First off, I’m loving infinite and am grateful 343 has been listening to feedback from long term halo fans.
I have felt as thought the aiming is way off on PC/MKB however, to the point of precision weapons being almost unusable.
I actually love the idea of precision weapons receiving a bullet magnetism nerf and even some nerfing to the aim assist compared to previous titles - it creates a larger skill gap for competitive play, it makes precision weapons such as the BR legitimate skill based power weapon pickups in socials while reducing the precision meta, and it allows for non precision weapons to retain a legitimate place in Halo’s sandbox.
But currently I feel the lack of aim assist to be too harsh, particularly on precision weapons. Mid Range, mid tier precision weapons like the BR and Commando should have more aim assist in my opinion, even if their magnetism remains lower than other halo titles to create more of a skill gap. Closer range pistol weapons could also really do with more aim assist, even if power weapons like the mangler remain unchanged in the magnetism department to cement it as a skill based power weapon.
Weapons such as the stalker rifle, shock rifle, sniper, and skewer I personally wouldn’t mind having low magnetism and aim assist, due to their high TTK in the right hands, and creating a skill gap with less aiming assistance might be the best option, though I feel the stalker rifle could possibly benefit from some minor aim assist/magnetism buffs.
Otherwise, I’m really loving this game. I love the sandbox 343 have created and love the direction things are taking.
I’ve read on Reddit that a lot of people have similar aiming problems on PC, and I’m wondering if others here have too?
