I constantly change my mouse sensitivity depending on the mech I use and about FOV I tend to change it also from time to time but I feel I could avoid that if I could use different settings for different mechs. When I'm in my SS you can imagine that I like my FOV around the default setting and my sensitivity under 20.... At least that's how I play it because my reflexes tend to make my arm twich as if I was blocking some punch coming to my ribs so I need to put that muscle twich to the lowest to make some awesome impossible shots from time to time haha. But that is for my Sharp Shooter. So when I get in my infiltrator or Zerk (Toadster I call it) I need speed and a larger FOV. Though changing that mid-game sacrifices some important seconds when I try and adjust it.

In the end, with time, I kindda found a good in between for all my mechs but sometimes, I need to go and change it again.
I don't know how hard that would be to impliment. I don't think any other games feature this. I feel it's somewhat of an interesting suggestion?

practicing with the same mouse sense is critical to improving as a shooter

consistency is the beginning of everything when it comes to progress

fov to a lesser degree

i enjoy max fov cause it makes me feel like i can see more, turn faster, and switch targets faster... but its just a feeling

as for sensitivity etc thats all pretty tailor set per setup/person

 

ps: if you use a driver like steel series, you can easily map a button to change mouse profile on the fly, let alone all other properties on the fly and if your going this route, you should goto windows mouse and goto pointer options, set slider to 5th notch, then ingame disable mouse smooth, infact lower everything if you can still enjoy it that way and my mouse also is set at 20

however my mouse, poll rate is 500, with 900 cpi (drasticaly effects hawkens ingame sensitivity) oh and inside my HawkenEngine.ini i have bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE

MinSmoothedFrameRate=0
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=0
 
though i used to use different values with no negative effect, but this way i feel safest.
there are other guides teaching you to lower performance demands of hawken elsewhere which may help your input also, make all the textures look like garbage but framerate can be hundreds

I just recently learned that my microsoft intellipoint 3.0 (lol) is 400dpi and a logitech keyboard plastic style lol.
And the rest you're talking about I have no idea what it does haha but thanks.

finding a good sensitivity is a process

 

find a point to fix your crosshair to in the enviroment

 

dance and move to and fro, jumping and frolicking, all the while keeping your crosshair fixated on that point you chose earlier.

 

try to be honest with yourself and go no more sensitive than you can while consistently being able to have your cross hair remain on that point.

 

BUT BEFORE ALL THAT

 

remove acceleration
