Mouse and Keyboard Don't Need Aim Assist but More Bullet Magnetism

Games Halo Infinite

4 shot kill = 12 bullets

As of right now it can take up to 12 shots to kill an enemy. That is if only 1 out of 3 bullets of your burst shot is hitting. Due to lack of aim assist on m&kb, strafing movements almost makes it impossible to land all 12 bullets (4 burst shots). I’m not saying m&kb need aim assist, but the 3 bullets in a burst shot are spread really far apart. When an opponent is staffing not every bullet will hit. You can test this in a custom game. M&KB players need more magnetism on the bullets or the the M&KB playlist needs a different starting weapon, like a Halo 5 pistol or a Halo 5 CE remake pistol. I’m still enjoying the game types on the M&KB playlist, however, the BR battles feel random due to lack of bullet magnetism on the bullet spread.

agree, dont nerf controllers AA, give M&K some more magnetism.

it feels like I have to be much more precise in my aiming with the mouse than with the controller. just the overall feel between the two dont seem to match with what shots are landing and which ones arent.

I can do all right popping shields on m&kb, but when I have to sidekick/BR the head, and they start strafing. It’s instantly over for me. It sucks.

Sniper/Skewer go pretty well for me because they don’t necessarily(sniper) need headshots.

If that’s the direction the game goes then I’m just uninstalling. Game already has too much bullet magnetism on Mouse.

5

The bullet magnetism is already crazy high, considering you can shoot people at a 90 degree angle around a wall.

6

I don’t feel it one bit.

That’s bad net code, not bullet magnetism.

Ding ding ding. Hit the nail on the head. You can totally see in action by carefully adjusting the reticule in a custom game. A BR burst that is off center a bit will result in a miss or a partial hit on MKB but will be an easy full hit on controller.

Mouse doesn’t need sticky aim. Just buff the hurtboxes a bit on the BR and Sidekick for starters.

lol you definitely dont play with keyboard and mouse if you think that

I don’t play games on KBM but I’ve played some ranked and I found it pretty easy to aim. I’m just terrible mechanically moving around.

That I think what? That hitboxes should be consistent and my bullets should only be traveling towards my point of aim? Mouse aim is already watered down too much in this game. The Battle Rifle practically aims itself within magnetism range or when you use the scope.

Any balance patches along the reasoning of “If Mouse doesn’t have to aim either then it will be balanced” and I hard uninstall.

11

this is completely false.

12

yea you really dont know what you’re talking about, its obvious youve barely played mouse and keyboard, if at all

Hey I dunno about you, but shooting at strafing players also makes me less accurate on controller. Overwatch has this same problem, the Strafe speed is really fast.

14

I dunno what your specs are or what you’re playing at, but at a locked 120fps at 1080p I don’t have any issue landing a 4 tap.

Besides, addressing the title, AA on M/KB wouldn’t work anyway and is kind of a bad argument to counter argue against.

Maybe lock your framerate so you’re getting a consistent picture of what’s going on in game?

15

You have mediocre aim, I’ll guarantee it.

I’m onyx in solo que and crossplay with kbm

17

Yeah thats a netcode issue, not a magnetism thing

I think there is some problem with networking.

I can tell you that I am missing shots on target running straight at me. I have no issue if I play academy with bots.

But its not my connection.
I used to play a lot of cod and I had a lot of networking problems. So I switched ISP and those problems are gone. But now I am experiencing weird stuff in infinite again. It feels bad as battlefield 3 &4. I dont care what bf fanboys say, but the only hit detection working battlefield is V…

Maybe its eu servers only, I dont know… but hit detection is super inconsistent

They shouldn’t even be listening to M&K players at all. They’ll be the first to leave as they aren’t really fans of Halo in the first place.

The ranking system forces anyone with a brain up to Onyx so long as they put the time in. The mechanical skill floor for it is not particularly high. Putting aim assist mechanics on Mouse be like that.
