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?

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!

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.

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.

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.[/quote]
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.

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

High sensitivty ruins any kind of precision aiming imo.
Default 3 here. Headshots are 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

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.

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

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.

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.
