The recent update fixed the aiming for me and I started to enjoy Halo 5 more than ever. I log on today, play a few games, and notice that the “heavy aim” is back. From the update until now I felt the aim was flawless, now it feels like it did before. Inconsistent, heavy, slow, TERRIBLE. Anyone else noticing that the heavy aim is back?
I have felt a difference but didn’t really think about it being inline with the update I just put it down to me not playing in a while lol
Is 343i fixing the aiming?
I didn’t notice any changes after the fix.
Didn’t feel any changes to the aim. Sometime my shots becomes inconsistent and sometimes it becomes consistent on the target.

They supposedly fixed it in the Monitor’s Bounty update.

They missed the issue entirely, I think… people weren’t talking about the aiming mechanics so much as they were about something more deep rooted.
Try clearing the cache/hard resetting your Xbox… It seemed to help me in general, but there are still times where things feel odd. Whether it truly is server/connectivity problems or something, I have no idea…
Occasionally enemies will eat shots, or it doesn’t feel like my aim assist wants to snap to the target as well on other games and the aiming has a “slick effect” sliding all over the target, sometimes seemingly away from it. The next game rolls around and it’s like suddenly you’re a full-on Halo pro and can’t miss.
Like I said, performing a hard reset may help… I posted something up on Team Beyond a few days back and a guy had a similar experience to support hard resetting as well.
Yeah I was having aiming issues this morning and I’ve been playing the last two weeks. Felt sluggish and overcompensating.
I’m not experiencing any issues since I play on the highest sensitivity settings.
I love me some windmill aim. 
I think its back to the same old same old. The aim is back to the heavy sluggish feel…Shots not registering aiming very erratic and hard to control… I only played a few games tonight and called it quits. Ive never had a game play like this… And to be honest would one call it normal to hard reset start an xbox this much for just one game? lol. I lost count how many times ive done it for Halo5. I would cherish a whole month with out issues!
Zippy.
Thank you everyone for the replies. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one experiencing this issue. To update, it’s gotten worse for me since I posted this. It was extremely heavy tonight and the servers were laggy. I had to change my sensitivity from 4/3 to 6/3 just so it doesn’t feel so heavy, though it still does feel pretty horrible. It sucks especially since I am a high onyx in arena and constantly have to play against the top competition. I feel handicapped at times knowing my aim is inconsistent and there’s nothing I can do about it, but I do keep in mind other people are most likely experiencing the same problem.
