Let me turn off crossplay (aim assist)

Games Halo Infinite
1

Aim assist is broken in the game. It just is and at this point I don’t even play any game modes other than ranked duo K&M, but I want to play other things for fun as well and it’s just annoying that I (a pretty decent player) have to try-hard whenever I am in 1v1 duels because of the massive advantage controller players have. If you want the pro scene to stagnate after a few tournements like every other Halo game by not nerfing aim assist a smidge and t making K&M slightly worse, but viable, fine, but at least let me choose to not play against people who use controller in the casual modes.

And for people saying that I should just use controller myself if it’s so good. No. What I find fun is being as good as I can be and relying on my own skill and not some aim assist to get kills. I will never go back to controller again in FPS games.

Yeah, we need input filters badly. I play both inputs, but mnk is horrible outside of the one ranked playlist that is input filtered.

Why do you have to try any harder?

Your opponents are ranked the same (ranked) or similarly (social). Their chosen method of input is kind of irrelevant.

Who cares if they would be better (or worse) with a different input…

You only have to play vs who is matched against you.

Do you play both inputs? I don’t think you have the perspective needed to comment considering the tone deaf reply.

Because I am good at the game. I am aware of how the game modes work, controlling power items/weapons and spawns, nades and so on so I’d have no problems getting to for instance onyx (although onyx is way too easy to get into anways so probably doesn’t say much) in the crossplay mode (although I don’t play it because it’s not fun), but in pure 1v1 duels, the K&M user is in a massive disadvantage vs the controller user and agasint higher skilled players that just becomes a much bigger issue.
That just multiplies in casual game modes where I don’t care about the tactical stuff and I just want to have fun, run around and kill people and not worry about tactics. I understand I’m going to lose more games like that and do worse too, but if I was on an equal playing field as the others I’d at least have fun.

What perspective do I need?

If I’m ranked Platinum 3 and my opponent is ranked Platinum 3… what else do I need to know?

Should I get upset about their input… the fps on their monitor… the brand of gaming chair… what flavour of Mountain Dew they are chugging?

If their set up actually makes them better than me… they will rank up and I don’t have to worry about them anymore.

I dare say you had no trouble getting into Onyx because you are an Onxy class player. I just hope you feel for plebs… you know, the majority… who aren’t Onxy.

And yet, KBM players are whinging that AA is too strong… and that they can’t compete with a controller player pursuing them.

From the masses point of view… it’s confusing. Which is it?

No aggression in the question. I’m actually confused.

But, if they are doing so much better… won’t they rank higher… and not become your problem anymore?

But casual game modes have SBMM too. You should be pretty much matched with like minded players.

Blockquote I dare say you had no trouble getting into Onyx because you are an Onxy class player. I just hope you feel for plebs… you know, the majority… who aren’t Onxy.

Yes, but this just gets worse for the “plebs”, as you put, it in lower skills. M&K has a much higher skill floor than controller, so if good players are complaining about this then imagine how it feels being a bad M&K player

And yet, KBM players are whinging that AA is too strong… and that they can’t compete with a controller player pursuing them.

Not sure what you’re saying here? I agree that aim assist is too strong and that K&M players are at a disadvantage against controllers

But, if they are doing so much better… won’t they rank higher… and not become your problem anymore?

Like I said. There is more to comp games then just aiming. Controlling power weapons, controlling spawns, using nades properly and knowing how to play the objective modes and so on are massive in the game and that is why I can still have a high ranking in ranked and as a result a high mmr for SBMM, the problem this causes is that I then get put against other good players or players who simply got their SBMM for being good with controller aim. When those players use controller, I have to purposly try to avoid 1v1 duels despite knowing I am good at aiming.

But casual game modes have SBMM too. You should be pretty much matched with like minded players.

