    something else is taking port 1's spot probably BF2 only detects the "first" controller if I remember correctly. I had a problem long time ago because it was using my keyboard for slot 1 and I had to fix it by disabling my keyboards gameing functions, there are programs out now to assign priority of devices tho that should fix it.

    Thats my first guess at your problem but it could actully be a few things.

    BF2 better with keyboard + mouse also I think.

    No, but since I have not played that game in a long time I recomend you try a specific forum like totalbf2142.com. People there will know more and it may even be already answered in a sticky (they have BF2 & 2142 forums)
