I was just wondering what kind of joystick would be good for this game? Preferably one not more then 50 dollars.

I'm using a Saitek "Cyborg 3D Gold" right now. Not enough buttons, though. I have a Saitek X36 sitting in the corner over here waiting for me to try it out. It's a dual unit... one side with throttle and tons of switches, the other side with the stick and more tons of switches. Might be overkill. Honestly, I first started playing this game with a mouse and keyboard, and it may very well be the best way to play. The game isn't really designed as a flight sim, so the joystick is only for those more comfortable with one. It's been a real learning curve getting used to the stick after learning with the mouse. I'm determined, however. =)

Problem I find with the mouse is, if you're strafing and firing around someone, you gotta keep picking up and moving the mouse if you want to continue in the same direction. Even have the sensitivity all the way up but it's still not enough - might go pick up a joystick for this reason. =)
