Play with what works best. In this case, it’s controller, it just is.
Don’t worry, I’m sure the next rumored halo game, there will be no aim assist at all and the MNK players will be the only ones playing…cause you’ll have driven the rest of us to the nuthouse.
I understand what you’re saying about aim assist. I’m just saying it’s not to the degree you’re making it.
You can put up a decent fight with MnK, but your hands get tired. And when they do, you don’t have much of a leg to stand on compared to a controller user.
343 is fixing it, but nerfing aim assist isn’t the right way to go about it. It still won’t change the fact that controller players still get some form of assistance. It’s just how it is.
This is useful for both controller and M&K players, and explains a lot about the aiming and the misunderstanding/misconception of aim assist in Halo Infinite.
i have been playing with the controler since i start playing the halo game’s more and that was in the halo 3 day’s.
and i keep playing with the controler.
since with some type off Genre game’s its better to play on the xbox then on the PC and some are better to play on the pc then on the xbox.
take shooter and race game’s there are better to play on the xbox with the controler then on the pc with KBM.
and RPG game’s like halo wars are better to play on the pc with the KBM then with the controler.
so deal with it and not cry about it that the controler has aim assist since there need it to make it fair against KBM players more.
don’t know where you’re getting your stats from bud, but I’ve played more than 30hrs. Plus all the years of every single past Halo title. I have just as much experience as anyone else if not more and my voice matters no less than yours. Speaking of what I said…
I never said it wasn’t strong enough. I simply stated that it’s the lowest Aim Assist has been throughout the series.
So my suggestion for you is to stop trying to gatekeep and talk down to others while citing incorrect information. Not everyone has to be the top of ranked to understand how the game works.
Since there is a much larger player base for this game on the consoles. They’re most likely never going to tone down aim assist as it would more or less screw them over on their bigger platform.
As I’ve said in many other threads where someone thinks they’re better than everyone else who is a “casual”, doesn’t play 24/7, isn’t in the top 100 of Ranked or doesn’t play Rank. This GAME was made for everyone who wants to play and enjoy it in the way they wish. For some that means Campaign, others it’s only Multiplayer and maybe just a certain Game Type or Playlist.
“Pro” players are the minority out of the entire player base. “Pro” opinion is not more important or less important than anyone else. People need to understand that your Rank or hours played doesn’t matter when debating how you feel while experiencing the game. Everyone has valid input and should not be ignored when giving non-biased objective criticism.
English is hard, I get it. What is even harder is competing against a type of input that has assistance from the game to help players who cant get kills without the said assistance. When the assistance is really strong, it makes the game unplayable for those of us who choose to get kills without the assistance.
I know it’s your stats. I wouldn’t say you havve to betop rank for your opinion to be valid but I would expect you to not be so bad at the game. You are the player 343 is catering to and it makes me sick
I’m so sorry that you have decided that you’re the only one who can be right and that everyone in existence is wrong. Have fun with that point of view. Can’t imagine it’ll get you far. At least I take the time to consider someone else’s opinion and if I disagree I back it up with facts.
Here’s a little something to think about. If you need to be a high level player to know how the game works then how would’ve 343i been able to make this game? I can guarantee you that any 343i employee isn’t able to compete with a top 10 ranked player. That doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re doing. They freaking made this game that you’re trying to gatekeep because someone may not have the best stats.
You lied about your stats and now you’re making it seem you’re a good person. 343 made a great game and I would argue they do know what they are doing even though most people here would disagree with that. It’s not that I don’t listen to other points of view, you’re just a below average player who of course is going to think aim assist is weak. It’s not, you’re just bad. At the same time, you’re exactly the person 343 has catered to and as a result the community has left in droves. The game is dead but only takes a few working brain cells to aim on controller, congrats. Glad you can have legal aim bot and still feel like you’re struggling. That speaks to your abilities outside of the game, which makes me feel bad we are even having this discussion. I don’t mean to be disrespectful toward you, I’m frustrated at this situation.
Again, I’m a lifelong controller player. 20 years I’ve loved and played Halo on controller. It’s not like I don’t know what I’m talking about.
I never apologized for anything because I never said anything offensive or demeaning unlike you. I’ve also never lied about anything… unlike you as we can see from the above post.
if we talk about input then you need to understand good that each input has it strong and weak side.
if you play RPG game’s like halo wars on the xbox with a controler then is it what harder to play with.
play it on the PC with KBM then its more easyer to play with.
shooter game’s are easyer to play with a controler.
and what harder on the KBM
in this case more with a mouse you can move faster then with a controler so to make it fair there need aim assist to make it what fair against the mouse.
I’ve been playing the Halo games with a controller for 20 years myself and from what I can tell Infinities aim assist is slightly higher than Halo 5 but way lower than Halo 4 while it’s bullet magnetism is also a little lower. To me it feels like it works well with Infinite’s sprint and strafing mechanics.
The aim assist itself is actually about the same as it has always been with one exception.
In past Halo games, there was a generous radius around the enemy where you would get “aim assist” (your reticle sensitivity lowers to 66%, and the reticle moves in the same direction as your target at 50% of their movement speed).
The result was that the radius acted like a “focus zone” where your inputs became more deliberate, allowing you to actually move your reticle comfortably to the target, and “feel” which direction they were going for your own adjustments.
In Infinite the exact same system applies, except now instead of a radius it only happens when your reticle is already on target, and stops happening as soon as they exit your reticle completely.
The result is that the aim assist now feels like a lock-on more than a focus zone. Where before, even if your reticle was in front of the target it would pull in the direction they were moving, forcing you to pull your own reticle in on them. Now it just feels like it snaps on and off of them in a very jarring way while you’re trying to aim.
This actually makes it harder to aim on controller than ever before.
I’m a PC player that played Halos 1-Reach on Xbox when they all released but have been mouse for Halo games with MCC ever since. With the LSS event I felt obligated to switch back to a controller for the first time in over a decade, I was getting stomped by sidekicks in early game firefights when normally my aim is pretty decent. After finally getting myself used to the bumper jumper config, I find myself in the frustrating situation where half my games I don’t even have aim assist despite handicapping myself with a controller. I’ll start my game with my mouse and keyboard unplugged (this is already more effort than anyone should ever need to exert for a game) and a wireless controller synced to an official dongle, and I’ve even tried it plugged in, there’s still a 50% chance I don’t get any aim assist when I finally start playing. This is doubly frustrating when I’ve used a double XP token and I already wasted minutes of it matching up and loading in game.
Ideally I’d like to go back to MKB, as it’s been my preferred way to play for most of my years gaming, but if 343 isn’t prepared to make deep-rooted changes that the game needs to balance it towards that, then I’d at least like some consistency with my aim assist when I do play with a controller on my PC. This is frustrating at best and infurating at worst.
