Ahoi there!
I’ve been playing COD-BO2 on my WiiU for a couple of days now in search of something else to play as I’ve been playing H5 pretty much solely since it launched. I guess we all remember what a struggle it was to get the hang of the controls in H5 and I guess now the game has got among the best customization options I’ve seen in a console game. When I bought my XB1 and H5 I had been playing on a PC for many years and pretty much no consoles at all. I’ve always felt like a natural when it came to controllers and console FPS games.
Picking up BO2 again with a WiiU Pro Controller I was amazed over how natural it felt and how easy of a time I had aiming. That controller is like a mix of the 360 and PS3 controller.
So to the question for you players who have played any COD game on XB1 and H5:
Is it easier to aim in COD compared to Halo 5 and what do you believe is the reason for that (like increased aim assist, bullet magnetism or simply the fact that the TTKs are incredibly fast etc)?
I know that the XB1 controllers are a bit different from the 360 versions with lower sticks and more resistance to them (just like the WiiU pro) and I’ve felt at times that it is harder to do precision aiming with XB1 controller due to the more flimsy sticks.
Also the fact that playing any other game makes me have a bit of a learning curve every time I pick H5 up again. COD was just “pick up, set the sensitivity and then gun away”.
The aiming mechanic in H5 is different from the aiming mechanic in other halo games
in my opinion the mechanic in H5 is rewlly inconsistent
i just can’t for what ever reason get used to it
in past halos I felt confident going into gun battles in H5 Intrynto avoid 1 on 1s as much as possible because o don’t feel confident that I’m going to be able to land all my shots and come out on top

Exactly. I used to feel that way too about Halo games. I guess COD games simply do not mess around too much with what works. Have you played any COD title so that you can compare the two?
Almost a year later I can feel that I struggle at times to get it right in H5. Don’t take it as me bashing on H5 I am just trying to figure out why it is so different. Is it the controller alone? Is H5 actually harder to play or a combination of both?
It’s easier to aim in COD because of no descoping and the TTK is ridiculously low compared to Halo, especially the classics. The only downfall in aiming in COD is flinch.

Yeah, I heard that MW1 apparently has even faster TTKs than the other games.
I think you are feeling the effects of the aiming change from the Beta.
This was something my friends also had a problem with.
This might help. You may have to tweak the settings to better fit your playstyle.

No, BO3 is absolutely ridiculous. I shouldn’t have 100+ bullets for a 2-shot weapon. I know that people fly and everything but that is absurd. Every gun is overpowered, and if a gun’s TTK is lower than 3-4 second TTK it is useless. I’m honestly looking forward to MW1 Remastered, it’s my favorite COD out of them all…
Halo 5s aiming is different for every other console game. The aim assist is not smaller, the aiming itself is messed up. The XIM4 guys looked into this, there is a lot of heavy aim in halo 5. The pros are getting more and more annoyed with it as well.

Played BO3 last night with a buddy online for the first time. Split screen. Both of us rank 1s. I’m no stranger to the MW series - played the hell out of MW1-3. BO3 is truly absurd… in a bad way. It’s “I see you first so I win”. Was consistently pitted against guys who were lv. 80+ and had rainbow colored LMG’s… never had such a negative K/D in my life…
But back on topic - Sack Of Dongles sent a good link. You can essentially tailor your controller to your hearts desire now on the Xbox ONE. The Xbox Accessoires App also lets you button map if you don’t have an Elite controller. Very handy in H5 IMO. I spent a considerable amount of time customizing my Elite controller to H5.

I never participated in the H5 beta. My controls are however pretty much the beta settings right now with some minor tweaks to suit my needs. I found that they are as good as they can get for me atm (also using an Elite controller btw, love it). However, playing any other game usually messes me up when returning to H5. At least for a game or two.
