to start, i have 1: whats the best sensitivity to use in the Multiplayer??

[Massive Berry]

That's an opinion. I use a bit higher than the default.

Agreed, opinion, I like to move fast because I know exactly where I get shot from, so I have mine on 7, but some people like to "aim" slower, so it's lower

EDIT: thought this was MW3 thread, lmao


So to actually reply. I like mine slightly higher than standard, not too fast, because this game is more realistic than MW3

7 or 8 (I think its out of 10? Quite far up on teh scrolly bar anyway)

It still pays to have a high Sensitivity especially when playing TDM.

As everyone has said, it's a matter of personal taste and way of playing, anatomy, etc.

I use it in the highest sensitivity because this way I have more room for more accurate movements, I learned to make super little and slow movements with the sticks in a way that it helps me to follow moving targets better at a distance, and also I can react faster to close encounters.

I never touch settings in any game... So default for me

I have a question.

Can the Thermal Optics see through a wall of concrete? It happens to me yesterday at Grand Bazaar. The LAV was driving around the corner from A to C, I was hiding in a building to get him past me, but he stopped and just shot the wall. Then he came out of his LAV and shot me dead

There was no way he could see me, I was in the building before he got around the corner...

I'm 99% certain that the Thermal Optics can't see through obstructions. The likely situation that caught you was a member of the IFV's team had you marked and he saw it long enough to know (or guess) where you were. Another possibility is that for whatever reason, he just decided to stop and blow up the bldg. Not all that unlikely as I've seen people do some completely random/unnessesary things in this game when a certain degree of stealth should be kept. Maybe he thought by taking out the structure he'd be wrecking possible cover for someone else later.

With that said, you probably know that anytime you hit an enemy your aiming reticule changes slightly to show you hit an enemy unit or vehicle. If he damaged you when destroying your hideout and didn't kill you then he knew there was an enemy inside and decided to try you on foot.

[Wadloper]

Could be, but this happened just after the round started. Everyone was capturing his flag (A and C). I didn't see a enemy or wasn't shot at. The building is on the right side of the road from the russian spawn to A (the road with debris and a passage to B).
He didn't hit me, there was no health going down. The only possibility I can think of, was that a MAV spotted me. But there was no sound of a MAV, because the MAV can't fly high in Grand Bazaar.

He could of had proximity scan on or you were spotted.

Anyways my question is : Does having the grenade launcher on the underslung have the same effect as a foregrip? I've tried it and I noticed that there wasn't any difference. Does anyone else notice anything?
