Help with gameplay rehabilitation

[anxiousinfusion]

I just got into PC gaming after building a computer this year. But after playing a few FPS games I realize how awful I am with a mouse and keyboard. I've been playing a little every day in Crysis 2, F.E.A.R. Combat, Call of Duty 1 and Halo CE to try and relearn the ropes. Is there a method anyone can recommend to adjust myself?

The mouse is way better for sniping, but stinks for run n' gun. Mess with the sensitivity settings until you find something that lets you turn quickly but have good accuracy.

Practice makes perfect.

I've always shied away from sniping in shooters. I normally find characters/weapons/settings that let me take alot of flak. Mostly I find myself having trouble with aiming and melee'ing on PC.

you could use an xbox controller if you find that easier

Practice....you will get it!

Try lowering mouse sensitivity as much as you can get away with, while still being able to turn around fairly quickly. This will basically "smooth" your aim and keep you from being so jumpy while trying to sight a target.

For God's sake don't use a controller - a kb/m is superior in every possible way in FPS, just learn to use it. You'll be glad you did.