I mainly play ranked where my tactical skill is what is causing me to win games and as a result get a higher MMR, when I then play against people in social with a similar “skill” level and they use controller, I will not win 1v1 duels and as I throw all tactics out of the window then I play social games to try to have fun and get kills, I will get outgunned. Not because of skill, but because of Aim Assist

I am also very against removing SBMM as that would only hurt the casual player base when god-tier players get matched against them and stomp them. Just as aditional information.

Also, no problem with sounding agressive, you didn’t to me anyways. I also have to apologise if I sound agressive as it is 7 in the morning here and I have yet to sleep (RIP my sleep scheduel)

Are you kidding OP?

THERE IS NO AIM ASSIT AND THAT’S THE PROBLEM!

The controls are so widely out of control you can’t hit the broad side of a barn if you are using a controller. Keyboard warriors have an enormous advantage over controllers especially on PC.

That’s just factually wrong. There was a bug very early in MP release where the aim assist would turn itself off even when using a controler on PC, but that was fixed pretty quickly as far as I am aware.

There is still no aim assit. The settings are absolute garbage and even with an elite controller with my aiming joystiq having the extended added to it I can’t aim worth a crap.

My lifetime Halo KD is 1.6 and in Infinite I’m 0.7 after 156 games. Sorry Charlie but you are dead wrong.

No. There is aim assist. No matter how much I hate the guy, you can search up XQC playing the game (on PC) and he is literally showing you how there is aim assist in the game.

I looked it up and I was wrong, it doesn’t seems it is fixed yet. Something some people say is causing the aim assist to be turned off is on the start screen where it says “press enter to continue”, if you press anything on your keyboard it will be turned off, however if you use your controller to go past that screen, you should have aim assist.

I’ve played Halo for 20 years. Infinite has zero aim assist or its so small its as if it is zero.

The controls on the gamepad at maximum sensitivity are SLOW and SIMPLY THE PLAYER ON THE GAMEPAD DOES NOT HAPPEN TO DEPLOY WHEN THE MOUSE IS SPINNING FAST, but the aid in aiming is not chopped off - my only 2 complaints
And for this reason, the artificial limitation of mobility on the gamepad, I definitely cannot consider the game the best. Fixing these two problems and the progression of the Battle Pass will be great

It honestly makes me laugh.

Ever since Crossplay really started to become a thing, PC players are the biggest whiners.

For years, us “console peasants” had to put up with being called such and “PC MASTER RACE” comments.

And now all of a sudden, PC players are peeing themselves saying how aim assist is “unfair”. I see it everywhere now.

Halo, CoD, Battlefield…all the major cross-play arenas with PC players not being able to handle it.

It’s glorious.

Not that I think controller aim assist is OP by any stretch of the imagination (because it clearly isn’t) but how about we agree for this imaginary all powerful aim assist to be dialled down if M&K players would have their ability to flick their mouse to turn 180 in an instant and rapid fire scroll buttons removed. Deal?

On a side, it’s also been widely reported that PC controller players apparently have more aim assist than console controller players. If this is true then I would like to know why this is even in the game.

As a controller user (I’ve tried M&KB but could never adjust to the difference in movement control), I’ll admit our aim assist is advantageous in the way Halo TTK is traditionally balanced.

However, it is not broken the way you think. Aim Assist and Bullet Magnetism in Infinite are rather toned down compared to previous iterations. They are a bit broken though in that they don’t always function.

You act like this is a “us vs them” argument when it’s really you pounding your chest for no reason because you have an easier time aiming with a controller than using mnk is currently. The fact is that it is not balanced in these crossplay games. The current high acceleration movement only works with strong aim assist and tracking that movement with a high ttk is crappy experience on mnk.

If we put the shoe on the other foot and mnk had an advantage, I guarantee you’d be a “whiner” on this forum since you’re so keen on acting like a choice of input is a competition. You’re a clown.

It’s the only thing that’s relevant given how broken auto aim is.

Thanks for admitting you can’t play without a crutch.

Have you ever played on controller?
