I wanted to express my opinion on this topic. I love Halo 5. All the new additions, especially in terms of gameplay - abilities, movement, modes, etc. Although there are a few things I would add like seeing our medals post carnage report, more playlists, etc my biggest request is that the aiming be made easier. I’ve never struggled so much to hit my target except for maybe Halo 3. When I play Halo 5 I miss over and over and when I go back to Halo 4 for instance I’m amazing. I LOVE Halo 4’s aiming. Yes, I know I can get used to it, but I feel strongly that I shouldn’t have to try to get used to aiming as much as trying to out smart my opponent. I’m just so frustrated missing shots over and over. I hadn’t gone into my halowaypoint account for the longest time until now just to express my opinion on this because I feel so strongly about it. I think making aiming easier will cause players to feel more powerful, have better stories, and just overall feel like they can be good and enjoy the game. I believe this is the main reason most people that don’t play video games like Halo or games actually don’t play. They don’t feel like they can be good at it or excel cuz they can’t even aim their weapon lol.
Anyway, those are my 2 cents. I humbly request that 343 make modifications to the aiming. I think it will make Halo 5 a much more enjoyable and rewarding experience.
I like your positivity, however Halo 4’s aiming was waaaaaay too easy. Everything else I agree with. A Halo Reach difficulty in aiming would suffice for me
Did the reticles in general get smaller or something? I’ve gotten used to aiming now but It still feels weird when I switch from MCC to H5. Also It might just be me but turn speed seems to change when switching from campaign to multiplayer.
I wouldn’t say aiming is too difficult , but the aiming mechanics are the main issues, like aim acceleration and deadzones, the beta had low aim assist and was difficult enough to aim, but they added the acceleration and messed with things that people liked. I like the low aim assist, but just tone down the deadzones and acceleration. I do really like the game other than that and the limited content.

> Game has a lot less aim assist, gotta relearn that muscle memory, this isn’t a 343i problem, this is a player problem. Practice.
the low aim assist is perfect, the beta and halo 5 had low aim assist, for me at least my issues stem from the deadzones+acceleration creating inconsistencies. with the aim acceleration my sensitivity is too slow for cqc and too high for medium-long range engagements. I don’t agree with OP on making it like halo 4’s aiming, just make it like the beta’s aiming was, i never heard anyone complain that aiming was too easy in the beta or in halo 3.
343 please don’t change anything about the aiming. I don’t want it to be like halo 4 and destiny where it’s so easy to aim you just need to be close and you will hit. The aiming you have now will actually have a skill gap. And that is a good thing
I wish Sniper Scopes were adjustable like the old games, where tapping LT would zoom in once, tapping again zooms in further, and then finally the last would return back to hip fire.
