Not Just For Snipers
I bought this mouse to play Battlefield 3 on my new gaming rig. What struck me first about this mouse was the size of it. It is quite literally a "honking big" mouse. This really threw me at first. I've had a lot of different mice down through the years and this was by far the biggest. At first I really even doubted if I could play with it, but surprisingly after a few hours I adjusted to the size. I also found my game improving as I adapted to the ability to change DPI on the fly. I primarily use LMG in games play. I'm not a sniper, I loathe snipers in FPS games. So even though I was using this for LMGs I found it a great advantage to go from high DPI in close quarters to lower DPI over medium/long distances. It truly feels like an unfair edge in game play. Of course programmable buttons are great and I keyed these up to my knife attack and grenade throw. I found even outside of game play, when browsing or doing graphic design, that the ability to adjust the DPI was beneficial. I'm currently using a Razer Naga, because I've playing a lot of MMOs. The Razer's more comfortable and ergonomic, but I find myself missing the DPI control I had with the MW2 mouse. It's a tough choice between the two, but I'd say if you primarily play FPSs then the MW2 mouse should be your choice, unless you have very tiny hands.
