I didn’t even realize default settings were that bad, which explains why I play like a bot.
What settings are you using for your controller now? I will copy it when I get home
As a K&M player first, I’ll tell you this: K&M players will come to a realization, either quit halo or adapt to controller. That’s it. That was my realization.
My realization came when I thought about CSGO. You don’t see any controller players complaining about having no aim assist in CSGO and if they went to the forums to ask for it, they’d be laughed and mocked right out of the game. You either play CSGO with a M&K or you don’t play it at all. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but it is what it is.

So, you’re much younger than me and have been playing FPS games for a shorter period, great. Also, the “PC Master Race” that you need to include in your flawed argument points to part of the issue. I play games on PC and console, controller and M&K. I have no need to make this a personal thing about platform. I’m also currently playing Infinite on controller on PC because even though I have fun on M&K controller is clearly the most advantageous way to play.
Let’s get back to the comments I originally addressed: “All of the Pros are on controller just because that’s what they have played for 20 years” and “The accuracy advantage isn’t a big deal it’s just that controller players have a skill gap advantage”.
There are literally long time Halo pros that are great on other games on M&K. They have tried both in Infinite and ended on using controller because the accuracy advantage IS 100% THAT BIG OF A DEAL. The idea that 15-20% advantage isn’t that big of a deal and it’s just skill gap is incredibly flawed. Especially when talking about what pros and top ranked players will choose to use. If you are a player who can use both, you have the same “skill gap” knowledge and understanding of the game no matter what you use for input. You will always choose the input method that gives you that big of an accuracy advantage when playing competitively. This is why all of the pros will be using controller right now.

Go search on YouTube for halo infinite controller settings, they discuss pretty in depth about what everything means, but it’s pretty bad……10.5 deadzone by default, a dead cat on the side of the road would have faster reflexes.
For now on both look and movement thumb sticks I have 0 deadzone, play around with acceleration to see what you like, some like 5 some like as high as 12. For sensitivity 6-8 seems about average as what most controller players like.
But it def makes a difference and makes it a lot more smooth and crisp. But apparently to KBM players that means I have legal aimbot……idiots

CSGO and Halo are 2 completely different types of games. And I agree with you the only way to play CSGO at the top level is on KBM. It’s a twitch shooter after all.
You’re right and you’re wrong. You can still have the best of both worlds by implementing input based matchmaking and cross play as well. My only issue here is people wanting the game to change for their own benefit, opposed to staying in their own lane
You make a good point and i agree, Halo has been console and will probably continue to be. Aim assist and bullet magnetism is just part of its core. Sorry KBM you’re just the new kid on the block. Game is built for controller.
LOL clearly these are cheats designed to help us win games, similar to wall hacks and aimbot.
Thanks I’ll check that out when I get home. I don’t have an issues going positive in any of the other Halo games but this one I struggle sometimes to go positive. I thought I was just not as good as this newer generation lmao
Yes, exactly. And, imo, most M&K players will just quit. Is that want 343 wants? Probably not, but it’s what they deserve.

I call cap on this, my personal experience and lifelong friends I’ve played halo with for years prefer KBM over controller. Even I prefer KBM over controller. Controller is way to slow and clunky for anything beyond medium engagements.
TTK matters more than accuracy in infinite, adding time to you life through movement and keeping players at range is going to give you the advantage over anyone.
Charging headfirst into the meat grinder life after life and blaming your loss on “those darn controller players” is childish and laughable. Why not admit that you just got outplayed by a player using the map, power weapons, movement, and teammates to there advantage instead of charging ahead alone, out into the open, and expecting to be able to play “good”.
This has nothing to do with the negligible aim assist in halo infinite and has everything to do with skill gap and getting outplayed. OP is using aim assist as an excuse for probably poor game sense.
This has been a controller and console dominated game for years because it was only on console. Therefore any player playing halo for years will have the advantage and outplay people time and time again

