Back when 2.8.5 was still around, there was a setting in your User.ini you could change to make your mouse movement more precise. You would change:
MouseX=Count bXAxis | Axis aMouseX Speed=2.0
MouseY=Count bYAxis | Axis aMouseY Speed=2.0
Into:
MouseX=Count bXAxis | Axis aMouseX Speed=1.0
MouseY=Count bYAxis | Axis aMouseY Speed=1.0
Currently, when you move your mouse in any direction, the game registers mouse movement in multiples of 2 pixels. This setting makes the game register movement pixel by pixel. This means that you have far more precision when aiming, especially for long-range, more control over recoil, and in general, the game feels a lot smoother. Unfortunately this setting doesn't work for 2.5 Assist, and changing it results you getting kicked for CVAR violations.
I suggest allowing this change in the next 2.5 update. After all, it doesn't make sense why 2 pixel mouse movement should be the default setting when it is necessarily more imprecise. I would even suggest that pixel-by-pixel movement should be the new default setting if it didn't throw off people's game so much (you have to increase mouse sensitivity to compensate for the decreased speed, and your mouse just "feels" different). So I think it should be a choice. Thoughts?
