I don't even try. Why would I?

Someone told me COnfig C was great, switches the D-Pad and analogue basically. I just couldn't get used to it.

It's easy to say "I'll try it" but once you're used to something and your playing in the middle of battle, you'll switch to what your instinct knows.

If I'm circle strafing for a headshot I go in to FPV, move right to left using the D-Pad using my left index finger and use my thumb to use the analogue side to side.

i like using the analog cuz it gives you more freedom than the d-pad, but you have to customize your config to meet your specific needs

I know for a fact that using the Analogue to move in FPV and the D-Pad to move the camera (Which is Config C) IS better than the reverse (Which is Config A) because it's easier for strafing, once you have their head lined up it's harder to mess with alignment up. When I tried to use it, it was fat more accurate.

BUT

My point is once you're used to one, it's extremely hard to go to another.

Thats what I mean really, tryin to get my fingers round the PSP. I was just wondering if a different config would make it easier.

Yeah that's something I forgot.

If you haven't already; Go to Game Options, Options and adjust the First Person View Settings, and change the rotation speed to 10. It may take a while to get used to but it helps a lot.

circle strafing is the wrong term you're using

you mean normal strafing, circle strafing is something different and more advanced
