Do I just suck at this game?

I’ve got an elite v2 controller and I consistantly frop 10-15 kills per game, these controls are much better than H5’s

Same. I’ve been hard carrying my friends. I think my average kills per game is around 16 currently. It would be higher but I meme around in BTB. I only did 10 placement games (placed Diamond 1) though. Trying to get a crew together to run those lol.

Trying messing with your deadzone ( I lowered mine down to 1.5) and have vertical sens be 0.5 higher than your horizontal.

It’s literally the exact opposite of what you are saying. The majority of people are in agreement about this game playing terrible on controller. People have been saying this since the first flight. There was a pretty popular thread just yesterday going over how to improve the default settings to make them even close to bearable.

The people complaining about the controller issue didn’t find their settings for dead zone and sensitivity. That doesn’t mean the game feels bad. It means they are incompetent on fixing their controller settings.

The game still plays like -Yoink!- after messing around with settings. Besides, shipping with bad default controls isn’t on the players to fix. It’s still valid criticism.

Aiming is completely messed up and 343 brushed it off in an article about changes saying they want aiming to be harder. Increasing the skill gap by making aiming harder is just going to burn a lot of players and make them quit, bringing us right back to what Halo 5 was like, a small player base where every match is sweaty.

You aren’t wrong with the aiming. Its weird seeing my friend love the controls, but play to a lower level than he does in MCC. The game is faster than classic and it takes some getting used to with the rotations.

Plays on 0.5 controller sensitivity
Has reduced FOV to minimum

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I never miss shots! Sure, I can’t do a full 360 turn in unter a minute, but when the enemy bot is in front of me and doesn’t move too much, I can kill it no problem!”

Waaaay to many ostriches on this forum. Gee golly I wonder why we’re already down from 250k players to 220k…

It’s the middle of the week where people work and go to school. Are you really comparing numbers like that? Friday afternoon/evening through Sunday night will be the real gauge along with the full launch.

If you’re already coping with the numbers, wait until next week. You’re gonna have a bad time.

Coping? What are you even talking about? You are the one bringing up numbers in the middle of the week. The numbers have been fine and you are only basing them off Steam.

I guess you do lol.

In seriousness, sounds like some aweful bad luck. Had the same experience on MCC the other day with every team I joined just getting slaughtered. It’s not that different from the older titles, maybe assuming it is is the problem?

My sensitivity feels really high despite horizontal being 1.5 and vertical 6.5. Acceleration 1 or 2, can’t recall.
Deadzones are almost zero.
Small adjustments throw the aim wildly around.

If you are considering ranked, it’s still very early days and the algorithm is still trying to place people. Many people like me are still in their first 10 placement matches. The group of 3 I was with yesterday were absolutely dominating in a few of the matches we played so I wouldn’t be surprised if that is part of the reason why. I still have another 5 matches left and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

This game feels weird in general, ive been playing since CE, first time its felt like this not going to lie. Idk what 343i did but its kinda crap on controller so MxB might be in my immediate future.

Not played ranked yet.
So QP and BTB.

Holy cope. That’s only an argument for a game that’s been out for at least a week or two. The fact is that the game came out like what, 3 days ago and is already bleeding players at an alarming rate. Remember this post when there are <15k players at peak times in February.

How on earth is that cope? My friends and I obsessing about playing this game more but we didn’t play on Tuesday, we probably won’t get to play tonight, some of us will get to play Friday, and probably all of us will get to play Saturday.

People have lives. I imagine the numbers will surge quite a bit on the weekend. In my (small) circle of friends/family that game, more than half have yet to login to infinite but are planning to play this weekend.

Bookmarked for the copium. We can do hot predictions:

Surge this weekend, capping at 280k
Monday comes around, goes down to 200k
Dwindles to 170k by the end of next week
210k surge on the next weekend
Repeat the process until a stable 30k players, 2-3 months from now
