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

That is probably input lag.

If your larger TV has it, try setting it to “game mode”

Sooooo…practice and adapt? Turn your sensitivity down? Lol

> 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…

I know. I mean its good they want to change how you play online, adding stuff and all of that. But they are missing how Halo online was, in my opinion the Halo 3 online was much better, if the can stick to that adding the new stuff of this game i think they could have a really bad -Yoink- multiplayer environment. But hey, its just me.

I have nothing to really say anymore.

I agree, the aiming is not smooth. It also makes the contoller more complex, which is not good.

im fine with low assist… just dont turn my sensativity up for me thank you very much i have it set on a setting for a reason.

Why are people so angry about some people thinking that the aiming in this game sucks? It’s like you are insulting a family member or something.

To those saying that the people complaining are simply not good as this new aiming “increases the skill gap” couldn’t be more wrong. As others have said the skill gap has actually decreased due to the fact that highly skilled players can no longer land every shot with the inconsistent aim acceleration and deadzones (just like bloom in reach). The fact that you need to learn to adapt to the new aiming doesn’t mean that it requires skill, it simply means you have a change how you aim in order to be decent at the game, and this applies for all skill levels.

If you don’t notice the aiming changes, you most likely aren’t a very competitive player unfortunately. I can notice millisecond input lag and cannot play on anything other than gaming monitor and a wired connection. Jumping back to Halo 4 or Titanfal felt far far more responsive and in no way did I feel like I was fighting the controls. Even though I can play H5 competitively, it feels awful and needs to change in order to get me to play it again. Super disappointed.

Basically this is a real problem for highly competitive players and if you don’t notice it, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t there. It is very obvious for those sensitive these changes, and even though you can learn to adapt to it, fundamentally it is a flawed system that at the highest end of skill, with inhibit the player every time. Really getting tired of reading these ignorant posts that cover these threads.

I feel like people are just picking random topics to be mad about, I don’t see any problems with the aiming, if anything it is improved.

how is the halo 5s aiming better than the time perfected halo 1-4s aiming? reasons nao

Why do you even need aim assist the whole point of a shooting game is being able to shoot and with shooting also comes aiming and if you have an assist you just took half the fun of a fps game. I think they should get rid of aim assist, if you can’t shoot someone without it, o well I guess you suck.

Can’t we all agree to adding an enable / disable option in the settings to either use it as-is or turn it off (with the minimal amount of aim assist and a linear increase in turn speed (no acceleration))?

That hurts absolutely no one that likes the current setup and mitigates the issues many people have had with the current control scheme.

What say you?

if i set it on a senativity and i run with that for years… i know how much i need to move the stick and how responsive it is. the game jacking it up throws a wrench in that whole system. i dont need assist when i know my sensativity responsiveness and turning speed.

It’s a great idea, more settings can’t hurt.

Agreed. We didn’t come to play Call of Duty.

i dunno, maybe you should just git gud at aiming, or git a gud internet connection

so its call of duty when the aiming is consistant? every fps and shooter that exists besides halo 5 is surely cod because of this

I’ve never heard people complain more about a game haha, if you don’t like it play another game. Or just don’t play Xbox? Or go get a programming degree, get a position at a company that makes the games and tweak it how you like from personal expirences. Don’t be bashing the company and their programmers please. They put time and effort into this and they love it
