Beause it is dependant on your windows settings.

It's also dependant on the mouse you use and how sensitive it is to movement.

There are more things that affect it though. Like what mouse your using. I also know wether you have Vsync on or off makes a difference.

Vertical sync is a horrible idea for ESF because it places a very small but very noticeable delay on your movements as your video card redraws those extra frames to make sure nothing is tearing.

Also, if you want to get technical, the size of your hand and the flexibility of your wrist, along with the sheer size of your mousepad and whether or not you have a corded versus an optical mouse all affect your sensitivity. There is also a function inside of windows that determines how many signals it will recieve from your mouse at any given time, and with the proper utilities located off of the internet, you can increase said reception (similar to increasing your monitor's refresh rate) to improve response time. It's also impacted by your natural hand eye coordination.

Just got out my mate's kensington mouse that he left over here. It's more sensitive to movement I can say, and ingame I can turn angle better with it then my older mouse. I also decided to put my mouse speed down to something lower instead of 90 & beyond, down to 26 - 30 area. I will change it when I trans to 30, and play normal at 26, it seems to work much better that way.

Right now, my mouse sensitivity is on 20, but everyone thinks I play with 80 because I wiggle the mouse around all the time.

And THAT explains why you always miss! ( :laff: j/k)

I'm at 50 right now, but it still feels a bit too slow, will probably raise it in a bit.

Also, in the process of changing around my controls. As-if anyone cared.

I now play on a Logitech MX510 via usb on med acceleration & ingame sensitvity of 18.6. It's a lot easier to play with now due to a better mouse, all my older mice were crap.

I'm actually thinking about going back to 80 like I use to play with. I even did good against some people that I usally suck against when I was playing with 80 sensitivity.
