When in MCC matchmaking my weapons dont fire when engaging the enemy. Its like there is a hidden rule that the enemy must hit me with shots first before my gun will fire. If the enemy has no clue because I shot them from across the map or in the back then there is no issue. When we are sparing around a corner and we are both aware my weapons will not fire until fired upon. Of course this is extremely problematic!! What gives. An FPS is not fun if you take away the “S” in FPS. Yes thats right, I would like to have the ability to shoot!!!
We are going to need a bit more info before the Community can start helping you. If you could tell us what platform you play on and maybe provide a clip or two so we could get a better understanding, that would be a big help in letting us help you. Does this irregularity only happen in PvP or does it occur in PvE modes as well?
I agree with what was stated above. We will need more information to be able to better help you. A video clip would be great too! Could you please reply back to the following questions?
- Which device do you play on? (PC/Console) - What is your input device in-game? (M&K / Gamepad) - Does this issue happen in multiplayer only or does it happen in campaign too?
I’ve been playing Halo since 2005, started on H2. Im well aware of how to play and the tweaks that I can make on my side of the game. With that said, you should know by no means am I knew to the game. I’ve spent countless hours on ALL versions since H2.
My Setup: XBox S (slim white version) 78% HD full & wired directly to router, Elite controller wired through the USB to box. 200Mbps+ internet speed, 33msec ping on the latency.
I only play Matchmaking, rarely play campaign. I also usually only play on weekends. I have noticed the game plays much smoother on non-weekends.
What Im describing does not happen in the campaign. It also doesnt happen in matchmaking until I encounter a player who is aware. Weapons have no problem firing instantly when Im off by myself and just shooting stuff on the map. As soon as I encounter someone and try to shoot them, the weapon is delayed. Its a relatively new issue. I have no clue how I could show a video with timing between when I press the button and when the weapon actually fires. There are times when it will not fire until I hit the button 3 times. I could show a video of the encounters, but it would just look like Im letting the other players just shoot me.
it is not my controller as I have swapped it out and the same problem with another. I fully believe it to be on the server side of the game. My friend who has also been playing for 16yrs has experienced the same thing but not as often. Only when he links up in a party with me.
Does this happen on all game titles in Matchmaking or just a specific title?
Happens only on H5.
