After grinding it out to diamond and starting to significantly lose all of my 1v1’s to someone who can strafe burst me while simultaneously spanking their ham, I’m going to swap to controller.
The aim assist advantage is ridiculous. I would have thought you’d learn from KBM’s state during the entirety of MCC. I guess not.
Actually feels bad man. Really disappointed.
There is a lot if people who would say MnK is MUCH better
MnK say controller has advantage, players who use controller saying MnK is better.
Grass looks greener on the other side is what I deduced this argument down to.
Be interested to see the actual stats of the controller vs mouse and keyboard situation.
My bet is that you start using controller (which I doubt you’ll actually do) and find that it isn’t actually that advantageous. Yeah you might do better close range with the pistol or whatever on controller… but I guarantee you will feel like you are getting laser beamed with the commando and pistol cross map. The aim assist only really makes a big difference close quarters. Long range you are much better of mnk. Just look at team snipers in MCC etc. That’s a joke of a playlist for controller players thanks to mnk.
While this is indeed true, consider that most of the fights in ranked are gonna take place within the optimal range of the Controller’s Aim Assist, and considering Ranked is also BR Starts, it means that 90% of the fights are gonna be BR vs BR. if you are not 4SKing consistently passed a certain rank, you lose, end of story… and this is something that is incredibly difficult to do up close with K&M due to the lack of auto tracking and how effective it is to strafe so quickly back and forth…
Thankfully there is at least separate ranked playlists for controller, K&M or mixed lobbies, so you will have to get good with K&M if you want to onyx one of the ranked playlists (unless the matchmaker doesn’t work at all with this filter, since we can no longer see what control scheme people are using in lobbies, it’s hard to say if it is tbh…)
Definitely give it a try, but you might want to hold off deleting your PC version of Infinite.
Translation:
I worked my way up ranked matches until I started matching against people at my skill level or slightly better, so I can’t win consistently anymore. Even though that’s precisely how ranked matchmaking should work, I’m mad.
Nice knee jerk response. Sorry to say, but no.
Here’s your translation: I have nothing of value to add to this conversation, so I dismiss OP’s ideas with some smartass response.
Literally the thread above this says controller sucks.
this forum is in a constant state of " the other input system has an advantage and heres why"
news flash , it sucks on controller too , the response curve of this game is AWFUL and theres no way to change it other then tweaking dead zones which is only bandaiding the issue . landing shots is never consistent
Strafes are a lot harder on gamepad than kb/mouse also if you was on KB/MOUSE that means u was playing “Open cross play”.
Strafing with a joystick is slower and not only that. The gamepads are a lot more fragile than a Keyboard, if you abuse too much of strafes on “controller” you may need remplace that every 3 months or less. I dont think is fun pay 80 USD so dam often.
Just FYI strafing is a huge +1 in the mnk column. Strafing as effectively as a keyboard player on a gamepad takes a lot of effort.
Admittingly close range BR probably does take less skill on a gamepad than mnk, but this halo probably has the BR that is the most difficult to use close range.
Overall though as you say the point is moot because BR starts are only in ranked… in which you are welcome to select mnk only.
This means that the people that are whinging are referring to social. Which is BS because once you leave the 5m radius that gives a controller advantage mnk takes over as being both better at strafing and aiming in general.
But yeah overall 343 just need to give people the choice to choose what they want. The population is high enough where is the match composer that was in MCC. Just let people choose what they want… so the aim assist bashing can stop and people can live in peace in either a crossplay or non crossplay environment. I’m sick of the mnk players crying over aim assist.
you literally move your left thumb with controller and aim assist tracks for you. Strafing with autoaim is beyond easy and requires zero effort.
Mechanical key strafing is alot easier then moving a joy stick left and right, you know how hard it is to hit someone alternating A, S, A, S, A, S. KnM destroys controllers anyday.
I wish they just kept halo xbox and controller exclusive even if just a year
If you’re playing quickplay and ranked, close to mid range is 100% of your engagements
Good luck switching to a controller. Theres no push to talk button for your mic so u have to use a keyboard key instead. Unbelievable they dont have an option to bind it to ur controller, an open mic is super noisy and everyone can hear my game in background.
You mean kinda like you just did?
If you need to buy a new controller after 3 months because of “strafing” with your thumbsticks, you need to stop buying 5$ controllers from Chinese sweatshops. You are literally the only one with this issue lmao
At this point, the only people I m willing to trust are those who actively play multiple games with both controller and KBM.
Controller players say it favors KBM, and KBM players say it favors controller. I’m starting to think a lot of people on here just assume they’re better than they really are.
I feel like there’s speculation on both sides, but I’m willing to bet 343 are combing through meta data as it comes in.
There’s no reason for 343 to ignore an issue if it exists, but also no reason for them to rush to a correction until they’ve done their research. It’s only been a few days
