The amount of aim assist on controllers is way too high. During close to mid range fights I get lasered by some enemy spartans as if I was standing still, while I can only land a few shots. For testing purposes I tried playing with controller for a bit (I haven’t played an fps with a controller in 5 years and was really bad at aiming back in the day anyways) but somehow I’m more accurate on controller than on mnk. I barely even had to move the stick to get kills a lot of the time. As a casual player this is becoming really frustrating. So please turn down controller aim assist or at least lock lobbies to user inputs.
Input based matchmaking should have been in day 1, but aim assist for controllers should absolutely not change.
343 actually solved this problem in MCC where controller vs. KBM was also a huge problem, I guess they threw those learnings away because they believe there is some way they can make both inputs equal, and there isn’t, because they’re fundamentally different.

Yeah I understand your point. Turning down aim assist would probably make the experience for console players a lot worse. I didn’t really think about that when writing my post because I was a little frustrated.
They just need user input options and it solves this problem. It will balance out those issues for everyone.

On my series X, i 'm not feeling there is any aim assist.

It’s because of how aim assist is activated in this game, you must be strafing and have your crosshair lined up to them, as well as having the red reticle active for it to kick in.
