It can be useful for both, also for drag scoping. But I say play on whatever you feel comfortable with. No point bumping your sensitivity to something ridiculous if you're not comfortable with it.

i play on 4 and turn on people just fine id say 80% of the players that i come across who have thier senseitivty on 10 over aim and have no control over the crosshairs and i can basically hit mny shots so by the time you react you're dead 10 senseitivity is seen as the cool thing like quickscoping, dropshoting. i dropshot when i need to i quickscope when i need to players that do it make laugh so hard they go for the montage kill evertime and i does not always work. any good pro player will tell you the lower your senseitivity the better your aim but its all down to preferance

I thought it was for checking corners faster. Like for example you go into a room and there's a corner to the left and to the right. If you play at a low sensitivity and say you check the left corner, someone in the right corner will kill you before you can turn around.

A higher sensitivity is better for both, for turning around to kill someone and for checking corners faster. You can get to a 4 sensitivity on Xbox or 6 on PS3 without having to practice too much; this should be more than adequate to turn & kill and also to check corners without sacrificing aim accuracy.

Of course, if you can get used to a 10 sensitivity AND still maintain your aiming accuracy, then that would be the ultimate goal. (I feel it's easier on the PS3.)

Just don't let your ego get in the way.

I definitely miss Combat Training in Black Ops for getting used to higher sensitivity levels; Spec Ops Survival doesn't work remotely as well for this, in my opinion.

8 sensi with kontrol freeks = best of both worlds

Honestly it doesn't matter a whole lot. Most players play at a rather low sensitivity. Playing on a high sensitivity only gives you an advantage once you are used to it. The controler also plays a big part on higher sensitivity. If my main controler runs out of juice i have a hell of a time keeping up on my other one because the joy stick is just a tab bit tighter.

Reason I like the higher sensitivity is because when ever i look around the screen i always move my cross hairs where my eyes are. If i'm lookin in a window, my cross hairs are there. If i notice something out of the corner of my eye i can instantly be locked on to it. If someone runs past me i can turn around and kill them before they even start to turn.

Also like you said it does help you check areas much quicker and help you not get caught off guard as much. But if you are not used to it you will overcompensate, miss targets, turn around too quickly and lose the target, and a lot of other things. Once you master it tho I really can't see going back to a lower sensitivity.

Well, high sensativities is just there to do things faster, like checking corners. Turn kills are A LOT easier with high sensativities. Turn kills is wha ti think of when som1 plays on 4+

Like 7 just feels right for me.

I actually had to turn the sensitivity up for MW3, as the first person to pull the trigger usually comes out on top.  In BLOPS, there was additional health to fall back on.
