was using the d-pad in playstation2, but switch to analog on pc, because of crap 'round d-pad' on my gamepad. i think ps2 controllers are the best in the sensitivity thingy and the 'plus/cross d-pad' which allows you to do more control and it's easier to make the players run straight. i used to hate the analog though, because it has a strong recoil, and ruin my games.
