Anyone played BF3 then gone to COD and had to turn their DPI up?

I know weird question but i have been playing nothing but BF3 since release!
I have a Cyborg Rat 5 mouse which you can program 4 dpis on the fly, well when i 1st got it i thought 500dpi was fast

, then i put my lowest setting to 1000dpi and got use to that.
Well i bought Black Ops 2 on release and yes i thought it was crap,and never played it, anyway the last week i have been playing it and not BF3 i am getting not bad at it.
Went back to BF3 today and 1000 dpi seems so slow had to knock it up to the next level which is 1500 dpi :eek:

Anyone else had where they have come from a fast game back to a slower one and found it to be to slow?

I have my mouse on 400dpi and the slider down to about 15-20% in BF3. I can't deal with too high sensitivity, I just end up missing stuff from moving too far. Also in BO2 I have the sensitivity down really low.

I use the same for all FPS games.

If your using Windows 7 or 8 you might want to try markc's windows 7/8 mouse fix - it will change the feel of the mouse a lot but gives a lot better control over fast mouse movement (might not be for everyone tho).

Ok thanks yeah probably best to adjust sensitivity in game,just that COD is such a fast game

Just to confirm I've installed that fix for Windows 7 do I disable or enable enhance pointer precision?

I've always disabled enhanced pointer precision for gaming - on faster mouse moves it tends to add an unpredictable level of acceleration.

Used to have this problem going between BF2 and COD4. BF2 is a lot slower..

Same problem exists between BF3 and MW3 and DayZ, but I've just adapted to it now.

Nope.

I always find BF3 in general a lot easier after 2-3 rounds of BO2 its just the pace of the gameplay. But I also use 2200dpi in both games never felt the need to change it.
