Ok, I need some help from y’all. I’m a 34 yr old gamer dad who doesn’t have all the time in the world to experiment and workshop hours on end in training mode to try finding aim settings that work for me on controller. Here’s my issue.
Halo 3 MCC modern aiming was perfect for me and I’m pretty good at the game as well. I have been struggling with Infinite since release and cannot find settings that work for me. I keep finding myself at one of two extremes:
-
I have sensitivity on the high end, can turn a 180 decently fast, and do better when it comes to having to turn at right angles while jumping around in cqc. But I sacrifice so much accuracy because my aim is too fast and twitchy.
-
I drop my sensitivity reeeeal low. I’m much more accurate at longer ranges. But I can’t turn worth a damn. My aim is so slow my crosshairs literally can’t keep up with someone moving in close on me. I wiff shotgun shots, melees, etc. With radar range being so short, i can’t turn around fast enough to deal with someone sprinting up behind me on radar.
I’ve looked at so many guides/videos and different people’s settings. I can’t find the happy medium between the above two. Halo 3 i could have a high enough sensitivity to make those quick turns when needed AND be accurate with my crosshairs and I can’t do that here. My hands literally get sore because they get so tense from fighting with the controls. I aim with strafe some, but find myself relying more on the right stick to adjust my aiming. I tweak acceleration accordingly. Dead zones are as low as they can go without drift. Axial dead zones are zero. Haven’t settled on anything with max input threshold. I need some ideas, and answers to a couple questions:
-
Has anyone found having some axial dead zone helps with jerky/twitchtness when trying to aim? I’ve kept them at zero currently.
-
The only way i get a tolerable turning speed is to have my sens at 10. Acceleration would have to go to 1, but is there anything i can do with axial dead zone or input threshold to make using 10 sens more accurate. Right now weapons like the commando, sentinel beam, br, sidekick, etc, are really difficult to keep crosshairs on target with.
I apologize for the massive wall of text. But I’ve been waiting for this game since Halo 3 and now I’m just always frustrated because I’m fighting with the aim so much. Feels like I’m dragging my crosshairs through water. I player overwatch for years and had similar problems. So many aim options in that game i could never find a way to be comfortable/accurate on controller. I’m mentally exhausted with trying to figure this out with this game.
The Halo community in general is pretty awesome and helpful. Hope you all can help a guy out. Sick of wasting so much time on bots trying to get this right instead being able to just enjoy the game.
