Controller Aim assist is virtually non existent

This aim assist will be a huge problem for the casual community and seeing how this game will be free to play, the casuals will be in the majority. Only reason it is toned down is because PC players complained smh. Aiming does not feel good for me. I feel very average at the game which makes it not as fun. Give us back our regular aim assist from MCC and Pc players need to just deal with it. They are not affected while us controller players are. In fact I think MnK has aim assist as of now, I might be wrong but if its true that needs to be fixed. I can care less about the pros and tournaments. Halo needs to be fun and playable first!

The aim assist is indeed stupidly low. I hate it. That being said, it just needs to be 100% input-based. Controller players won’t have to deal with kbm’s ridiculously aim, especially with a sniper, and a kbm player won’t have to deal with our aim assist…well I say that, but we barely have any right now. But let’s imagine that we had a decent amount of aim assist. I never understood why people thought having different inputs face each other was a good idea. It’s horrible. Especially in the competitive scene

You talking about the Sidekick? You’re supposed to be quite close to use it I think.

Aim assist is alive and well in the weapons when at the right range. I’m mopping up on controller.

These posts are so polarizing.

I haven’t noticed any aim assist at all. I am using a controller on a pc though so not sure if that changes anything.

No idea someone else will have to confirm, I’m playing on XSX with FOV set to max and I’ve tinkered settings for sens but aim assist feels lovely. I know it’s more obvious on lower sensitivity and I’m on 3.5/2.5 which is pretty low but I’m in the 50%+ accuracy every game now.

That could be why, I play on 9 so maybe that’s why I can’t really tell

I agree, as I said in another post, I feel like it is the first time I am playing a FPS. There is no aim assist at all. I am an avid Destiny player and in this game there is aim assist and it shows. Halo is one game that need aim assist since it requires a lot more fire to kill an opponent.

While aim does need to be bumped on controller, you don’t have any proof or reason to blame players on the opposite platform.

So let’s not.

The only answer is to split the player base by input. Cater to both.

The only weapon I’m struggling with on controller anymore is when Im not scoped in with my commando.

I feel like it’s unscoped aim assist could use the tiniest bump. But other than that it feels pretty great now that I’ve had 2 weekends of practice.

The Skewer is the only other one I think of as particularly difficult to control, but that feels more by design than anything. It’s supposed to be clunky and unweildy.

They are using H5’s crappy aiming system so that’s why it feels so difficult and unrewarding to shoot. They will eventually offset this to some degree with increased aim assist and bullet magnetism like they did in H5. This however will not fix the underlying cause of a bad player experience.

The only solution I can see is to go back to classic aiming mechanics. I have never perceived anyone be against the original aiming style. It may be too late in development to change and 343’s pride probably wouldn’t allow it. What other choice is there? Keep patching this busted design for 12 seasons while the player base dwindles? I don’t mean to be too dramatic, but aiming is the most important part of a FPS Title. As it sits now it’s just not very fun.

Destiny is a bad comparison. That game has hand holding levels of aim assist.

Please don’t say PC players need to just deal with it, I’m controller on PC and it is awful for us too.

When they say PC, they probably mean M&K…

Almost certainly haha, just wanted to mark the distinction. And for what it’s worth, I do want M&K to feel good, there is no reason we can’t have both inputs feeling great, even if everyone just turns off cross input matchmaking.

The only weapon that feels like it has aim assist is the BR honestly

That’s literally the only logical and fair solution. I hope they will actually do this

Lets be real, the only reason they are trying to tweak it is because they want to balance it for cross platform and no other reason.

No. They want the game to feel good on every input. Why else would they set up a beta.
