Everyone I started playing with on mnk all switched to controller (even if they didnt want to). Sucks, really
The game is controller based. The company doesn’t have the experience of supporting MnK players unfortunately.
From what I hear from controller players playing this is they don’t seem to have the experience to make a controller based game feel good on a controller either ![]()
Regardless of whatever input you prefer to play on, its bad & the game has prolly lost thousands of players both sides of the fence due to the way input feels/handles.
How a games aiming feels is very often a first impression creator, nobody has had a good word about this games aiming feel from the start with any input.
Should be high priority to fix aiming on all inputs if they want to stand a chance of players coming back!
Plz can we get someone on here from 343 to comment on this? ![]()
I’m tired of making my own posts about it. I got to worry about so many other things when I’m drafting them, too.
Like sentence structure, which words are the right words. Worrying about the amount of background information in the post itself so people aren’t overwhelmed with info or too little to the point where they’re totally lost.
It is a PAIN in my -Yoink!-. At this point, I’m just reiterating what I’ve already said about the topic, but in a different way.
I just don’t feel like I’m reaching the peeps that need to hear it.
It really is a sad turn of events. I still play mouse and keyboard and some days i wonder why i even bother. The 1:1 aim is all jacked up, It feels like this game doesn’t have native input, the desync is trash, the mouse sensitivity needs to just be numbers from 0-100 with two decimal places and the zoom multipliers are confusing and broken. Those are just what is broken on the mouse and keyboard side of things. The AA in this game is over powered compared to the average accuracy numbers of a mouse and keyboard player. Either nerf the AA slightly or give mouse and keyboard players a little bit of bullet mag. Im literally just talking to a wall at this point it feels, but i love this game and this franchise and i really just hope it gets fixed one day.
I haven’t…
I agree with you completely. This game has lost thousands of players and it’s a shame.
The only reason I’m still on MnK is because the Nintendo Switch has spoiled me with gyro aiming and the xbox controller (the one I’ll use for some games on PC) is now the only controller without gyro. I tried to play halo with a regular controller and it feels weird now.
Until Xbox catches up and add gyro, I’m sticking with my mouse and keyboard even if I’m at a disadvantage.
What the game needs is an input toggle (and a crossplay toggle but that’s another discussion) like MCC has for search preferences. If players don’t want to play with people who play on the other input from them they should have the option to do so.
For me personally, I like to play with people on the same input as me as I know at least everyone is on the same playing field as me and the games seem more fair (to a degree) if I have a choice in the matter and this is the case with any game I play, not just Halo. At the same time if I do want to just jump into a game and not have to as long of wait times, I can just turn the toggle off but at least it’s my choice to do so.
It would also help with the arguments on which input is more unfair as at that point it will be completely optional for players to play against the other inputs from them.
I’ve been saying the same thing for years. Keyboard sucks for movement, thumbstick sucks for aiming.
Use neither. Use both.

Controller in the left hand, Mouse in my right hand. It’s been a thing since PS2, just nobody ever wants to try it
*Millions
started at 20 Mil now what? 10k? how many are playing on keyboard? 15?
Ranked already have it.
But 343 maid a « competitive » (they love this word) mode for the only community they had for a few years: controllers.
Including PC gamers is a failure. I played ranked mnk in season 1 and at the very end it already so difficult to get into a lobby. I was just a Plat but 90% of the time I had to follow the same 4 onyx still playing in my region into lobbies. Then I never had another match in mnk after that.
A selecting tool is important but the game has too many problems and lack of contents till the beginining that’s why pc community lefr.
Just buy a controller then realize that input device barely impacts skill, if a player wants to sweat their butt off in a casual game and ruin all the fun for both platforms, who are you to stop them. The game isn’t the issue, it’s the sweats
(y’know, the reason why you say “ohhh that’s why I stopped playing this game” every time you reinstall a classic shooter)
I agree! I would 100% always prefer to play with same-input players, unless one my friends uses something else and we’re playing together.
There is a massive PC update coming. Possibly around the holidays or early next year that will address a lot of issues including mouse and keyboard.
With that said Halo is and always has been a controller game. While I understand the importance of not alienating mouse and keyboard players the best course of action would be to add input based matchmaking to all playlists.
small wrong thing is that halo combat evolved from 2001 and halo 2 also have been release on the PC and not only on the xbox.
its after halo 3 there have stop release it for the PC and only release it for the xbox console’s.
since some off the pc community will bring that up since it has happing also on a few other threads.
why not let then comment on the lot of other things also.
and it most be then a comment from more in the way from we going do it or we going do it not.
since in the past there comments on things are also not that good to see where there are going with it.
We don’t have the population to support such a thing unfortunately
You can’t stop players like me from sweating. It’s muscle memory. We aim the best, move the best etc.
This nails it…

I don’t know how much this is worth but there’s a rumor floating around.
@IntoVaIhalla said something about an update that’s coming somewhere around November which is supposed to fix the issues with KBM.
According to his sources, that’s what’s happening. Just a rumor so take it with a grain of salt.
