So I got a key for the Halo3 flight.
Started the game, smooth af, looks crisp and no bugs as far I can say.
So I went into a social. First game mouse and keyboard it was a great experience, controls feel good altough the standard keybingings are pretty strange. Nostalgia flash of doom, felt like 12 again, thinking “wp”, “good job” 343 thank you for this game.
Now the drama begins…
Starting game 2 getting slapped, ppl hit every single shot specially in close- midrange. Feels like they are using an aimbot…
So I put my gamepad in and realize the … aimasisst is still overtuned af.
It seriously feels like youre using an actual aimbot, the crosshair locks on targets, it follows them, youre just supposed to move the stick into their direction and you get easy kills.
I know its a xbox port, i know its a xbox engine but pls turn down the aimassist. I want to play this game on my mouse and keyboard not on a xbox controller.
At this point youre clearly at huge disadvantage with a mouse and a keyboard on a game ported to the PC, which primary input method is the mouse and keyboard.
Atleast give us playlists only for mouse and keyboard players.
Btw im fine with an aimassist but not with one who is behaving like an aimbot.
lol please stop raging, i’m at the helm and i can tell you that unlike the other halos the aim assist is much less abused, now two things: Halo is a controller game, I played Halo on the controller for years and I don’t want to play keyboard mouse for your beautiful eyes. 2 nd thing, if you consider yourself to be disadvantaged you only have to play controller, toli and you alone choose this handicap and nobody forces you to remain keyboard mouse and I would end up, “the disadvantage vis-a-vis the controller is abused” you can keep it to you, we tell you nothing when you have a sniper us because you are clearly at an advantage and I know very strong keyboard mouse players who do not miss their shots doc trains you and stop rage or goes on fortnite / call of and j 'on the way.
We beg for aim assist nerf since Reach launch and it’s still deep bottom of their priority list which says a lot about what they think about us and their vision of ‘success’. How long are we going to be forced to play swat and snipers which are the only playlists where mouse can actually beat controller without constant sweating.

343 is adding in an input based matchmaking system in the future, that should level the playing field a bit. This update will also come with crossplay for people on PC who are using a controller.
Aim assist is fine, and necessary for console. Obviously.
BUT, OP is correct. The aim assist on controller is beyond absurd and people like FDL StarzCrime are incredibly biased, just read that verbal diarrhea above. Watching people snap shot with controllers during last night’s SWAT matches was basically GTA 4/Red Red 1 levels of stupid.
Without aim assist, M&KB have an advantage, with a literal aim bot controller has the advantage. Shouldn’t be too difficult to find a happy medium for MP.
Ok guys, not like we haven’t heard these complaints enough already! Anyway if you have not read the latest Dev. blog, 343 is going to be eventually be adding in Input based matchmaking to the game but do not know when that will be (its been added to development). So at this point you guys need to be patient for them to get it in. We may not see this until Halo 4’s launch, although now with how important Halo 3’s launch is going to be for the first impression of the retail release, I wonder if it would be better if 343 made this a big priority for release coming up soon… If input based matchmaking does come, it needs to be restricted to Ranked/competitive gamemodes and maybe certain modes like SWAT and Snipers in Social. 343 should save some modes for mixing inputs for trying out your inputs in multiplayer games if you have both available.
I play Mouse and keyboard and going against controller users isn’t even that bad… They need it, twin stick controllers don’t have fine tuned aiming like mouse does. Keep it how it is.
Lol, you say anything, it’s a point of view and mine is you who say -Yoink-. I repeat it I know people very strong at the keyboard mouse, who miss only very little shot, go train in octagon if necessary, but good considering your speeches you must not have the level to know this way of s 'train. Then do not forget that you, you play with an arm and a wrist, us a simple finger, if you make us zoom out a simple movement of the finger make us do anything on the screen it is much more sensitive and therefore a lot harder to manage than your mouse, train and never miss a shot and stop crying while looking for ease and I added to finish again that it is you who choose to play like this, if for you it is a handicap and bah play controller and point, stop making the mourners.
The title of this thread does not bode well for it being taken seriously.
My friend group has taken to sticking mostly with Halo 1 and 2 for now. Halo 3 and reach required enormous amounts of aim assist to run “smoothly” on the Xbox hardware, and porting the aim assist directly creates a fundamentally unbalanced game. I’m not great and not bad at any of these games (love all of them for different reasons) but the difference in my KD between 1-2 and 3-Reach is extremely significant.
The playlist segregation seems like a less-than-optimal solution to me. I want to play with everyone. Aim assist needs to be in these games just… very slightly reduced. 15% or something would very much bring it in line with Halo 1 and 2.
It seems fairly obvious that those requesting no change in aim assist are enjoying the advantage, from the juvenile responses so far. At least we have SWAT I guess?
One more thing - getting Theater back is freaking AWESOME thank you guys!
As someone who goes back and forth between both regularly? I honestly don’t agree on this. Not with Halo 3. Reach? Yeah. H2? Definitely. H3? I believe that KBM has a much better chance in this title due to how the weapons act. The spread, projectiles. Personally, I’m finding it easier to lead and hit my shots on KBM than controller. I’m more tuned to the controller, by the way. I have a longer history of it and old habits die hard. My point still stands that with H3, KBM is actually almost at equal ground.

I’ll mention here that I’ve only used MKB and spoken verbally with people who have done both, good to know though. I did not get the feeling that H2 was super bad, but maybe I’m just more used to it.

Oddly enough, I can use KBM just fine on Cartographer. H2 MCC feels weird for me. Could be my hardware. Dunno.
