Halo 5 feels clunky?

Why does halo 5 feel clunky all of a sudden? Before it was… fine, but now it’s so hard to aim and get kills all of a sudden. I can’t get out of diamond 6 in slayer because I’m actually getting worse everyday. I had almost a 2 k/d in swat, and a 1.6 in slayer, now that’s dropped. everything feels incredibly heavy, even the slightest micro correction messes up my shot and I lose gun battles. I’m not versing harder people, in fact i verse the same guys quite often, I can predict their play. Also, no matter who I play, I always seem to barely pull through. I played 2 low diamonds and 2 high plats, and only went 15/11, I played a team of high onyx players the very next game and went 10/13 (I started catching halfway through). I tend to start players, get them absolute, but just can’t seem to finish the kill. No matter what sense I play on, no matter what weapon I use, no matter my playstyle, everything feels super clunky and off, and I can’t fix it.

I’m not a bad player, but I seem to be going through a crisis right now, and I can’t fix it, I verse champs, and i used to hold my end pretty well in those intense gunbattles, but I can’t seem to do that anymore as well, not even against plats.

I’m not sure what to do, I feel I’ve exhausted all options, and it’s stressing me more and more because I’m losing more and more.

Idk I don’t really seem to have this problem, granted I don’t play ranked all too often. Sometimes it’s your controller. If it’s old, adjust deadzone and try with it or get a new controller if that’s not the problem. I dunno, most the time I have these sorts of things with aim it’s with my controller, so I just get a new one and test out how it feels. Though when I do play ranked matches I feel a little drag in my movement and have to use a bit more effect just to aim and am constantly making players one-shot. Either I’m bad (likely, since I don’t play ranked much), or it’s some other odd unknown reason. I am no pope or wise man, I’m kind of just a random Joe Smoe on the internet.

Honestly the servers are so poorly supported these days that match quality from game to game is drastically different depending what server I play on. And the connection does play a big part in the feel and aim of the game. At this point it’s better to move to MCC or a new game in general cause 343 never responds to any forum comments and I don’t see them doing anything to refresh the servers.

Maybe you ‘overused’ your controller. When mine was getting old i was getting alot of problems with looking around. For example before i used sensitivity 6 in halo: reach. After that i had to reduce it to 3 and it felt the exact same.

This happens to me quite a bit. What I do is player a slower game like Halo Reach or Halo 3 then come back to Halo 5. I’m talking a few hours playing those games. Then, when you return Halo 5 will feel normal again.

Well now I’m diamond 4 in slayer, I think I’ve just decided I’m gonna quit 5. I’m getting worse everyday and so is my rank. Thanks guys

Yes ! Some games feel fluid and great and others feel extremely sluggish and clunky. I second the servers . Some games ill get 25 kills and 5 deaths then the next game ill get 5 kills and 25 deaths. Consistancy is key and this game dont got it.

They haven’t changed a single 1 or 0 within this game for years. I may be your controller. It might actually be that you are just getting older and your muscles & coordination are eroding (more common among mid 20s and up. Thier are a -Yoink- load of older gamers. A -Yoink- load but you’ll never see one in the pros for this reason).
To level up (I’m only a diamond 3 but I only play with randoms so that might be equivalent to an onx), I had to adjust my sensitivity to an insane level and relearn how to finesse my thumb sticks. Elite controller helps but those actually have made the game seem clunky due to how they wear so I’m on my second. Are you using an elite older than 6 months?

no halo 5 was like this since it came out

I would agree with you I just feel like lately I can’t seem to kill anyone and I’m not moving around like I used to and I don’t think it’s controller related for me because my scuf is not that old it’s probably just the fact I don’t really play halo 5 that often over years and there are way too many people that be playing this daily and they just better than me lol

I reassure you my friend, I have exactly the same feeling as you now.
