BF2S Forums Playing BF2 with arm in plaster, What a nightmare

I feel for ya. Though I've never broken a single bone in my body. It would suck.

i broke my right wrist back in the days of bf1942.  at first all i could do is drive around in the buggys running people over, but after a few weeks the pain went away and I got used to using the mouse with such constrained motion. It was ok, just had to adjust the playing style so i wasnt in extremely close combat.

nice sig. stupid padders.

How did you break it?

I played BHD for 6 weeks with my left hand in a splint whilst both tendons in my middle finger healed (PC build turned nasty). You'll adapt.

i crushed fingers in a break and i had pins in and plaster up to my elbow too luckly my therapist took it off

i feel you pain

I used to race BMX and when I broke a bunch of my fingers they put me in a cast up to my elbow. I still rode my bike, although I couldn't do anything more than a wheelie. Actually, it braced my arm pretty well and I was able to ride them easier than before. Maybe you could use a coarse file and file down areas so the mouse fits into your hand better. I know when I got my cast they left my trigger finger out, lol, as well as my thumb. You'll find a way, trust me.

I have been adapting and getting a little better but still no where as good as normal which is quite frustating,Its that frustrating i went out yesterday and bought an xbox 360 premium just to stop myself moaning for the next 6 weeks.(It looks great on my 32" LCD  HDTV too)I knew i'd be able to play the xbox 360 right as i use a 360 pad to play GT Legends and Need for speed most wanted on my pc. Went out today and bought Saints Row for the xbox, i got king kong with it but im not really into it, gonna try and source PGR3 and maybe Test Drive 5. Been playing the 360 all day but still im pulled towards BF2,gonna go on for a blast in five, yeh why not. My xbox is good but the PC rules.
