For me it’s the bad aiming controls on controller input. It’s terrible. Unplayable. Slow, unresponsive, unnatural, clunky, it’s a chore to do anything, turn around pick up a gun, look left or right, track a moving target, it’s all garbage. Sensitivity needs to be doubled or tripled, because 10 is terrible and I’m tired of trying to make it work when I’ve been a flick aimer for the last 10 years on controller.

I am a PC gamer but I have connected an XBOX controller to play. To be honest, halo 3 matchmaking in the past and seeing the matchmaking draught, I am 100% for cross platform. I haven’t experienced aim assist playing on an XBOX controller and I haven’t felt that I’m at a disadvantage playing cross platform.
Also, what are the advantages of playing with a keyboard and mouse? Is it jumping and aiming? (Using Bummer Jumper on the XBOX controller lets you jump and aim). Or faster turning around? (sensitivity & acceleration in settings?)
u need to change you controller settings in the menu, there are a few on youtube that had ideal set ups, there is definitely aim assist for controllers
I assume its a thing for launch because PC just has a wider market because of how expensive consoles are getting to where a Desktop can seem managable in order to get more function. I personally would love to get both Xbox and Playstation so I can play games on either side but its very expensive so I stay Playstation for the exclusives, especially since I play really only Single Player games. I love how PC is getting some of the Xbox library but this of course has caused issues like what you mention, it is likely things will be like the MCC where gradual support for both sides will come, just with a focus on PC now since it’ll be easier to manage this side due to outside support as PC can actually dig deeper to find the issues going on so Modders would be able to help point out what needs fixing with their own personal patches until 343 gets to it, its just a matter of giving it time post launch.
Could not have said it better myself. It’s a huge disadvantage. I think at this stage the crossplay feature is permanently enabled to gather data and player feedback and I strongly believe the toggle option would not exist unless it could later be used. I guess for now we have to accept that for PC and Elite controller users the pistol is an SMG.
I agree on top on improved aiming on PC since there’s no enemy collision they can run through you and turn a 180 infinitely faster than you can
Curiously, I’ve noticed their “Known Issues” shows PC as the very first list and has Xbox all the way at the bottom. It could be coincidence, but adds some wonder if they are more biased to the PC. Just a thought.
From a PC player, x-play is great. Watching console players turn like they are in a pot of syrup will never get old.
and not forget in the past few game’s that have been release with crossplay function has show that the risk about cheaters in the match’s are always from the pc side and also have a high risk and that a lot off concole players are not happy about it and more turn off the crossplay option since there not trust the pc players any more with the high risk off cheaters there are.

I mean…I’M having fun.
I’m a casual PC player on MKB who can’t hit anything that strafed in this game.
Plug in my son’s switch controller and do really well. Obvious aim assist on controller that PC doesn’t have. It doesn’t feel the same as MCC controller aim assist, but it’s there.
I can’t comment on how good or bad the controller aim assist is as I’m not an experienced or competent controller user, but as a long time halo fan who now prefers MKB for all shooters and loved MCC with MKB, I’m having a horrid time on MKB with precision weapons.
Again, being a MKB player, I don’t want to ruin anything for controller users. My comments are just to show that I can plug a switch controller in mid game and immediately start slaying Spartan bots where I would be outshot by ODST bots on MKB.
First we need input based matchmaking. Immediate fix for balance issue.
But then I’d like some aim assist on MKB to feel like halo again and to compensate for the extreme strafe speed. I don’t want extreme magnetism on skill based precision weapons, but some tracking and slowing in red reticle range would be greatly appreciated.
Considering buying a wolverine controller to play this game. I am currently thinking MKB for campaign on legendary (less strafing enemies to deal with), and controller for multiplayer to take advantage of AA and magnetism. I wish I could just play on my prefered input device against higher level bots or casual players - I’ve got little interest in ranked, but currently controller is far superior in my opinion, and keep in mind I’m incompetent on controller and comfortable on MKB.
Not here to play in MKB vs controller fights, both sides seem to be blaming each other now. Obviously some aim issues on both ends and I can only comment about MKB as im not experienced enough with controller to know if anything feels off as all thumb sticks feel off to me 
… But MKB is definitely off compared to other titles.
From what you say I think it is you who have never played Halo before today. Among other things, I see that you signed up 4 days ago. It is useless for you to try to tell us who have been playing this game for a lifetime, what this game is.
I’ll explain something to you. Our problem is that for 20 years we have been playing a game made for the controller, with console game aim assist like other games. Now we should adjust to having less. If we go into the solo / duo playlist there is no aim assist anymore, the game is always the same.
The fact that some are okay with the controller despite everything doesn’t mean it’s okay with most people.

Sorry mate, being playing halo for 15 years. Just play PC now, created a new Xbox Gamertag for MCC on PC, and created a waypoint account for infinite feedback 4 days ago. But experienced halo vet.
I don’t want to play into the PC vs console debate. Halo was made for consoles, but I enjoy it more now on PC. No reason both devices can’t be looked after, especially with (hopefully future) input based matchmaking.
I don’t want to complain about my controller homies, I’m just here to give feedback for my PC homies. We’re all complaining about aim too. Feels off on MKB. Sorry controller guys are struggling too.
I’m only able to function on 2.5 sensitivity because my controller skills are trash, but have found aim assist and magnetism still an advantage over MKB where I’m comfortable on high sensitivity with full acceleration on. I don’t think it should be that way. I’m not after a nerf to controller aim assist, I’m after some help on PC where it’s very difficult to track the quicker strafing targets in infinite.
I want your aim on controller to get the attention it deserves just as I want aim on MKB getting the attention they deserve. Both need work, both need to feel more like halo. They should both feel good and natural in input based matchmaking before they even think about balancing cross play IMO.

What I’m saying is that while I’ve found controller an advantage over the MKB, because controller isn’t an input I prefer or am any good or experienced at, I can’t give a qualified opinion on whether controller is functioning properly.
If you guys who prefer controller want to give feedback and see improvements, I don’t want to get in the way of that, all power to you I’m on your side.
What I’m saying is that the lack of any aim assist is making MKB very difficult even against ODST level bots. In my experience jumping to an input I’m hopeless at (controller) I’m still seeing immediate and drastic improvements, which isn’t to say controller is functioning well as I’m not qualified to speak on that, but to say that MKB isnt where it needs to be for us MKB fans.
I hope that clears things up. Both sides want changes and there’s no reason 343 would need to choose one over the other.

So on the MCC if you have crosplay on and look at the top players on each of the team and there profiles it shows there PC players 85% of the time. But don’t take my word for it go try it yourself if you think I’m lying.

I’m trash when I x play with my kid who uses a PC. I’m much more competitive in the controller only game modes. In H5 and H4 I can trash my kid but in infinite he’s kicking butt while I am a burden to the team.

Dumbest argument ever. Ttk has 0 to do with a br battle with strafing, ducking, jumping. You must be the bottom of the barrel if thats ur excuse.

The longer i play, the more obvious it feels like it. Auxiliary aiming is not the most important, the most important thing is that 343 limits the sensitivity of control
