BF2S Forums Mouse Sensitivity (Snipers)

Well, I recently switched to a g5 mouse. I used to use a razer viper. To be honest, it was more of a psychological thing that improved my sniping. But, to answer. I use 800 dpi if its hyper long range shots, and 2000 dpi for all other occasions. I know this is super fast for a sniper, but I guess I have a steady hand (artist.) Hope it helps.

for sniping I use 800 dpi
for infantry 1000 dpi
tank-whoring 1800 dpi

I love my G5

650 dpi for everything

What sensitivity level do u use when you are playing sniper? What type of mouse do u use? And finally, what type of mouse do u think is the best for sniping ?  (EXPLAIN PLEASE)   

Mx518, 400 DPI, best mouse is a mouse that can move the cursor and on which the left mouse button can be used

For normal infantry = 850 dpi
helis and jets = 1000 dpi.
tanks = 1250 dpi


sniping = i throw my mouse in the bin.

i just use a regular ole mouse..... it would be kinda nice though to be able to change the sensitivity on the fly

G5 at 400, no weights.

I used to use a Microsoft optical mouse; this was absolutely fine IMO. The entire of one account's sniping was accomplished with it and it has an accuracy for the sniper rifle of 52.32% and I earned both Expert Sniper Combat and Expert Sniper Specialist (with only Basic Explosives Ordinance so no OTT claymore spamming). I also have two practice accounts with accuracies above 60% made before the G5.

So for all practical purposes I think that once you pass a certain standard any mouse will do as long as you like the way it feels in your hand and the buttons work well.

Additional buttons/actions for quick switching to the pistol and knife are an advantage, but not essential. Now that I'm used to it I never change the sensitivity on the G5, I use the game's sensitivity changes to adjust for vehicles; this frees up two extra buttons to map if you wanted.

Mouse sensitivity really doesn't come into play while sniping.

What utter tosh. Try sniping at targets over 100m using a G5 @ 2,500 with the game's sensitivity set at 1.

i really need a G5 mouse....but its kinda expensive...

Buy an optical then.

...and i dunno whether to upgrade my graphics card and RAM or buy a G5...

More RAM can mean a huge improvement in the speed the game loads and in the reduction of laggy time immediately after you spawn (like from 5-10 seconds to only 1 or 2). I couldn't get over how much of a difference there was when I went from 1 to 2 gigs.

A better graphics card could make a massive difference; potentially you could play at current settings with a higher resolution and still get a higher framerate.
