Over at the TeamXbox Forums, someone put together a tutorial on how to improve the Perfect Dark Zero play experience for those who just can’t get away from playing the game like Halo 2:

I’ve seen that I wasn’t one having problems with aiming in PDZ, theres been at least 2-3 threads a day popping up about the aiming system, with even more negative responses in it, some people even say they hate the game because of it. Most people adjust the sensitivity and give up when they still can’t aim, I’ve experimented and experimented and found settings that make the game much easier to play, and when it’s easier, of course it’s more fun.

If you set your profile up like this, you’ll notice you get way more headshot kills, and kills period.

Profile Options > Controls

Basics:

* Control Style: Standard

* Auto Aim Style: On or Off, doesn’t make much of a difference, in this game if the small crosshair is over an opponent, the shot is going to hit.

* Sensitivity: 75-100 seem to be the best.

* Invert Y: Up to you.

The most important part:

* X/Y Sensitivity: Off - Most console FPS have Y Slower than X as default, but in PDZ they decided to make it so the X and Y axis are the same speed, it may sound silly, but this makes a HUGE difference when changed.

* Y Sensitivity: 45-60 - The Higher your X is, adjust it appropriatly with the Y. This is where you’ll be getting more headshots.

* Fast Look: OFF - Fast Look is a stupid feature. Basically when you push your analog stick all the way in ANY direction, it will spin you around in less than a second, making precise aiming almost impossible.

Optional:

Options > Game Setup

* Camera Bob: Off, Camera Bob is annoying to me, but it won’t really affect your aiming too much.

After I changed these options, this game is almost as fluid as Halo now, the only thing I can’t fix is the Zoom Sensitivity.
