I've always had the problem of not having enough buttons on my joystick... Then today, my bud came over and told me, "Dude, how about you fly and leaving the targetting and shooting to me."
He meant it as a joke, yet it got me thinkin: It might just be interesting...
So i reconfigured my joystick, relinquishing all my weapons controls except my gun and put in their place, various flight related commands on the stick... Then i hooked up my game pad and put in the various weapons, targeting and the F4 view command...
Then i took off in an F-4J Phantom on Fighter Sweep with my buddy as RIO/WSO, and I as pilot... It was really interesting, as i flew in behind enemies my bud waited for the oppurtune time to target and fire...
I know its not Pure 2player action, but it was still an intersting blend of teamwork, timing and skill...
Try it with your friend sometime... Its cool...
