why is looking up slower than looking left and right in new fps? ive noticed this in cod 4, ut3, bioshock, bf2: modern combat, but the worst has to be bad company. it wasnt always like this, halo 3 look speed for looking up is about the same.
Hmmm, I haven't noticed this, but sometimes the sensitivity for X and Y axis movement is separate in the settings, so check the options menu - the default might have them set at different speeds.
I haven't noticed this, but in most newer FPS's there will often be separate speed settings for the X and Y axis' in the options. So if it bothers you, try fiddling around with this, it may also be the cause.
They're starting to add a realistic feel to your character make it as close to the real thing. Anyways in combat you want to keep your head down so that explains it.

Very true about the head down thing. But I still never noticed this before.

You'll notice it right away when you play Bad Company, even when you sprint. A lot of people hate it, but I think it's a good change.

I mever tried Bad Company. I heard it was a mix of CoD4 and Frontlines: Fuel of War, so it didn't really interest me because it sounded like yet another clone >_>
I think I know what you mean by the head thing, but it doesn't bother me. You try lugging around about a hundred pounds worth of weaponry and miscellaneous equipment into a battlefield, and you tell me how easy it is to whip your head up and down--whilst being shot at it, no less.

what? one of the games im thinking of is ut3, which makes no attempt at realism, besides the presence of gravity and dismemberment. maybe its just because im using an sdtv...
Your controller could just be messed up. In most games you can adjust the look sensitivity, which I usually do. My look sensitivity in Halo 3 is 9, and I think COD4 is on 8. It helps a lot for multiplayer for your reaction time to people shooting at you.

Sometimes in competitive PC gaming, players will write a script to have this effect as well. It makes it easier to keep your aim at headshot level. If the map is mostly level ground, it helps a lot.
I like it better that way. Unless people are jumping and flying, you don't have to look up that much. In some games when you turn, it starts off slow and then speeds up, but when you look up or down it just stops when you look up or down too far and never gets a chance to speed up.
its because in the game your enemies are generally on an even plain with u so having ur aim twiching up and down would just get enoying, especially on the controller where your aim movement isn't as precise as on a mouse and keyboard. Its set to defualt like that on most console shooters ive played, but most of them also let u change it.

If anything Call of Duty 4 is a clone of Battlefield 2.....
Even if yall haven't noticed it, he's correct. I don't know why but I know he's right... it could be that the gun weighs more against gravity when you're lifting it & it could be because you need it to be more sensitive when moving on the Y axis so it's slower for more precision.

Noticed it in BF:BC, but not in any other game... hmm... interesting, thanks for pointing that out, maybe now ReTarDedFisHy has another thing to complain about.
