only has proper controller support through a custom client called Plutonium. Unfortunately, the original Modern Warfare doesn’t have any native controller support at all. Make sure to check if you’re using the right client for Black Ops! That’s likely where your problem lies.
