Really hoping this is a problem that can be fixed.
Below is the text from the reddit post:
TL;DR - Me and two of my friends have noticed that during complex moves in Halo 5 with the XB1 Elite controller, occasionally it seems to ignore inputs or have tremendous lag. Seems to happen most often after swapping a weapon. Has anyone else seen this?
Full explanation - I’ve noticed on several occasions when in a heated battle, and doing complex movements (like a jump slide thrust, then swap weapons, while turning), sometimes controller inputs don’t seem to take properly, if at all. For me this seems to happen most often with right trigger (fire weapon for me), but I have noticed it with melee and jump (RB and LB since I use bumper jump). RT is the most frequent however. I’ve seen it happen more often when doing a weapon swap while turning then immediately trying to fire. I’m not using the hairpin triggers for the RT on my elite.
The first few times that I saw this, I was under the impression that maybe I was caught up in the moment and just over analyzed the situation, thinking I should have made that move but didn’t. This has been going on for weeks/months and I’m pretty convinced that there is something going on. I’m not exactly saying that this is a Halo 5 issue or an elite controller issue, but one of our teammates didn’t mention this until after he got his elite controller. I’m wondering if either the controller or game gets backed up with inputs if you are doing too much at one time. With a normal controller this could be difficult to do but with the elite controller since you have the ability to hit more inputs, you could expose something.
Unfortunately there isn’t much I can do to record this. I’ve only ever played H5 with my elite. I have a scuff that I could try to use, but due to the paddle layout I’m not sure I could reproduce it quite as well.
This could be all in my head, but I’ve just seen it too much at this point. I’m going to cross post in the waypoint forums as well.
