This is Just rediculous.... Why isnt the controller fully supported?? Plus the game runs pretty bad.. I dunno why I even bought it on PC now I have an awsome rig and wanted to take advantage of it but nooo... And then on top of all this you cant launch the game like any other normal game you have us launch a WEBPAGE and then launch our game options like that?? WTF is that!!! Game desingers need to fired for that one sorry..

It is ridicuolous. I have a work around for the mouse problem, but not for the free look problem.
I use a program called Xpadder to add keyboard or mouse functions to a gamepad's buttons and/or analog sticks. Xpadder also has the ability to map some special functions such as "toggle" and "set selector". Assigning a gamepad button as the "set selector" allows me to map a 2nd configuration of the gamepad which can only be used while the "set selector" is ON (when the "set selector" button is held).
Here are my settings in Xpadder:

As you can see, the "D-Down" button (down on the directional pad) is marked with a blue area with "2^" written on it. This means that D-Down is a set selector, and that when it is held down the functions of the rest of the buttons on the gamepad can be totally different than they were without the set selector being held down.
Now, here is what happens to the functions of the buttons when I hold down "D-Down":

You can see that while D-Down is held (indicated by the button being green) the function of the right analog stick is changed to control mouse movement, and the "right hat button" (R3) is changed to M (for Full Map).
I also have the "Left Mouse Button" mapped to RB (R1 on PS3).
If I want to get out of a menu or popup that requires a mouse, I just hold down on the dpad with my left thumb, while aiming the mouse with my right thumb, and controlling the left mouse button with RB. If I want to open the Map I just press R3 while holding D-Down. It works without any problems for me so far.
A problem that I'm just now realizing is that Xpadder is not a free program any more . Now it costs $10. The latest freeware version of Xpadder is from 2008, and it doesn't work on windows 7 or 8 (AFAIK). If you don't want to spend $10 then you can aquire it by some other, extralegal method (torrents), or maybe someone else knows of another program that can do all this for free.
I have heard that joy2key is a good free program, but I have no experience with it and I don't know if it has set selectors.
best of luck.

I use a super old version of xpadder, just run it in compatibility mode xp. Well it works if you have a profile already made. I used it for free look in bf3, maping my mouse to the dpad and looking around with the dpad. I use dpad down to reload aswell in aircrafts.
you got to upgrade to windows 8, its a huge performance increase and zero micro stuttering issues.
