I'm willing to bet that a few people who say they use 10, don't actually use it. Anyway, I use a 5. It's not too fast and it's not too slow.


Exactly. I use a 5 as well almost all of the time. Occasionally 6.

I use 9. I find using anything less than 5 puts you at a serious dis-advantage. The lower your sensitivity, the longer it takes to get to your target and the longer it takes to turn around. I find Halo is all about the first shot and the faster you can get that first shot, the more of a chance you have to get someone before they get you. I have no doubt that it's easier to aim with a lower sensitivity, but someone who is used to and steady with a 9 or 10, will always have the advantage.

To all the people using 10, could you tell why you use it? I only raise the sensetivity above 3 when I'm bugging out and I'm playing REALLY well. Is it really worth the trouble?


I use 10 because it's fun I don't really care if I do good or bad at a video game any way....you get used to it too.

I use 10 because I slowly got used to it, I randomly started to use it so that I could be diffrent from everyone else. It took a while to get used to it but I did it. Besides it's funny when people freak out about my settings. Sensetivity: 10, Buttons: Greenthumb, Invert thumbsticks. Anything below 10 feels way too slow, and if I go back to defult it feels like my character weighs a ton. If anyone wants to play with ten you should slowly get used to it. Go from 3 to 5, then 5 to 7, then 7 to 9 or 10. Also, 10 is really good for sniping because when your zoomed in it doesn't move so slowly.

I really don't think sensitivity matters that much. For example, a smart player can sneak up on an opponent and attack weaknesses of the opponents set-up. Sensitivity only matters in head-on collisions with enemies, and it's best to use the one you're best with; however, many people are upset with the sensitivity they use. A high sensitivity allows increases the x and y vector of your reticule. Therefore, there is an optimal sensitivity based of course on the playing style you play with. A battle-rifle strong player should set his or her sensitivity to 4, while a sniper can make due with 3. The battle-rifle is more versatile, therefore, sensitivity four allows Battle-rifles to engage in mid-range to close-range battles more effectively then sensitivity 3; also, sensitivity four takes into account the y vector of the opponents jump speed at mid-range. Many people tend to jump to throw off an enemies reticule; however, a good battle-rifle(ist) can easily adjust by just changing his reticule's y-coordinate while moving with the left joystick to change his reticule's x coordinate. Sensitivity four takes into consideration the y-vector of the enemy when jumping relative to a mid-range distance. Snipers control large areas of the map and can usually kill an advancing force far away, therefore 3 allows him to keep the scope stable and easily make adjustments to his x coordinate, if the vector of the opponents x velocity changes direction. Of course, it's all situational in the end... so nothing is 100% effective.

EDIT: The higher the sensitivity the more observations a player can make because it reduces the time from point (a) to point (b). A lower sensitivity allows for more fluid movements. Just try an be accurate with where to move your sights, moving through point (c) to get to point (b) will always damage your skill no matter at what sensitivity.

Well your completely wrong. I know alot of people who are really good and they play with a defult sensitivity, other people I know use 5 and are also really good. sensitivity has nothing to do with skill. You play on what you feel is right. Elites dont really have a disadvantage either, yes they are easier to snipe from the front but, they don't get hit as easy from behind. If I use an elite I play just as good as I do now.

I can't believe so many people use 5 or lower. Playing Rumple Pit I had to jack the sensitivity up to 8 to even be competetive. If I am playing a lot I will turn it up to 9. 10 is just ridiculous especially with the sniper. Before I played online however, I did use a 5, and still wish i could go back to taking my time when aiming and really enjoying the kill.

Whoever is using anything below a 5 is either a NUB or only uses the sniper and plays a lot of customs. You get in somebodies face with a 5 sensitivity and you are going to get beat down.

What thumbstick lay out are you guys using Default, or something else such as Legacy, which is what I use.
