Left Right Strafe is Annoying

I’m not a fan of how fast people can left right strafe in this game. In past halo games there was inertia and you couldn’t stop on a dime and move in the opposite direction at 100% speed immediately. I’ve had some fights where the enemy was able to just completely strafe my entire crosshair in a split second forcing me to reload or go for a punch. It just feels obnoxious and makes me want to avoid getting into close up fights.

EXACTLY, no sense of momentum in the strafe, it’s just floaty and sudden movement. Doesn’t help with the aim assist being as low as it is.

I’m with you on this. Especially considering some of us can switch directions a bit faster than others due to input device. Yeah, it’s quicker to press a button that slam the joystick the other direction. Maybe not by much, but still.

Hard disagree. It feels smooth and satisfying and for the first time since Halo 2 doesn’t feel like I’m stuck in mud.

What? There’s no realistic motion in this let alone Halo 2

Strafing was alot like that in Halo 5 competitive. I can’t even left right strafe, idk why but every time I try to walk left while looking forward, I move like a snail. Just recently started trying to crouch strafe and it works well

Improvise, adapt and overcome. Seems like you’re just getting outplayed.
