Playing Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 with an Xbox Controller on PC

=====================================================================================

If you're looking to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfighter 'sic' 3 using your trusty old Xbox controller instead of the default keyboard and mouse setup, then worry no more! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

First things first - make sure you have both Steam (the digital distribution platform) installed on your PC as well as Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 itself. If not, head over to the official Steam store and pick up both titles before proceeding further!

Next up, launch Steam from within Windows by double-clicking its icon located either in Start > All Programs or directly onto desktop depending upon where you've placed it there first.

Once inside steam navigate through the top left corner until 'Library' appears then click on that button afterwards which should bring up all games currently owned under your account including CoD MW3 naturally speaking:

1. Now, with the game selected from within Steam's library window hover over its title bar at very top right edge of main interface - look out for three dots icon resembling a little gearwheel symbol when mouse pointer hovers over it.

2. Upon clicking this 'More' dropdown menu option choose 'Properties' next down below; alternatively press 'Delete' key while holding Shift + F1 keys simultaneously on keyboard if you prefer using shortcut combos instead!

3. A new window will pop up showing various settings related specifically towards particular game title being viewed currently ours being CoD MW3 obviously enough so scroll down until reaching the section labeled 'Controller' near bottom half way through list:

4. Underneath 'Controller' there should be another subheading saying something like “Joystick/ Gamepad Settings”. Click on that link once found.

5. Now you're in the meat and potatoes - here's where all the magic happens! Look for an option called 'Controller Type' (or similar depending upon operating system used) and select 'Xbox 360 Wired Controller' from drop down menu below it:

6. Save these changes by clicking 'OK' button at bottom right corner of this window.

7. Finally, exit Steam completely then relaunch CoD MWOW3 once again via Start > Programs (or Applications depending on OS). Your Xbox controller should now be recognized automatically when inserted into USB port and ready to use within game itself!
