Because it is, it’s actually 11.2% difference. I used a calculator and then a percentage calc. Not a troll, just trying to correct someone. I know percentages can be confusing.
Bottom line, yes as whole numbers 47 from 42 is 5, but as a whole. It’s different with percentages. When someone says it’s only 5% difference, that’s really sugar coating it with wrong facts.
If you shot only 5% better at you’re at 42%, you’ll now be shooting 44%.
You just ended that guys whole career. Boom, bam, bop… Bada bap boom, Pow. It’s not as bad as it sounds. So the pros and Onyx ranked are just the average player on controller now?
I’m not sure if you’re liking my post or being sarcastic…and if you’re asking me a question? 
Hahaha, sorry. I was trying to be funny, while agreeing with you and asking about how the aim assist is such a deal breaker if there’s so much skill gap everywhere within controller players. The aim assist isn’t that big of a deal. I’ve been playing both keyboard and controller back and forth and I prefer playing competitive with controller because it is easier, but PC people can still dominate controller players, its not a big deal.
This game has one of the weakest controller aim assists in all of shooters, the weakest out of all the Halos. It’s funny how some PC players are loosing their minds over this one and call it OP.
Yep you make a very good point…if aim assist was like “aim bot” or the console does most of the work for us as a lot of these M&K keyboard warriors claim then there wouldn’t be a skill gap…I wouldn’t have to carry my Silver and Gold level friends every time they go negative (pretty much every game), they’d have higher than 17% headshot accuracy, I wouldn’t instantly and instinctively call out a PC player using M&K when I see one…and we’d most certainly never come across PC players on the other team that totally dominate the lobby. That kind of thing just wouldn’t happen…we must just be imagining this kind of thing or in denial whilst defending our preferred input method!
PC players are so annoying I dont see anything when pc players and keyboard and mouse players have the advantage in 99.9,% of other games …
The difference between 42% and 47% is 5%.
The % difference from 42% to 47% is 12%.
I am strictly talking difference due to % difference being largely meaningless in this context. Since we aren’t discussing improvement.
What we are talking about is the “edge” (if any), that aim assist gives. And that directly correlates to a difference of 5 shots out of every 100 fired. Which is the only metric of importance in this comparison (at the 50th percentile).
The whole point is people are making a mountain out of a molehill. 5 more bullets landed is hardly going to make or break a game. If that was true nobody would play ANY shooter since the general % difference between players is generally far greater than 12%. Regardless of input device used.
What’s really happening is PC players are just finding excuses. They will go play CS:GO and get lit up every single match and not think anything about it. Yet, when playing Halo, they have just made the assumption that “I’m doing bad because controller players exist”.
Now, at the very top level, Controller players are proving to be dominant. HOWEVER, Halo is also a controller/console focused game. So it’s hard to say if that difference is strictly due to aim assist, or does it have to do with familiarity of the game?
This problem gets even more complex, because since the relationship between the top 100 players isn’t 1:1 with the 50th percentile… making any changes to make the top end more competitive, will likely drop the 50th percentile by FAR more then 5%.
Also I love my series x , finally I can have the advantage over pc players
That makes no sense, did you even re-read what you typed? The difference between percentage is exactly that, percentage. You’re confusing whole sums compared to a percentage, that’s not how it works. Think of taxes, do you do your taxes?
Anyway, there’s no two answers. If you’re shooting 42% and you want to shoot 47%, you need to shoot 12% better than you currently are.
… and that is completely beside the point. The world of %'s aren’t strictly looking at % difference. It’s why the term “% difference” exists. Because its the analysis between two numbers as a %.
But, it’s silly to say that you can’t take the standard difference just because they are %.
And yes, you do have to shoot 12% better (if you are 42% and want to hit 47%), but in this context, that literally means hitting 5 more bullets out of every 100 you shoot.
Again, it’s percentage. I really don’t think you understand this. It does not mean you have to shoot 5 more bullets out of every 100 shots. It means you need to shoot 12% better than you currently are, out of however many shots you fired vs landed. It all varies, that’s why it’s by percentage. If my shots are out of million at 42%, and yours are out of 100 at 42%, we both still have to shoot 12% better but you have to land less shots that I would to get to 47%.
My man, you need to stop thinking of this as if its your career. We aren’t talking about improvement
We are talking about the practical difference between M&K users and Controller users…
And no matter if you shot a billion shots, or if I shot 100, when the match ends, and you hit 47 shots out of 100… congrats you just had an accuracy of 47%.
Where do you think the stat came from? Its literally a tally of every bullet that hit vs. missed a target.
And for the millionth time, I am not, and never was talking about improvement… literally talking about the actual in game difference between a player at 42% and 47%. Which is 5 bullets for every 100 fired.
Not trying to argue with you, but there’s a 12% difference between 42% and 47%. No matter how you look at it. 47% is 12% grater than 42%. There is no 5% difference between the two.
Not even in all ranked you can opt out of this darn cross-play.
It just shows how little 343i thinks about their own product:
Apparently they are so concerned about low census that they need to force match across platforms
If nothing else 343i should at least prioritize that PC players are matched with/against their kind and Series S/X owners should reap the benefit of a fast high performing console without this stupid “other players loading” wait.
So what would 47% - 42% be?
There’s still a 12% difference. Is that a serious question?
The world is going through a pandemic with a little something called Covid19. For arguments sake, the 47% of the UK population has contracted Covid19 over the last 2 years; where as only 42% of the US population has contracted Covid19. What is the difference in percentage between those nations contracting Covid19?
ps. if you answer 12% or even 11.9% then you need to go back to school.
I mean, you are so stuck in doing “percentage difference”, and getting stuck on the “%” symbol, that you have forgotten that you can literally take the “standard” difference between %'s as well.
Open an excel sheet. Put 47% in one, 42% in the other. Then subtract 42% from 47%. Trust me, you will get 5%, and your computer will not explode.
If you think it’s 5% more, do the math yourself then because 42% multiplied by 5% is 44%…
And if you’re adding 5% to 42% and getting 47%, you’re doing your math wrong. That’s not how you add percentages.
