Hey all,
I was wondering...
Is it really possible to bind specific sensitivities to certain weapons? If so, how?
Thx. :icon25:
Specific Weap Sensitivity?
Sure is. You'll have to read some of the material in the sticky threads here about how config files and console commands work (if you're not already well versed).
When you've figured that out, the answer will become apparent. To help you along, here's the weapon key portion of my CFG:
There's no sensitivity switching in there but the method will be very apparent.
I have run variable sensitivities in the past. My experience was that it takes a very long time to become accustomed to the variations, and getting your responses accustomed to having to alter behavior depending which one of numerous buttons you've jabbed. It's one thing to understand 'I press this button I get this weapon' but quite a different thing to understand 'I press this button I get this weapon and I have to aim this way'.
Hope that makes sense. Good luck

Hmmm, interesting.
I have some experience in cfg's and have made a couple myself (very flawed, but for the most part OK) I get the gist of what your saying as well. I don't know if it's worth the time though. I don't think it will increase skill level and gameplay, do you? I've just never been able to sit with a specific mouseaccel or sensitivity :icon31:
Thank you for your quick response as well
I appreciate it.

I appreciate it.I think I know what you mean about keeping one setting. I find that if I'm losing I'll start to blame it on my setup and start tweaking things, like net settings and mouse settings... and inevitably that throws my game further off and I get more frustrated and.... ugh.
I'm settled now though, with a pretty low sensitivity that lets me do almost exactly 360degrees with a full edge-to-edge sweep across my mouse pad.
I know I'm losing out on fast rocket reactions though. But it's worth it for rail and LG accuracy.
