i reinstalled h5 after almost a year, at which point i was so fed up with my inability to aim i had deleted the game. fast forward 1 year i thought going back to h5 to see if anything. changed. Istill cant hit -Yoink- with the pistol, what a disappointment. my kd in h5 is the worst its ever been in a halo game, ive tried every setting nothing works for me, im fighting my elite controller 100% of the time. case and point go play titanfall 2 the aiming is flawless, now go bak to h5, its a disaster for me. not fun… reducing auto aim benfited no one because it was applied across the board. the top players would have been the same if they never changed reduced auto aim. There is no other game out there wher i spend this much time crying over aiming, to me this is h5 greatest sin, fundamentaly changing something so critial when no one was complaining in the first place. to the players who say they dont have any problem and got used to it, i have over 2000 games played i should have got used to it by now, but sadly no, h5 is the only game to frustrate me this way.
Play octagon

Get gud scrub ;), joking aside how high is your sensitivity. If it’s high in h5 you’re not going to beat those with 3-4 and custom sens. If it’s not, practice… practice practice. H5 had quite a huge learning curve compared to reach and 4.
dannngg you reinstalled 100GB’s of a=data
The aiming has been an issue since launch. It’s very inconsistent and I’ve gone through a variety of setups from sensitivity, dead zones, acceleration, etc etc. it’s just a flaw with how 343 set it up, they’ve updated the aiming through patches but really they haven’t helped. It’s quite amazing how one can mess up something that worked so well in the past yet they saw the need to change it regardless.
I’d say tweak around with your sens, maybe change up the vertical/horizontal sens

Funny thing is I can’t hit a thing with default 3-4 but I do ok with a higher custom setting.
I have no problem with it… In all seriousness have you ever considered the possibility that you just aren’t good enough? The low aim assist means that you just cant aim well. Titanfall 2 may feel better because the aim assist is way higher. I’m not trying to attack you or anything but I was just curious of you have ever considered that that was a possibility. I mean the problems with aiming are mainly due to heavy aiming and not the actual aim system. I fell like a lot of people just think the aim system is bad because of the reduced aim assist.

I agree. It takes me a very long time for my aim in halo 5 to become consistent after a few weeks off. In other games, it only takes a match or two AT MOST to be consistent in regard to aim.
Messing with sensitivities, acceleration and dead zones, while helpful for fine tuning controller issues or individual preferences will not fix the parts of the aiming mechanisms that are fundamentally broken. For arguments sake, set aside the server problems, varied latency, lag compensation, and connection based controller input issues that make the game unplayable. Just look at the mechanics of the aim acceleration. I feel like most players still don’t quit understand how impossible 343 made the aiming in this particular game. These two links show how bad it is: Random 2.34 x Velocity Jump and this video representation: Unpegged Velocity Jump . I can’t speak for the people who say that they have no issues with the aiming, because the issue is right there for everyone to see. They are either way more skilled than most of us or have played enough endless hours of H5 to ingrain the precise inconsistencies of the aim in their muscle memory, or both. Or maybe they just don’t play at all.
OP, I’d recommend like others to tweak your sensitivity and see if you can get used to it for a while. Think mine is at a 5, but sometimes I’ll drop it to 4 if I’m having trouble aiming that day. I’ve also experienced times where I felt like the aiming is inconsistent, just seems to be the way it is. Like one game I’ll hit everything in sight like I have a canon, but the next game I can’t hit anything to save my life. Patience and persistence pays off, but if you can’t have fun with it then it’s not worth it in my opinion.

Especially since it felt pretty good in the Beta…

i went from a 1.3 kd average or 1.25 in older halo to maybe 1.0 in h5, not being good enough is quite possibly the worst way to talk about the issue and only serves as a means for you to show off like you have no problem at all, maybe stay away from threads like these if all your going to do is antagonise. at least you are honest enough to recognize that there is an issue with the aiming. in other words you just called out a healty portion of players who complained about the heavy aim not good enough, really? i never called myself great, but im fighting something here in regards to the aiming that outside my control, like it seems many. others. there is aproblem here,lets leave it at. that and keep out player skill out of it, for crying out loud ive seen threads where killers with a 2.0 kd expressed their discontent with the aiming…i had a friend tell me all his aiming problems went away after he bought a pc monitor, he went from being bad like 0.5 kd to being positive 1.5 to 2.0 kd every game. i dont have the luxury to try that out myself. ive never been bad at a halo game, h5 something is wrong
Get good
Change your aiming in the settings, although I think they did something to the aiming system in the December update.
Mess around with your controller layouts, sensitivity, and dead zones. Eventually, you’ll find a style that suits you the most. As for me, I play on the absolute highest possible sensitivity settings across all gamemodes. It’s very challenging to handle, but you’ll be winning tons of gunfights once you can tame the quick aim speed.
Killionaires in Grifball / Infection are an absolute breeze, but I’m still very deadly as a sniper.

I’m not antagonising and nor am I boasting. I busted simply asked if you had ever considered the possibility. I am quite certain a lot of players who are just bad at aiming in the game will blame it on the aiming system which is where my question was from. I’m still sticking to my guns on this though. While aiming may be a problem for some and a slight problem for others such as pros (when I say slight i understand that slight is a big deal in the pro circuit) I refuse to believe that it is bad enough to make you just horrible at aiming. You still haven’t provided any reasons behind why you think its the aiming and not just you. All you have said is it doesn’t feel right. Maybe it doesn’t feel right because you dont have the control. Just because you are good at old halos it does not mean you will be good at this one (although it definitely helps). You also haven’t put in the resources or time (I know that it is out of your control) to troubleshoot your issue accurately which also leads me to the conclusion that it may not be the aim mechanics. It is also evident to me that you have not considered your skill in all of this. Like I said I’m not trying to antagonise or attack you but your post just leads me to the conclusion that you are either blaming it on the mechanics or blaming it on the mechanics before of other reasons you have not yet explored.
Dude the elite controller is pretty much useless until you get used to it. The paddles so far are just more controls that you need to figure out and everything is on a fricking HAIR TRIGGER!! Just don’t use that thing until you get used to it. Use it on campaign against AI which are a little more forgiving than real people, but if you play multiplayer before then just use old faithful (controller that came with the Xbox console)
- Capitalization - Git gud scrub - Two different games means two different aiming mechanics - Git gud
I just watched your only Halo 5 game clip. There’s not much to go off of, but one thing I’d say is that you aren’t leading your reticle.
By that I mean you should actively be aiming where you expect people to be, rather than leaving your reticle where it is until you see someone.
You’ve gone high Onyx in slayer before, so clearly you aren’t as bad as you seem to think.
