Tashi was discussing how to increase the gun play skill gap in competitive Halo on Twitter. He even went as far as to question 5 shot precision weapon vs BR 4 burst starts.
I would like to suggest another possibility to increasing the gun play skill gap: a slight reduction in cursor friction on both inputs?
Why?
- The Battle Rifle is a 12 shot weapon
- Prior to increasing cursor friction on mouse, the BR definitely felt like a 12 shot kill, which is why mouse felt so imbalanced
- Controller has no sense of the individual shots in a burst, and mouse barely does since the friction increase
- This would immediately increase the skill gap on ALL weapons, including on the pistol
You can’t completely remove all friction, because the game would become impossibly hard, but a slight reduction seems viable.
