I had recently heard of something called an "Ogre Twitch" but I have no idea what it means and can not find out by searching it on [url=http://www.yahoo.com]Yahoo![/url]...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SHADOWSTRIKE10 It's not just to warm up. It's also used to calibrate screen lag. Pro's are very adept at finding screen lag in their screens.

But you could do that by hitting Y and waiting for the animation of switch weapons. Calibrate? some of you kids must have usethecompletelywrongwordbecauseitsoundsimpressiveaphilia...you know, like necrophilia but different.

I suspect the reasoning of some of the people posting that it has no current use in Halo 3. Seeing as It does, and I've explained 2 very rational reasons as to why, I would venture out on a limb and they'd rather that their opponents not warm up or play with gear in optimal condition. Apparently, they need every advantage they can get, and likely then some. That's why the quote from the MLG forums sounds so pompous. They'd mislead their own on that off chance there's a lot of gunk in someone elses' controller, hoping it'd hive them a win. Hyper competitive ass wads.

the name came from the ogre twins in MLG

They do it to always keep their thumbs moving while they play... It's the Orge2/Saiyan twitch.
-
It's an action the Ogres used to do back in Halo 1 to recalibrate their control sticks.

they spin their analog around to get used to the senstivity, i do it also if i do not get a warm up
-
I actually think the Ogre twins watch so much meatspin before tournaments thier heads are spinning and the twitch is actually a residual effect of this. Thoughts?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Zhabre Its when your aiming at someones chest/upper body area and you kinda twitch and shoot them in the face it was easier to do when H3 just came out and now i find it a little more difficult but still possible to do , its because your bullets are kinda attracted to the head i suppose and when you twitch over there face for like 1/10 of a second and shoot insta dome pretty much.[/quote] That's NOT the Orge Twitch. It's the twitch after a player spaws and it's used throughout the game as well to jockey the thumb. It's one of those "placebo"s in Halo. It was used in Halo CE becuase it helped warm the finger up during play. Others started doing it and saying it works, so it works... I say it helps me as well, but there never had been any proof.

Habit? Lies. There is actual purpose to it, but it's mundane. By loosen sticks, I mean that they do tend to start to move rough or more difficult with extended play. Look under your's, see all that white dust? That's dead skin, and gathers up over time, can lead to less than optimal performance. There's nothing that gets recalibrated, even on original Xbox controllers, though the sticks did tend to give out after a while and develop a drift when not moved/held(haven't noticed it on my 360 wireless controllers yet..anyone?). "recalibrate" is a word people people use for it that have no idea what's going on, or who try to make it sound more technical than it is. It does not change the signals, or re-orient the magnetics or anything. It also helps orient the thumbs. Excessive camping and holding them in one specific position for a while can tighten up the thumb muscles, and it's also used to "warm up" as someone mentioned above. It's no different than doing stretches before running or whatever other sport. Crouch walking while holding the thumbstick down, for example, or holding your strafe thumb to the right for extended periods can lead to a tendency to do such things accidentally, and this stretch helps loosen all involved muscles.

People who do it in Halo 3 do it out of habit, or because they see other pros do it. Don't worry yourself over it because it has no effect whatsoever in Halo 3.

Where you twitch the right stick. I do it and its kind of addicting :)