Boo hoo. You are not playing at a highly competitive level where the smallest amount of aim will make a difference. PC players have an issue with something called experience. Sure you’ve been playing MNK for 20 years but what games have given you experience for something like Halo? CSGO,COD,BF? None of these games give you the experience to know how to play the game. Reason why controller players play better than those on PC, is because they have those decades of experience with arena shooters, mainly Halo in general.
You need to just practice, or just play with other KBM players exclusively. Which you can do by the way in ranked.
Your ignorance is showing. You don’t know me. You don’t know my experience. I’ve put countless hours into Halo 2 and even more (thousands of hours) into Halo 3. I’ve been to major (MLG) tournaments for Halo 3. I’ve played hundreds of hours in Halo 5. I have experience. I know how to play Halo. I’ve also played thousands of hours in many M&K only games. CSGO, Valorant, H1Z1, APB. What experience do you have on each input? What experience do you have in other games?
With this experience I can tell you, controller is THE dominant input and only because it has aim assist at the level it does. Period.

TTK is affected a huge amount by accuracy. I “call cap” on you having any clue to the reality of the facts here or even looking into it. I’ll take the knowledge and understanding of the situation from high level professional players who have spoken on the subject multiple times. I posted just one of the videos. If you want to ignore reality that’s fine. I’ll just be out here playing on controller and enjoying it. I’m not going to pretend it’s not clearly the best input method for Halo Infinite though. It doesn’t bruise my ego one bit.

If you really had that experience with any of the previous Halos, you would’ve realized aim assist for Infinite has been drastically reduced. I’m not saying you’re a liar, but none of what you said has any proof other than “just trust me bro”
Congrats bud. Enjoy playing on whatever input you feel makes you happy. Clearly this is a better option than just changing the entire game for your own benefit
I’ll be out here enjoying the game as well either on KBM or Controller
My opinion on the matter is it’s awfully easy to make the excuse of “those darn controller players and their aim assist” then to actually admit that they may have just gotten outplayed
But to say that infinite’s aim assist if the strongest it’s ever been in any game out there in existence or in the franchise is completely false and a total pile of crap.
The aim for controllers is fine where it is, and I’m beating a dead horse at this point explaining that the aim assist is only active when the reticle is red. Outside of that there is literally no aim assist for controller players. The distance for the reticle to turn red is within 6-7 meters, with long TTK a KBM player can buy plenty of time to engage a controller player before aim assist is active.
As it should be and any top level player would agree with me. Anyone that complains about the current level of aim assist is a lower skilled player.
Why are you creating stawmans? No where did TheOneAndOnlyDC ever say that Halo Infinite has the strongest aim assist out of any game ever.
The aim assist is fine where it is at on controller, but why are you actively ignoring the accuracy data?

The aim assistance range is different per weapon. The BR AA distance goes out very far which is why it is so strong on controller. Especially on 4v4 maps. This is the majority of what ranked Halo is shaped around. BTB, will definitely show more of the advantage of mouse aim especially when using a short range AA weapon like the Sidekick.
Lmfao. You are literally the one complaining about aim assist my dude. Controller players had to adapt to the lower aim assist compared to previous Halos, yet we didn’t compain.
I honestly think you’ve just been getting stomped online and this excuse for aim assist helps maintain your ego as a “top-tier” Halo player. Now you want the game changed so you can win more games instead of either practicing, or just sticking to your own input.
What’s your rank in solo/duo que for kbm? You are probably Onyx I assume?

Like I’ve said, I’ve switched to controller because I don’t want to complain about it anymore.
Huh? I saw multiple threads and posts daily about increasing the aim assist because it felt “low” or “non-existent”. Controller players were absolutely complaining about it.
I have been getting stomped on, that’s why I’m making the switch to controller. And I used to be a “top-tier” halo player… when I was 17. I’m old now dude. I don’t want the game changed. Again, I switched to controller, I’m making the change. Why do I have to “stick to my own input”. That sentence reads like some 1960’s mentality - “Stick to your own lane, boy”.
Again… I switched to controller and it will take time to get used to, but I fully expect to be Onyx here shortly. Currently Diamond 6 in open crossplay, something like 1490 range of elo, I’d have to look it up.
