Right away i noticed and huge decrease in aim assist which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But im sure we all prefer it because it HELPS you aim and put a bullet where you point it. Instead i find myself popping head shots when my reticle is no where near a head shot. Even with the sniper rifle ive noticed shooting in the upper chest goes as a head shot.
I dont want the game to hit targets for me but rather assist in hitting the target.
I’d like the aim assist to stay the way it is and lower bullet mag and decrease the size of the hitboxes.
Bullet magnetism is part of aim assist.
Aim assist in Halo consists of at least 3 parts:
- Bullet Magnetism; bending and “auto-aimed” projectiles.
- Tether; after achieving an assist lock, how far off target one can go before magnetism and/or friction will stop influencing shots.
- Reticle friction; both the slowing and pulling of the reticle.
As well, hitboxes aren’t overly large, either tether or hit detection is out of sync with the server OR you’re using a rather large reticle within aim-assist range. On the one hand reticle sizes are reduced nearly all around, on the other hand some reticles are still rather large.
(And different weapons have different levels of assists)
