Beatdown aim assist op much? Bringing halo 5 back to competitive gaming? #343fail

This is one of the most amazing and sad things I have ever seen for aim assist in a game.

What do you all feel?

Please spread this around as im sure you all will agree this is a bit OP and to much.

Thanks for sharing this, that’s pretty crazy. I noticed this last night as well while playing some FFA. One possible explanation for it – and I’m mostly playing Devil’s advocate here – is that this level of aim assist (which you probably noticed also leads to an extremely high percentage of melee kills being trades) is that it incentivizes/rewards you for keeping your distance and continuing to shoot rather than rushing straight toward your opponent. Based on that, I suppose you could make the argument that it fits into the competitive vision by emphasizing gun skill over mad AR rush, since in theory at least you could put 5 precision shots into someone who was rushing at you and take them out before they got within range. Better to get a kill than a trade.

Again, I’m reaching here. But as much as this game has been poured over I think we have to treat every feature as a deliberate decision instead of an accident, which means they must have seen some reason for it. Doesn’t mean I don’t agree that it should be toned down or taken out though, especially since you can’t even thruster away from a melee - the autoaim will let your opponent kill you as you thrust away if even a shred of your spartan is still on their screen.

Eh, its not necessarily OP, everyone still has a fair chance in hitting a beatdown regardless. Its not like some people can do it and others can’t. Not saying that I like it…

I agree with you on the whole of anybody can do it. I do not like that much degree of help.
