If you are having problems setting up your joystick, add the following to your USER.CFG file:
The things you'll want to play with are:
cl_joystick_gain - The higher this value is set to, the faster a full throw of the joystick is going to move the reticule.
cl_joystick_sensitivity - The smaller this value is set to, the more sensitive your joystick will become. E.g. a slight throw of the joystick will trigger the movement. i.e. If you set this number to something big like 5, you'll smash the crud outta your joystick trying to get anything to move (which is funny in itself).
cl_joystick_throttle_range - This is a flag to tell your Joystick to have a middle STOP zone when the throttle is centered. Pushing forward makes you go forward, pulling back makes you go backward and putting the throttle in the middle will make you stop. I HIGHLY suggest you don't mess with this value. No I'm not going to help you with anything if you've messed with this value.
cl_joystick_invert_throttle - This will make sure that when you push forward on your throttle, you're going to accelerate.
cl_joystick_invert_pitch - When this is set to 1, you will look up when you pull BACK on the joystick. You will look down if you press FORWARD on the joystick. This is how airplanes work and how you should leave it unless you're some sort of demon spawn that does it backwards. If you are demon spawn, then set the value to 0 if you want to look the wrong direction when pressing forward or back on the joystick.
cl_joystick_deadzone - This is the amount of non-movement wiggle room when you're joystick is centered. The smaller you make this, the less wiggle room there will be.
NOTE:
Remember, turning a Mech (it's feet) is a DIGITAL (on/off) movement at the moment. This means when you press left or right to turn your Mech, it turns just like you're pressing the A or D key on the keyboard. Slight movements on the joystick react like a key press. We know this is not how sim players want it and it should be small movements = slow turns. The problem is, the fix requires a huge code update on Mech movement. This is something we cannot tackle at the moment but it IS going to be addressed. We just can't give you a confirmed date of delivery.
cl_joystick_gain = 8 cl_joystick_sensitivity = 0.75 cl_joystick_throttle_range = 0 cl_joystick_invert_throttle = 1 cl_joystick_invert_pitch = 1 cl_joystick_invert_yaw = 0 cl_joystick_invert_turn = 0 cl_joystick_deadzone = 0.1

Just tried this config on a Saitek x45 just copied and pasted the lines to user config using notepad in windows 8 and your the dude IT WORKED for Me PS I'm back
The first few times I tried to play using the joystick I got so frustrated that I ended up logging out after 1 or 2 matches. In fact I've barely played since the game came online. (Granted Civ5, GW2, SWTOR, Borderlands 2, Dishonored, and finally finishing the Riddler challenges in Batman:AC cut into my play time too. 
) I'm glad there are other old timer players who were able to figure out the config settings and share them. Seriously did the programmers never once play the previous MW games using a joystick? Or did M$ threaten to sue them if they used the same control set ups?
