I dunno if you know this but even a crouch is enough to seriously throw off a Mouse user which controller players have much better layouts for anyway.
There’s a lot of nuance to the differences between Controller and M/KB. Though Controllers overall are inferior despite having some situational mechanical advantages (overlapping inputs), aim assist can make a huge difference here over the speed and precision of a Mouse.
Maybe my point is not clear.
Cheating was my point.
Cheating is cheating.
Having an unfair advantage that is not available to others is cheating.
If everyone in the game could see through walls and did not have to aim but just pull the trigger that would be
fair (it would not be very fun because it would not take much skill, would it?).
If I have a pistol and someone else has a rocket launcher that is not cheating, I too have access to the rocket launcher. But for example, if they have tripple overshields and can see through walls all the time and I can’t - that is cheating.
Playing on a PC is not cheating.
I play Halo on PC and Console.
M&K is not cheating.
Controller is not cheating.
Modding the game from what 343 creates IS cheating.
I don’t believe that there are people outside of the xbox hardware designers and OS developers
that are already capable of hacking the xbox and OS code to run modified code on the xbox; but hey
maybe there is. It a whole lot more believable that the code can be modified on a PC than on an xbox.
I doubt that 343 is going to allow any programmers or modders to have a discussion about that on this forum or anywhere else - so I will digress from that topic.
I do not prefer to play on the PC because I do not have a 75" display with DTS surround sound.
I am sure that some people do.
But I do have a good set up for my xbox, so that is where I choose to play.
I hope I have made it more clear to all that this post is about CHEATING AND CHOICE FOR THE PLAYER.
AND NOT ABOUT PC OR CONSOLE OR M&K OR CONTROLLER BEING BETTER OR WORSE.
Nobody is doing a 180 flick head shot on controller… period. M&K can aim faster than the highest setting on controller (which I find unplayable anyway) but the bottom line is there should be a way to toggle crossplay. shouldn’t force everyone and ruin the experience.
It’s only unbalanced cuz I sux. Maybe cuz i’m so old, been playing halo for like 20 yrs. Sidenote, b4 the match starts , the countdown flashes but no longer beeps like previous halo games. Be nice to the hear beeping, so I know the match is starting so I can run back from the toilet. Lol.
You should check the statistics for accuracy, as other guy said here there a 10-15% advantage overall for console players, in my own experience its almost impossible to win any fair gunfight 1v1 against a controller player, I pretty much have to rely on pick ups, positioning, spawns, momentum and even with all of this its very hard to win any gunfight on higher ranks (diamond 6 and onyx).
It is true, its almost imposible to win 1v1 gunfights againts controller players with the BR, my highest aim percentage as mk player is 54% and this was just an anomaly, I play on diamond 6 and its just unfair, , have to rely on pick ups, positioning, teammates dealing damage for me, etc…
