Just saw this video on the strength of aim assist. For someone who has been a long time PC gamer, is there no way to have the option to not matchmake with those that are using aim-assist?

What aim assist???

Personally I play with a controller on console and think the aim assist is just broken compared to other halos. I cannot nail down my aiming in this game, controls feel squirrelly to me.

This video shows a good comparison. When I seen this video, I am stunned at the amount of people saying controller has advantage and aim assist is OP.

You can set it to queue only controller/mouse players in Ranked. Not sure why that option is not available in other playlists.
Now excuse me, while I go ice my hand after the stress is took from using controller on lower-than-normal aim assist.
This isn’t true. Aim assist been here since before N64 I’m pretty sure. It’s very difficult to place the reticule where you want using only a thumb and a joystick. So it has nothing to do with whether PC gamers have an advantage or not.
They may have tried to balance aim-assist with mouse/keyboard cause the aim assist seems off at times and is more difficult on controller than past Halos. The trick is that while you make aiming balanced you must also maintain a controller player’s ability to move their reticule on their target consistently enough… so it’s fun
The aim assist isn’t the problem. It’s the bullet magnetism or the lack of it for m&K.
They either need to give m&K some magnetism or decrease the bloom on weapons like the AR.
However i don’t think this is going to happen, they clearly have no intention to cater to m&k the game is set up to favor controller in every way
Magnetism is the same for both inputs as far as I’m aware.
The only weapon with High magnetism is the BR. The Commando, Stalker Rifle, and Sniper have practically nonexistent magnetism even on controller. The Sniper and Stalker Rifle, you have to be right on the mark to hit them. This is a big change from 5 and even 3, which had very obvious magnetism.
People should definitely watch Aozolai more.

Interesting… have you tried playing with the exponential curve on your aiming stick? I found a nice setting where I only turn fast when the stick is fully pushed, the rest of the time my aim is very easy to control in the centre. Takes some getting used to but when you do, every other game feels squirrely.
Not that I’d ever play multiplayer with a controller, I’m way better on a mouse regardless.
for years PC players have been on a high horse telling every console peasant M&K is the only way to play a game. now you’re all claiming you’ve been at a disadvantage this whole time because you get beat lmao
m&k has no magnetism but you are right the only things I notice it on are the BR and the AR.
I feel like console AR bloom doesn’t exist due to the magnetism.
M&K does have magnetism.

That video if from July an earlier build of the game, in my testing it doesn’t exist anymore.
The setting he disables at 5:08 “Enable Mouse Magnetism” does not exist anymore
I am not sure does it class you as KB/M with the controller on PC?
I know it was from an earlier build.
In fact, I went ahead an loaded up my game and went into the Weapon Drills myself just now. M&K still has magnetism.
The removal of that option doesn’t mean anything, since it’s kind of a dumb option anyway.
I’ll upload a YouTube video for you if you’d like. Or, better yet, just test it yourself.
I would be happy to be proven wrong.
If you could make an updated version comparing the I would appreciate the time and effort.
I don’t have the capabilities as I am m&k only
Here you go:

It is still the same even today. I made sure to also start Infinite without touching my controller to rule out any weird stuff possibly happening with inputs. I also went ahead and just tested off camera, restarting the game and completely unplugged my controller. Same results.
Magnetism is not stronger or weaker for either input as well. It’s exactly the same.
The best part is, now I have proof I can throw at other people who make this claim lol
On pc the aim assist works but not console.
My friend plays on the Series S and hasn’t complained about the lack of aim assist. The AA itself is wonky and sometimes just turns off, even on PC.
Just to give a different perspective from your friend, I play on Series S and there is very little to no aim assist. I’m playing from Asia though, and I suspect that latency just causes it to shut off.
