As someone who has taken a long while off H5 and been playing MCC and Reach during that time, why does strafing feel so cumbersome? It feels like my strafing patterns just aren’t working and that i’m a sitting duck. Anybody know why and have any tips to improve my strafe?

Well the strafing speed in this game is much slower than in previous halos. Now you need to incorporate more crouching and thrusting into your gun battles. Jumping helps too but would only really do that near the end of a gunfight
I think it’s a combination of low strafe acceleration and low skill ceiling weapons which makes it difficult to out strafe someone. A lot of times you need to incorporate a thrust into your strafe to make it work.
Hit boxes are larger and bullet magnetism is stronger so that makes it harder to win by only strafing.

Is there really bullet magnetism? I feel really bad at this game a lot of the time. Last few days have just been horrible, get less than 10 kills and go negative and only diamond ranks. Especially against Champs in arena

Yeah definitely. There are times where you can get a kill on someone who is behind a corner and might have none or just a little bit of their armor sticking out. It’s not to say it happens all the time or that bullet magnetism is the only thing that makes players lose, but it’s definitely a factor. It’s stronger in 5 to sort of balance out the extra mobility given by Spartan abilities, but sometimes ends up giving you the feeling that either you or your opponent got a cheap kill.
Seems like it all about the crouch strafing these days & using the thruster.

I feel like I can’t shoot weapons and armor crouched around a corner compared to h2 h3 and even reach
