It's all dependent on your reaction time and your computer's specs.

It's a preference. High dpi may help, if you are precise. Low dpi may help, if you're fast.

Try them out & see what works best for you.

bump for answers

High DPI, high polling rate(>250hz)

Mouse sens should be set so that you can do a 180 in either direction without the mouse going off the pad.

and absolutly no acceleration.

for the mouse that is.

but accelerate you graphics all you want.

it all depends on how much sens you have in windows, the size of your mouse pad and what you prefer.

higher dpi just allows for higher sens, but if your a low sens gamer it's not that usefull.

no accel! \o/

but don't use a sens value based on what others use, base it on what feels best for you, what makes you play optimal :)

oh the 180 rule is good :)

People who apply that rule are getting owned. You should be able to make such turns within an inch.

Agree on high DPI (but prevent bottleneck), and acceleration off.

The faster, the better... but in the end it is about putting in the hours and practice.

You need to reach that point where you are not aiming with your cross hair anymore but shoot on reflexes.

I haven't played games in years but when I did and ran XP, I tweaked the code in regedit to optimize behavior.

Good ol' days when I dominated the Sniper Mayhem Server.
