    I'm pretty sure my sensitivity is at 8 or 9. It's 7 at the least.

    I don't know how you can play with a sensitivity <5. It must take an entire minute to turn around...

    I usually keep my sensitivity at 3-5. Controller is already pretty imprecise, don't need to make it worse.

    Unless you're playing on PC then I understand the higher sensitivity.

    5-7 I believe.

    Also, can Hacker Pro hack claymores if you manage to flank them? I had the idea of flanking a claymore, making it mine, then drawing the guy who planted it into his own claymore with some unsuppressed fire to make him come investigate.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    3-5. I don't need snap aiming more than I need to be able to minutely adjust my crosshairs and since I have ham hands, i can't always move the sticks slightly.

    Yes, but you can only have one Claymore active at a time. So if you set one prior to hacking one, the first will detonate automatically.

    Good point. Although I will admit that I'm not good with the Jammer. The Motion Sensor and claymores I understand their use, but the Jammer to me just screams, 'I'm somewhere in this radius, hunt me down'. Claymores and Sensors I use to watch my flanks, but I have no real idea how to properly utilize the Jammer, except as annoyance, which doesn't get me kills.

    Since it disables nearby enemy equipment I use to to shut it down long enough to rewire it, pick up the jammer and run.

    They're also good for making people on the other team panic if they're not using Hacker and you leave it somewhere far away from you.

    I love me some jammer. I typically only play objective game modes, primarily domination. I run with a group who actually knows how to play. So when we're defending a point, and not just running back and forth between points continually trading them with the other like like a bunch of n00bs, the jammer is a pretty handy piece of equipment. It does scream "hey someone is here", but in objective game modes, that's pretty much a given anyways the vast majority of the time.

    I would like to see a "persistence" perk - something that keeps equipment around across "lives". There are some interesting possibilities here.

    Sounds like a problem with the dead zone on your sticks. Maybe you need a new controller. Perfect excuse to pick up one of those sexy new silver models.

    Oh yes but that's the beauty. And that's only for the smart players, maybe the ones using hacker who you have to worry about. The vast majority of players run into a jammer's radius and freak the fuck out, making them easy pickings. You put it down, run away from it to the edge of its radius (IMPORTANT PART), exploit the stupidity that follows. If you've got a guy with Hacker running straight for it, they're easy to take down. Some players stop moving when they get into the radius of the jammer, even better.

    Another use is on the front lines, if you see a big cluster of red dots coming on the minimap, drop the jammer and flank!

    Nah, it's just me I think. I bought a new controller a couple months back, plus I have the new one from my Slim that I got back in July. They are fairly accurate since they haven't been put through the wringer yet! I'll try the one that came with my Slim though, since my wife was using the "new" one in Left 4 Dead and may have overdone it.

    I can't aim worth a damn and I just prestiged. I miss my SPAS already, but I guess I'll just tough it out with the m16 until I can unlock the masterkey. My Freeks should be arriving shortly, so maybe that'll help my general inadequacies.
    In the meantime, my emblem is fancy and none of you are obliged to care.

    I have a set of the kontrol freek extensions. They pretty much will destroy your controller, unless they changed the design since I bought mine. Putting them on and removing them puts a large amount of strain on the sticks. They in essence increase your sensitivity, but I'm not good enough at any game to need them.

    Thi, and if you have two extra layers, make slightly larger face in black and a slightly larger hand in black to give it a black outline both in the aft-ground, as would be expected in a cartoon image.

    Kontrol freeks are pretty sweet. I use one on my right stick for aiming and I can definitely notice the difference. Taking them off is a bitch though, they are also super sharp and will make cuts in the rubber.

    Big thanks to whoever recommended SoH with silenced SPAS. Now I am killing mans like it's going out of style.

    I use it a lot on Havana, Villa, Array, and WMD, but if the other team is watching out for it I give up. Snipers work fine in this game on the right maps. Grid can be sniper friendly occasionally, but that depends on how your team is moving around.
