I have a lot of hours in halo infinite 600 to be exact, and throughout these hours I have only played MK, and yes the game supports it and it is possible to be high ranking with just MK but the number of hurdles you have to climb to play the way you want is crazy and even when you do get high ranking playing with the input of your choice you hit that upper wall where the input you use matters. As I have played I noticed that Either magnetism or straight-up desync in the game is getting to the point where I have no reason to even want to play. With almost everything has aim assist or magnetism to some degree and the MK users get None of the extra help the magnetism provides to the gameplay of halo. and desync being such a huge thing there is never a way for Mnk users to shine since the precision that they are known for is almost useless when the game is different for everyone in the lobby. you can call it complaints or just opinion you can even say just go to the MK lobbies but the fact is most people who play halo should be able to play whatever input and still have a fair chance but when you play infinite the only thing you hear is that if your not using a controller then your never going to win. which should not be a thing at this point in gaming. From a competitive standpoint, the game will never truly thrive as it would if all inputs were equal this may not be a priority right now but the game would benefit from fixing these two major problems.,
True. There would be a lot more teams in competition (HCS) if MK wasn’t chalked. I know of 1 person competing on MK and he’s a former Quake Pro.
Even he couldn’t get past halfway in the open bracket on LAN.
I would agree with this. I have one issue with most people who complain (and rightfully so, complaining isn’t always bad especially when pointing out a flaw) about MnK being weaker than controller.
Most of the time MnK people say aim assist needs a nerf. I still have many friends and see threads on here talking about how Infinite has no aim assist. While wrong that is what it feels like it has none because it is so low even compare to pther FPS franchises and especially compared to older Halos.
MnK people just need to argue for some aim assist. I know its not popular but Infinite had only marginally less controller aim assist in the flights and people freaked because it felt like it wasn’t there and didn’t feel good. If they nerf it at all controller players just will not play because it will feel terrible. Therefore the only way to balance it is to give PC players just a tiny amount to help even it out.
Also fixng server and stability issues would help.
Aim assist is generally incompatible with MnK due to the fine motor movements of the mouse itself. It feels bad and naturally very difficult to overcome.
The issue boils down to Red Reticle Range and PC players artificially removed ability to rely on a mechanic that informs the player on opportune ranges of engagement that grants the most bullet magnetism and higher chances of functional interaction.
“Red Reticle” being removed isn’t simply a visual motif, it’s a functional mechanic. That’s really what needs to be added back.
@Freak_A_Fan wasn’t aware you didn’t understand basic Halo mechanics, thanks for making that clear
I could get behind that. I do not play MnK so i guess aim assist is a bad suggestion and maybe it needs to be bullet magnetism that is changed. That would not shift your reticle at all but still help land shots.
I do get why they got rid of the red reticle on PC and its just one of those things that makes you mad there are enough bad people and cheaters out there to ruin the experience for everyone by kind of forcing 343 to do this.
It just seems thats its a topic thats avoided instead, im not saying take away aim assist at all just either add magnetism to MnK or turn magnetism down some on controller or tweak the aiming system all together so the MnK people will have something to work with. I just feel even if its a small part of the community they should feel welcomed and have a fair chance to some capacity so the game community can grow as a whole with more players since its Accessible to all inputs
Huh? I play Mouse and Keyboard and everything seems fine to me. What am I missing? 
Is the sniper reticle force push still on MK?
Missing the idea in high level play MnK is not viable u may not have too many trouble lower level but when everything you can and cannot do really matters the feelings all begin to change
Especially with desync the game just becomes so much worse. it feels as if you have to have to greatest aim ever to even compete while everyone else around you just floating around and fighting I have to hope I can make it out of the first fight desync makes everyone’s aim seem god like but really they’re seeing something completely different on their end.
There’s no love for PC in general.
Game is a half effort console port. Hence why it plays so badly on PC, particulary for the open world campaign sections.
And why it has no PC specific options like
Ray tracing
DLSS
FSR
Etc
Maybe increase bullet magnetism for MK? Its the only viable solution honestly
Maybe let the players filter their input like people have been asking since the tech test and like it’s already working in MCC? If there aren’t enough people to support MKB only, tough luck and switch to another game.
That’s not a solution that’s a oh well good luck. we shouldn’t need a filter it should be a fair experience no matter what input. If someone who loves halo wants to play with MnK then they should be able to compete and play with their input.
This is why I gave up months ago, I believe January was the last time I played. I’ve been arguing this battle ever since the release of Halo Infinite. Most/a lot of roller players couldn’t accept that the game is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for them. “Nah bro, I’m just this good”. You also have/had the ones who will say aim assist doesn’t exist. I made a few videos showing just how bad (or good if you’re a roller player) aim assist is, still had players saying BS like “why doesn’t my aim assist work like that”.
I’m an amature bodybuilder and I swear I sweat more playing Halo Infinite on MnK than I do at the gym.
I swear if any feedback is heard I want this to at least be on the list because I feel the same way full gym work out and everyone else dancing.
