I used to be able to play fairly well. Now all of a sudden I can’t get kills anymore! I got frustrated after somebody messaged me that I was a noob and he invited me to a 1v1. So I did it but went 1-9. If it were before I would’ve at least gotten 8-9 if I lose. At first I thought it was my head injury, but I can do other things and play other games like I used too. I legitimately can’t aim anymore! I even made the sensitivity down to 6 and I still can’t get hits. Yeah I’m venting right now it’s just really frustrating to see that I can’t play good anymore.
No buddy… The game has changed. And not for the better. The slightest timing on the weapons have royally screwed up my aiming. Sluggish. Delayed response from controller trigger pull… Just everything is off.

Don’t worry, it’s just the terrible weapon tuning update
It just takes some time to get used to. It was different for me at first but didn’t take me long to figure it out.

Woah I recognize your name from somewhere!
Also it’s reassuring to know that. I’ll see if I can improve with castle wars or some other custom game.
Op the aim has never been great in this game but I also know what you mean. Usually after an update the game always plays off. Specially the aim and hit registration. What I would do is try a hard reset start to your xbox. Sometimes that helps. I always get this weird input lag from my controller. And that is very hard to clear. Also the servers do tend to get shaken from an update. And they seem to become a bit stressed. But overtime they do seem to settle down. Next time that player wants to do a 1v1 with you always make sure you invite him to you. I’m almost sure he had server advantage over you if he sent you an invite. Hope your aim gets better! Good luck!

I think what really helped me was FFA.

Holy crap! I just did what you said and got 31 kills, 10 deaths, and 13 assists! I love this game again! xD
Edit: Now I got 15 kills, 9 deaths, and 22 assists! We got steamrolled but I was able to keep fighting. I really want to invite that smurf to another 1v1 but I think he blocked me.

Well it sounds like you are doing better though. If for some reason it gets real crappy again just do another hard reset start to your xbox. Sometimes I have to do these twice to get the game to respond proper. For some reason H5 suffers from what seems to be performance hitches. And that isn’t a good thing at all. This will result in poor server response and controller input lag. Which does cause poor aim and hit registration. And its not at all your connection. That is totally on 343. Hope things continue for you in a positive manner. Good luck!
Honestly it is probably in your head.
Weird. I actually aim better with this update.
I reduced my sensitivity from 6, 6, recently to 3,3 and that seemed to help me. I now win 60-70% of my 1v1 occurrences these days as opposed to losing most of them. I could even go down to 2 sensitivity but find the amount of time I get double pummelled by noobs is ridiculous and need a bit faster turn around speed.
I find that the pro’s tend to do that annoying minor strafe back forth back forth real quick, 3,3 sensitivity allows me to just slightly tap my sticks in the direction they’re going as theyre going instead of tapping the sticks and my aim going off and overshooting.

Dude, some people are just good. You would never of gotten 8-9 kill on Ogre 2 for example. You can’t assume like that.

I couldn’t aim at all. The reason why I couldn’t kill him was because I couldn’t even hit him. Even on normal matches besides the 1v1. Now I got my aim back.
yeah i had a similar feeling when i picked up the gunfighter magnum or whatever its called

Then it’s your hardware. Or you were simply off. It happens. Sometimes people choke.
Feel free to vent here on this thread Overtime…More Harm than Good?
It’s where you can discuss the issues you face with this update.
Ah yes… the dreaded “rut” OP… I’m familiar with this… like a disturbance in the force, where suddenly, your thumbs don’t move like they used to, you can’t hit the broad side of a barn, and you find yourself wondering if you were ever truly good at this game… in fact… have you ever played video games before? Or was it just in your head, the whole time?
My advice… take a step back. Go and be with your wife. Kids. Girlfriend. Friends. Sleep. Take a brief hiatus from Halo. Maybe a week off to do other things. Come back after that anew and fresh. Maybe rock a few rounds of firefight and destroy some grunts with ease, getting a few easy wins under your belt. Then head back into Arena. If you’re anything like me - it’s a magic formula that works wonders for my game when I return - mind’s clear, at ease, the rut is gone, and back to slaying fools left and right!
Or… get three really good friends to carry you, and try to steal a kill here or there. You may suck at aiming - but at least you’ll have fun if you’re still winning despite. And they’ll just mock you for it afterward. No big deal!
(side note - nice armor and color scheme. I used to have the EXACT same look… even down to the additional colors).
