COD: AW Sensitivity

[Based Zetsu]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to know what is the best sensitivity to play CoD: AW on and also what is your play style?
I'm a strategic hardcore player. I dont camp and I really don't run n' gun. My sensitivity is set on 5.

Suggestion? Should I try a higher setting or naw?
With a game like AW, you gotta be fast even when you are your opponent is in the air. Reaction time and accuracy is critical.
My problem is. I get beat to the punch when in a gun battle everytime. My opponent exo dashes, turns around and shoots me or pass me and fly in the air and kills me before I have anytime to turn around or look up. Is this setting too low for this type of game?

Reviewing the Killcam, most people look like they play on 8 or higher. And that's the people that can jump over you and kill you or quickly do a 180 and dropshot you..

Hey man im using 8
Not only usomg when jumping to do a fast 180 like you mantioned
But i also use it because you can make sharper turns around walls and such
I dont tend to go over 8 just because i use Kontrol Freak so it does gove me better aim and movement
Try 7
5 is low and for most gamers its an advantage over you

Sensitivity 7? OK, I'll try that out and see how it works for me, I can be quick as far as reacting to a person which is good, but is gets a little messy when trying to aim down sights AND be accurate enough (more precise and faster than your opponent) to kill whoever you are facing. And them air fights are so tricky too. Clearly I'm doing something right when playing on 5. My K/D currently stands at 1.40 which is good. But I'll try what you said for sure. Thank You!

if you are working on increasing sensitivity then i suggest going up 1 at a time until you become use to the change....

I agree with sprayaim.. Thats what I did starting back in MW3 and now I'm playing on 13/14 in AW. I would classify myself as a run and gunner but also use shotgun/riot/sniper classes without adjusting it.

My technique was to take the sensitivity I was comfortable with in blops2, and I set it during the campaign mode to test it out where I wasn't messing with my k/d. Adjust it up and down one at a time until it was honed in to my preference.

My sensitivity is currently on 4 because I play a lot of competitive so this helps me with my aim a lot. In you case I think that your sensitivity is fine just how it is the way that you like to play.

In all honesty I can't really say much because I usually play on insane or 18 for sensitivity but I am very light on my joysticks usually and my personal opinion is the lower settings are nice to help control what I like to call the panic stick when someone pops out on you and surprises you lol but I agree with everyone else it ultimately comes down to what your personal style is. What I always do every new game is start in the middle and get a feel for now slow or fast my response is in game and slowly go up or down from there never by more than two at a time though. Its all trial and error really

On the flip side your sensitivity setting in my opinion will usually reflect towards your play style I have personally noticed the higher setting is good for less running and more slow moving tactical or light camping gameplay and the lower setting I find better for a run and gun style. For example hard scoping with high sensitivity can be an asset where as quick scoping on a high sensitivity can be very hard . very easy to move past your projected firing point

I'm on 16 right now but I was like you on a low setting back on COD4. There are different school of thoughts for this, but I've found if you want faster aim go high and if you want better accuracy go low. Start off by inching up if you go high. Trust me you'll get used to it in no time 😊.
