The mouse acceleration (lookspring) is unbearable.. I like to move the mouse from target to target very quickly, and i end up doing circles unless I move it slowly. I even have the sensitivity turned all of the way down, and moving the mouse still makes me do a 180. There is no option to disable it, and there doesn't seem to be a config or console command to change it either. I'm severely disappointed. I shouldn't have gotten it for the pc. The 360 version is much better...

Really? I thought it was ok, well in comparison with bioshock that the aiming was weird as hell!

I would argue that all versions of FEAR 2 surely suck, but yeah, it obviously was developed for the ground up for the consoles and plopped on the PC without a lick of work to make it play properly on the hardware of the platform. I personally never experienced huge problems with the mouse acceleration, but it was very apparent that they used the analog stick input code for the mouse which made it feel very mucky and imprecise to move the camera around.

I didn't say that the sensitivity is too high. The acceleration is. I like to be able to snap onto my targets quickly with utmost precision. I play online alot, so I've gotten very good at moving the crosshair across the screen and landing it directly on someone's face....

Really? Move the mouse slowly. Then move it really fast, but only about an inch. The camera will spin in circles...

yeah see, my mouse moves in about a 1 inch box at all times, 1/2 up is top of screen, 1/2 down is bottom, i can move from one edge of the screen with only the tip of my thumb on one side and my ring finger on the other, and even then it doesn't move an inch.

I just don't like how the speed that you move the mouse affects the crosshair position so much. But everyone has their own preference. To each his own, eh? And I really wanted to vent about the fact that I feel like I wasted my money. Atleast I didn't pay full price though. And maybe Wal-Mart will let me exchange it for the 360 version if I tell them that I grabbed the wrong one by accident :)

How come you've played FEAR 2 so much?
