Well my friends, I'm done with this game's aiming

CLARIFICATION:
I am NOT referring to aim assist
I am NOT referring to smart link/ADS
I am NOT referring to any bugs or glitches
I am strictly referring to AIM ACCELERATION and DEADZONE(S) that are programmed into the game’s aiming mechanics.

23 hours of arena, Onyx 1614 FFA rank, 149 games, 2,174 kills, 53.7% accuracy, and 6.3 FFA kda later…I’m done with this game.

I keep hoping this is just a bad dream and that I’ll wake up from it, but it’s real. The aiming is garbage. I still have not gotten used to it. It’s just awful. I know I don’t need to go into detail about how bad these aiming mechanics are, because so many other people have expressed what’s wrong, but it’s nothing like any Halo before it. Why change what was NEVER wrong with Halo? Every game in MCC feels amazing, as far as aiming is concerned. Going back and forth between different Halo games on there is effortless and I’m always confident that my shot will be on. This game is just wonky as hell. I can’t even begin to express my disappointment with the aiming mechanics. I really hope they listen to us and make this game feel like EVERY game before it. And not just a little deadzone tweaking or accel tweaking…it needs a 100% revert back to how we all know Halo is supposed to feel. It’s just not a fun game. I gave it a legitimate chance after 23 hours of play, but it’s still bad. There’s just no getting used to the aiming in this game. So much potential…damn…

If they don’t fix it by Tuesday then I’m done with this game. Aiming makes an already crappy Halo game even crappier.

I don’t have a problem with it. Yeah it’s tougher than before but what’s wrong with that?

It’s not about the lack of aim assist. We’re all grateful for that. It has to do more with the amount of aim acceleration. If you played the beta, I’m sure you can agree the aiming felt much more fluid. Now though, I feel like I’m fighting with my controller in order to aim properly.

It’s completely unnecessary. Why make it tougher to use a core mechanic of a first person shooter? Snapping on to targets is much more difficult with this multi sensitivity dead zone nonsense!

Then I guess you won’t be playing Halo anymore. Not such a simple fix but I’m sure you know that since you seem to know so much about game design and aim mechanics :slight_smile:

Woah don’t hold a gun to the head of 343i. What makes you think you’re so important for 343i to give a -Yoink-? Seriously, I hope by Tuesday all you spoilt kids leave Halo and these forums.

Sounds like you know more then me. Tell me why it’s so such a simple fix.

Because I’m not the only person that thinks the aiming is atrocious. And I pick Tuesday because it’s the usual release/patch/update day. If they don’t fix it then I’m not playing a broken game any further. That’s all I’m saying.

It just seems a bit tougher to get head shots. Sure it will take some getting used to but I welcome new challenges in Halo.

I haven’t had many problems with the aiming so far, but if it’s as much of as an issue as you guys say it is, Hopefully it’ll be fixed in a future update.

Some people are too stuck to older games and when change comes, it’s a bad game and instead of adapting to it, the just flame it and walk away

The only issue is the players themselves, too -Yoink!- ignorant to adapt to change and instead of learning the new curve, they head to the forums to let people know that they dislike the game because it’s “too different”

I took a break from halo over the past year and played alot of destiny, which is basically 100% aim assist, so im still getting used to it
I dont think there is a problem with the aiming, i think it just makes it alot more rewarding to get those perfect kills

I love the aim mechanics. Just cause something is not easy, does not mean it is trash

For people like me we can’t just unlearn 10+ years of playing. I can aim fine but it doesn’t feel good personally and I hope they fix it

I’m playing just fine. But the aiming is definitely wonky, I’ve always had spot on aiming in any game I’ve played since H1, even PC lol. Hell the Beta was baby smooth and I was insanely dominate in the beta, this aiming is just weird. I can’t completely figure it out lol. It’s so inconsistent

Exactly!

I love the aim. I’d be really disappointed if they reverted it back to older Halo style. I prefer Halo 5.

Just how???

It’s so bad. It’s laggy like my reticle I’d bring dragged through mud. And then the next second it decides to go super fast
