Confession of a n00b!

Oh dear god

I really hate the word noob, and i rarely use it. Yesterday however, i had a rude awakening and an experience that proved, without a doubt, that i fit this category and i came to the realisation that I'm not only a noob but ;

I'm the biggest noob i know.

First let me assure you;

• I play FPS games since Wolf3d, so i have over 22!!!F-ing years of FPS experience meaning i was playing FPS games when many of you were still liquid! 
• Had many clans in Unreal tournament, quake3, Tactical ops, Halflife, Turok, Kingpin, RTCW, RTCW:ET, SOF2, Delta Force (several) and Call of duty 1+2.
• I was able to win certain maps in UT Assault mode without even leaving my spawn. 
• I have been messing with any in game setting i could find my hands on. In every game i played. (I'm the reason the Call of duty 1 quick message menu could no longer be customised because i I made a mod called quickmassage that offered a crosshair ;) )
• I have more then 1000 hours experience in CW. 
• I have been advising people on how to do stuff.

but then...

I was thinking, why do people do so well with a noveske without aiming down the collimator. Even at range. So i equipped my novvy and tried.. tried and sucked at it.
Then i started comparing ADS/NON ADS/ADS/NON ADS and it seems i fail and fail and fail when not Aiming down the sights. So, i started to take a close look at the differences between the collimator and NO-ADS and guess what?
After more then 1000 hours of playing this game, this so called FPS "veteran" found that the mousesensitivity in collimator mode is lower and thus allowing you to aim more accurately.

Then, i got this neato logitech g600 mouse with adjustable dpi switch and i chose the lowest programmed DPI mode. and guess what?
It took me 1 death and 20 kills without ADS to prokill for the first time.

So what purpose does this post have besides proving i'm just a big old noob and you should never take any advice from me?
The other thing, if you yourself have trouble performing without use of collimators or even noscoping then you may want to try and lower the DPI on your mouse, or lower the mousesensitivity in the game.

I learned 2 valueble lessons today :

1: You are never to old/experienced/skilled or whatever to learn new stuff.
2: Mousesensitivity is so important that reviewing it is probably worthwhile even if you think you are doing okay!

Ogry out, 

PS, plz dont inform my buddies in OhMy, bcuz out of shame i will keep this a secret for them. ehh wait... did i say that out loud?
