I’m an OBJ player, I need reasonably quick sensitivity to be at my best when running these flags back and forth, navigating to stronghold points, avoiding enemy players while carrying the ball, etc. It’s a pretty huge deal that controller players are restricted from playing their usual role in the way they want to be playing it. I really feel like a total dunce when trying to be mobile or agile in Halo Infinite, cooonstantly fighting the game for control of my player and aim. Every game I play I come across a situation allllll the time where I know exactly where an enemy is, and the sheer amount of time it takes for my crosshair to lumber on over to that enemy feels like an eternity in my mind and my hands are shocked that it’s taking so long to do such an innocuous feat like turning my camera toward an enemy.
This sensitivity restriction to whatever the 10 setting is has dramatic and sweeping implications for every aspect of gameplay for me. That sensitivity cap should be raised to 20. I should be able to flick the stick to do a 180, and yeah I sometimes overshoot my target, but I can also correct that mistake just as quickly as I had made it. That’s the beauty of faster sensitivity in a gunfight, when you NAIL your aim and are still able to jump back up 2 levels to cap that stronghold point behind you in 2 seconds or less, THAT’S exciting, THAT’S a big thrill, THAT’S what I love about shooters. But I can’t do any of that in this game because of the capped look sensitivity at 10. I can’t navigate a flag path as well, I can’t check corners or camping spots quickly, I can’t react to incoming fire coming from behind me very well, I can’t jump up to the cubby on Lockers in Bazaar from the overshield spawn very quickly, you know that spot that requires 2 jumps to get to the 2nd level? This problem has a very dramatic impact on how I play my shooters. But MnK players can do all of this??? In the same game? It’s just infuriating to even think about it.
