Essence of the Heartbeat Sensor

The heartbeat sensor was entered into MW2 as kind of a Extra UAV. One of the downsides is that it is only Available on Assault Rifles, LMG's, and Snipers, so if you are a SMG kinda guy, you're outta luck.On the plus side It helps players figure out where enemies are without having to get the three kills. Skilled players will learn how to master the heartbeat Sensor in 1st Person, but thats not what I'm here to talk about.


In first person you see the dots on your screen and they go like,

Red Dot - Enemy
Green or Blue - Friendly.

This is used to help players effectively eliminate opponents close to them. It has a range of about 20m, so it wont help against far away enemies.It can also scan through a variety materials; walls, doors, tree lines etc. Now, it may confuse some people because, like the saying in Car Mirror's go, "Objects in view may be closer than they appear". It also doesn't tell you whether your adversary is upstairs or down, so that is left up to you to figure it out. The HB Sensor has a 45 Degree angle.


Ok, so here's the part you've all been waiting for. In first person Sight is the key to mastering the HB Sensor, so what, you may ask, is the Secret to mastering it in 3rd Person? Hearing! That's right, you have to be a good listener to use it effectively in 3rd Person. Far enough away enemies will make your HB Sensor Produce a Low beep, while close Opponents will make it produce a Very High Pitched whine. A lot of opponents may not know this, so use this to your advantage. Also, you are able to hear the enemies' HB Sensor, so that can be something to help you.


Here are some tactics i've came up with for the HB Sensor in 3rd Person

1. "The Bunker Hill" All you have to do is take the higher ground and wait for them to come (Note:Only use this if the Pitch is getting higher, because if it is getting lower they are leaving and you will be doing this for nothing.)

2 "The Sneak" Sneak around the building or area you are in and try to see if you can spot them.

3 "The Madman" Go to the Room you think they are in and Start spraying like a madman (NOTE: This will only work if you definitely know what room they are in.)

4 "The Hunter" I named it the Hunter because the key to this Strategy is Crouching (Like the Hunter in LFD) And quickly searching rooms. When you find them then you Pounce (Hunter's signature attack in LFD)

Very, very nice. First weapon oriented guide and I'm very impressed. Learned some things that I didn't know, know some things that I didn't learn, everybody comes out ahead in this case.

Thank you. It is also my first Guide, so if i'm encouraged enough i might make more.

nice start on a n interesting topic, couple of suggestions though:

• putting 15 - 20 "I guess" in a guide doesn't really make me want to believe you on any other facts you say. Go and test it with a buddy, it'll take 2 mins. For refference a container in COD game is exactly 12.5m long. (IIRC. Den Kirson will tell you the real answer)
• What sort of angle does the heartbeat sensor cover? again do some testing to see. For refference your screen, when in third person, covers an angle of 65 degrees.
• May want to include how to unlock the heartbeat sensor, just for completion's sake
• Few spelling mistake but hey w/e I'm guessing no-one else is particularly bothered about that.

But yeah it's not a bad start, it's just a bit thin, I reckon you could write loads more about tactics and info on the actual attachment though.

I'd be interested to see a source, as ever, or know where you got that from.


Oh, how long does it take to refresh [the heartbeat sensor]?

I LOVE the HB sensor.

I never use it though.
I use Ninja Pro.

Ninja pro owns anyone who uses the HB sensor. Mainly because most people who use it are so focused on it. As you said, it's kind of like a UAV. When I have Cold-Blooded on and the enemy have a UAV, sometimes people walk right by me.

Anyways, I used the HB a few times, but I had Bling (for silencer), Cold Blooded and Ninja Pro on. I don't like it though. I'd rather keep my marathon, cold blooded/stopping power, ninja pro class, where I can simply own most people who use HB sensors.

Or I stay far and snipe.

I've wondered this.

I would say its around 3 seconds, but when you against an opponent at close range it seems to take forever to refresh.

I think it depends on whether u are moving or not, but i havent verified this.

This could be based purely on your perception though, you might want it to sweep again because you're fixated on it, but you think its moving slower.

I hate the heartbeat sensor, everytime I get killed by someone using it, he's hiding in a corner until he sees the red dot then he comes out of his cave.

Nice, basic guide! I really found the section about using the heartbeat sensor in 3rd person game modes very helpful.

The only problem with the heartbeat sensor is that you begin to heavily rely on it when Ninja will simply slaughter you. I've noticed that when I use my Tar HBS my K/D begins to drop and I pay less attention to my surroundings and more to that little screen.

ThanatosRising

If this starts to happen, try to only look at the heartbeat sensor when you hear it beep. I used to depend on my heartbeat sensor too much, so I decided to only look at it when I hear it start to beep and it has really made a difference.
