I like Halo. Since you are reading this, you probably do too.

I was looking at some past look sensitivity threads and I noticed that some high skill players use low sensitivities (4 or lower).

I'm new to Halo and so I've been having some look sensitivity issues trying to find my groove. I've been playing at 7, but my BR is pretty bad and sniping is near impossible. However playing at lower sensitivities makes it so frustrating to turn around.

To those playing at lower sensitivities, how do you compensate for not being able to turn and attack a AR rush (or anybody for that matter)? Do you just know the maps so well that you know where people congregate and how to approach it? What do you do about CQC when you hold the sword, shotgun, or mauler?

Thanks

PS: I wish we could specify separate sensitivities for each gun!

Do you miss many shots with the BR when you're sort of up close or no?

I have been using sensitivity 4 for everything for a long time...try lowering your sensitivity and work your way up as you get more comforable with your settings.

Why did you decide not to move yours up after such a long time? Not big into CQC or do you not find it a big deal?

If I'm being shot from the back, I usually run for cover. Seeing as the other guy already got the first shot, it's pretty useless to try and attack.

Though sometimes if he chases me, I bank a grenade off the wall so it lands behind me, run around a corner, then kill guy with no shields. It doesn't work/apply every time, but it's better than sitting somewhere and not doing anything.

Looking for a group of people to play customs with.

I play in 2 but the good part is that I don't miss a single shot... If you get shot first from the back it is near impossible to kill the person no matter if your sensitivity is in 10. (Unless the guys is really bad). I prefer to have it low so that I can kill those in front of me instead of no killing anyone because of the sensitivity.

People turn and kill me all the time, but I never realized until now that it's probably because I miss so many shots...
