When you guys are playing shooting games do you prefer a high speedy sensitivity or a lower slower feel?

Personally I like it in between but sometimes when I jump from game to game it takes a few minutes to re-adjust and I get owned online

On consoles I (generally) lean towards between-medium-and-high to the highest possible sensitivity depending on the game,
Usually just "High" for games that use three levels of sensitivity.

For PC games, I think my sensitivity seems pretty low compared to other people. That's ignoring in-game sensitivity, as I turn that up sometimes; my mouse's system sensitivity must not be too high.
I have no trouble looking around as fast as I can think to on my own mouse, but when I use other people's mice I generally take a second to adjust.

Really? It makes sense I guess to get use to that kind of sensitivity so you can whip around fast for that headshot. But I find it really weird when playing the likes of Killzone and the sensitivity is too high. I guess its cos analog sticks aren't as maneuverable as a mouse. It will be interesting to see how PS move will affect the likes of games like this

I prefer low sensetivity, if only because I am a more tactical, peer-around corners and not the whip-around-every-few-seconds-lol-360-cross-map-headshot kinda guy.

Analog sticks don't stink, I'm just not the most precise person.

In shooters with heavy aim assist I prefer very high sensitivity for defence against getting flanked, but if there's little or no aim assist I usually prefer a notch above default.

In CS 1.6 I use a really low sens so my aim doesn't jerk all over the place. In others that dont really rely that much on precision I use a higher sens.

I prefer faster. Not twitch shooter fast, but pretty fast. I keep the DPI on my mouse at 1000 minimum for gaming and depending on the game adjust from there. This is the reason I have so much trouble playing console shooters is because I find them so slow for turning even with their sensitivity jacked up.
