Sensitivity in Halo 2

[gaelan]

One of my buddies was talking about adjusting the sensitivity of my controls in Halo2. Does this help you turn around quicker and adjust aiming? If that is true, I'm sure it is a little more difficult accurately aim, but I'm sure you adjust over time. Is there a recommended sensitivity setting for effective online play?

[danh920]

it does help you turn around quicker, crank it up and get used to it

[gmzone]

I thought you were talking about people being kindler and gentler when they frag you.

[organicow]

AGREE'D. it has helped my game tremendously. I turned it up a little bit at a time so i could get used to it - now i have it on the highest setting and it is great!

:lol:

but yea, i have mine set a but higher than default....like 6 or something...

[gaelan]

I'll give it a try.

[craven_fiend]

its worth trying if it will help improve your game.

[gmzone]

I'm sorry I sniped you when you weren't paying attention.. No man, it's OK. I'm the one that should be sorry. I mean, I was talking trash the whole time. No man, *sniff, sniff*, it's cool. I love you man.

[Hunter55]

its easy ier to yse about any gun with the higher sensitivity except the sniper, so if you're a sniper person, you might have to take a while to get used to it.

Try it on custom games so you don't f up your stats and/or your pride

[bil4l]

Dang, I have had mine set on 3 for years, and i'm not bad (level 10 on TS), I should try gradually raising it to see how much I improve, thanks dudes.

[Monsta Mack]

I have mine set to 7 or 8 usually.
Get use to it, it will save ur life alot on live, turning around wise.

I also agree it makes sniping harder, but u must get use to that as well.

i just found out the other night that your rank can go down. Mine never has, but I heard somebody talking about how theirs went down.

[swetooth9]

probably talkin about the rumble pit thing...maybe...

[elSantoNegro]

no.. Rank can go down.. Lose enuff games or not finish high enough a few times.. and that number will go down..
I used to be a 13 in Big Team battles.. but I played with some random ppls and had alot of games where peeps dropped... (god I hate Droppers.)
and my rank went down to a 10.. Ive got it back up to 12.. but it took awhile. :)

[gaelan]

rank schmank, i just have fun...i couldn't even tell you what my overall is, but i think my BTB is 9. i only know that cause that is what i play most of the time...which explains why i suck in slayer games.

[ryanbph]

I have mine at 7 right now, was thinking about moving it up again

[gaelan]

what does it go up to?

I don't know how it is done but you can check how close you are to ranking up or down off the bungie site. Had a guy the other night check it on his pc while we were chatting in the lobby.

When you look at your stats, there is a little bar meter that shows how "full" your level is. Fill the bar graph and you level up.

[swetooth9]

pokemon style!!!

[XboxMaster]

Yeah, raising your sensitivity can really help. Especially when using sword. I have mine set at 10 (the highest) currently.

[MasterLin1]

High sensitivty ruins any kind of precision aiming imo.

Default 3 here. Headshots are easier.

[CaptainObviousXl]

mine is 10

I second that the majority of the time you will see someone coming from a distance so you will need precision over speed.

[Trakan]

Mine's at 5. You won't see me frantically looking around trying to aim. Also, try turning it down, and then sniping. WAY easier.

heres all you guys talking about sniping is better at lower levels, and our best sniper, UgamerX, plays at 10. Also I seem to play better as I raise mine. Im at a 6 i think right now

[enlightenedgamer]

I use 10.

For trouble with mid- to long-range aiming, try moving your legs (left stick) instead of your arms and head(right stick). I get the reticule situated at headshot level and then sidestep to fine tune my targeting. This has the added effect of making you a tougher target to hit. Using this technique with a battle rifle in my hands, I typically get more headshots than those who snipe constantly. If you can constantly get headshots, you can even beat a plasma-smg dual-wielder from surprisingly short distances. Watch out for pistol combos, though.

Also (on higher sensitivities) you shouldn't be trying to make too many subtle thumb movements when moving the right stick. Most of the time, you should be clicking the stick all the way to the side and holding it for however long it takes to reach your target.

Grip is also important. I use my middle fingers for the triggers and my pointer fingers rest on the top of the controller to stabilize it. I find that this puts my thumbs into a better position for precision aiming and moving.

I'm using the original controller, but that is more of a personal preference dependent on hand size.

Good luck.

Yeah, but, he's UgamerX. :lol:

This is just through my experience. I keep mine around 4 or 5. I think others should try though, because it has helped me.

[Murcielago77]

Its a matter of personal preference. Sure it might improve your skill but you just need to play as comfortably as you can get and some people play just fine on the low sensitivity.

Yes I play at 10, but I'm thinking about lowering it to 8 or 9. I may be a little out of practice, but I seem to be getting too jumpy when aiming and I often move my crosshairs farther than I would like and end up missing my target.

Everyone says they know "the best halo sniper EVAR!" but they don't. I have a couple friends that are ridiculously good at sniping, are they the best? I had a friend who went on a 27 kill streak on Coagulation for CTF, the game said "UNFREAKING-BELIEVABLE" Thats not lie, if you don't believe me, try going on a 25 kill streak you'll hear it. Does it make him the best sniper EVAR? No. Course not. So saying someone is your best sniper doesn't say much. Every little Halo circle has their best sniper.

I would be surprised if anyone could be much better than UGamer though. Try playing with him sometime. He hits the first shot every time. I'm very jealous.

[CrimsonGeist]

It's great if you can get used to it.

Hey douchebag. Read back over his post better next time. Noticed he said, "our best sniper". Did he say, "the best sniper". No.

[zewone]

I stick with 3 and kick ass all day. I'm think I'm going to try 4 or 5 but I've been getting better at sniping and I don't want to mess it up.

All he was saying is the best sniper in our clan plays with a 10. Dick.

If he doesn't, the rest of CAG probably has an inkling about it.

[KingDox]

I have cranked it up to I think 7 or 8 over my time playing halo2. I've cranked it up one click every few weeks and try to get used to it. I think higher is better. But it all comes down to what your good at.

[MasterLin1]

Whoa guys, calm down. I never once said UgamerX sucks at sniping. I'm sure he's a fine sniper. Sorry if I implied he sucked. I was simply stating that there's always someone better.

No, we know you didn't say he sucked, you said that we said he was the "BEST SNIPER EVAR," when in fact we said he was our best sniper.

Exactly. You said "every circle has their best sniper," and we were saying that, in our circle, it's UGamer.

[MasterLin1]

Yeah, I just noticed that as well, but I'm not gonna bother to edit my post, I'll let people see how bad I am at reading. But anyways, I'll apologize now. Damn, you CAGs got eachother's backs...

[Trakan]

Damn, you CAGs got eachother's backs...

Damn straight.

[Ugamer_X]

God you CAGers are so nice, I appreciate it.

BTW, I do agree that there is always someone better though...I personally think that Arikado and some other members in our clan are better than me at sniping tactics (ie: hiding places). It's not all about aiming and shooting.

[jlarlee]

I heard that elite counterstrike players would actually play with low sensitivity but with huge honking mousepads. I have never verified that though

Have you ever seen a "gaming mousepad"? They are as thin as possible, and are usually oversized so you never have to lift the mouse.

Besides a 5 year stint with CS and a four year one with Worms 2 my PC game playing is limited. But it sounds like I could have used one of those.

[Kaijufan]

Until about a month ago I used the default setting on Halo and Halo 2, but then I switched it to 10 and I haven't changed it back.

You don't go into battle with someone unless you have their back and you KNOW they have yours.
