I think I know why aiming is so much harder

Games Halo Infinite

  1. Players move faster. I don’t mean how fast they move in a straight line. I mean when they stop and change directions it is instant and super fast in the other direction. Moving left and right in previous Halo games was always effective but never without some slowdown.

  2. The bullet magnetism is severely reduced. You need to be a lot more accurate to hit players in Halo: Infinite than any of the previous Halo games. (Sans Halo 5 which I never owned.) Notice how when you aim at an opponent you almost never get a red reticule? It seems to disappear for every gun at about at least the distance between the two buildings at Bazaar.

These are pretty big changes. As a PC player I’m used to precision weapons but it’s like the bullets in this game are smaller. The game clearly demands a lot of precision.

For this type of problem, I see well that there is a weapon like the AR, with a power good enough to allow any player to defend themselves well in multiplayer.
