I feel the same way about this game diamond rank 20 hrs played and the aim is just stupid once again they changed something that was good about halo but my opinion matters I’m a pro( Not) let me test the beta the aim is great let’s change it
Please understand, I’m positive that those of us who are not pleased with the aiming, are NOT trying to completely bash this game and throw it in the dumps. We really want to enjoy this game. I bought this day one with the mindset that the aiming mechanics would be solid, because it always has been in every Halo. Trust me, I want to play this game, because Halo MP is my go-to for competitive console gaming.
I believe the best way to go about this, if possible, is to allow two completely separate settings for the aiming mechanics. Have one setting be the one they have currently, and another setting that reverts the feel of aiming to any of the previous Halo’s. I feel that is the best option for both crowds. There are obviously those who have no problem with the new aiming (which is 100% okay!!!) but so many of us have expressed our disappointment with this obvious change and we want the aiming mechanics of classic Halo. I hope they do something like this, if so, damn this game would be amazing. Seriously, I would LOVE to play this game with the old Halo’s aiming. Please, 343, help us. I’m begging.
I agree that the aiming felt way better in beta. It was a lot better in halo 1-4 as well. I’ll adapt, but it feels off to me…
true the aiming isn’t consistant…it’s just garbage
Seriously, I feel as I’m the only person that doesn’t have an issue with this aiming in Halo 5 sometimes. Hell, I haven’t had an issue with it since Day one.
The Gunplay as well the Aiming itself, are Amazin. But i agree, sometime’s the Aiming acts strange, so i think the Aiming needs a bit tweaking!
But, and that’s why some Peaple here are so offensive up to the “critique” A lot of Critique here sounds a bit whiny and bashing: “Back than i was so good in Halo, and now i don’t kill enemys anymore T_T It isn’t my fault, because i’m a skilled player, so it have to be the Aiming, or Sprinting, or no BR start mimimimi”
And thats the problem. You can objectively and as Fact say, that the AR/Pistol starts are more Competitive and towards skilled play…people don’t care at all, because they fail. And than, other to look by yourself, to get used too, the people whine about everything. This is !Halo 5! THERE is an learning curve, like almost with every other Halo Game as well. If you played alot of Halo CE, it COUNTS nothing in Halo 2. In CE people are used to the Pistol. Use in Halo 2 a Pistol und you will see, this gun will not dominate the Game, but the Battle Rifle will…
People are so closeminded, because the Game is not from 343i, that i don’t see where fair Judgment in such critism is. But okay, Lil Boy Crispy at least don’t sounds like a Hater, and he say it an good terms thats why, i find it okay, also there is something true within it. But this childish Guy who acts really arrogant like “fix it on Thuesday or i leave”…Sorry but no, even if there is truth in that statement with the Aiming, such people like that the Halo Community don’t need it anyway so go and play something else!
Halo 5 is a Massive Game, which we hopefully play for Years until Halo 6 comes out. Even BTB, Forge, Season Playlists, Social Weekend Playlists etc aren’t out yet. And there is no helping to Rush things out if its an Game to be played for years. If it angers you so much, take a break. Soon there comes other good Games out and when/if they have fixed the Game for you, than you can come back every time(if you didn’t sell the game already, but if so its your own fault)
I find the aiming feels really weird as well, I liked the betas aiming much more and kind of wish that they went for that instead.
I don’t think I will be playing Halo MP much because the aiming is so unlike other FPS, that I’m concerned that by the time I get used to Halos aiming, I will suck at Destiny and other FPS that have a more fluid aiming.

EXACTLY!!! Here’s a saying that I think is relevant…
“Bad mechanics blame their tools!”
Seriously? Going to walk away from a top notch halo game (and it is top notch BTW) because “it doesn’t feel like it did back in…” Is rather immature.
I have ZERO problems with the aiming.
To all who say the aiming is wrong I’ll say this…
If you think you’re good at the previous halos. Show it on h5. It took you time to learn the previous halos sensitivities, Honestly what’s stopping you from learning h5 sensitivities?? Answer… Nothing to be honest.
Whinging on the forums about how you won’t/can’t be bothered or not as good as you thought you were isn’t going make you MLG now is it.
Just enjoy this excellent game ffs

I’m with you, the reticle goes haywire and I have to fight with the controls just to get a shot where I want it. For those who are expecting the average player to let 343i bug a system that hasn’t needed in the history of Halo to be redesigned like it has won’t be playing the game much longer either if a majority of its players have noticed this same issue and end up quitting. I’ve played a lot of first-person shooters and have always adapted to the controls easy, but none have had this much of a defected difference. At least with games like Destiny, Bungie actually listens to what its community wants and fixes most of its problems fast. I expected more from Halo 5, my only complaint is of course the aiming everything else I dont mind, it’d be fun otherwise once/if they resolve it.
I’m loving the aim mechanics. I struggled at first, but I’m really getting in a groove now. Perhaps it’s because I’m using the elite controller? The sticks are stiff and aiming feels precise. I love working for 4 shots now. H4 was too easy. Just my opinion.
There is nothing to fix. Get over yourself, you big crybaby. I swear, kids these days…
I will admit it’s annoying at times. There are sometimes when i’m near cqc range and I keep just barely missing only landing a single bullet for the last shot which isn’t enough and gets me killed. And then there are times at longer distances where when I try to keep a good bead on someone and the slightest adjustment makes me swipe completely over them. To the point that I don’t even want to try at longer distances.
Like I do decently well 90% of the time. But either situation happens to me often enough to be worth noting. I really hope they do something about it. It’s not enough to make me quit. But the sooner it’s addressed the better imo.

From what I’ve heard h5 has less aim assist slowdown. I might be wrong but if not then I’m guessing it sounds like your not used to playing without slowdown assist.

Halo 3 also had like double the kill times and weapons that weren’t pin point precise. If you missed one shot in Halo 3 you could out strafe your opponent and still get the win. In Halo 5 if you miss you are dead.

I’ve got a question for you. If they changed shoot to the “A” button would you be saying the same thing? There is an established formula for FPS in the market now. You don’t move around with the D-pad, you don’t shoot with “A”, you don’t add massive amounts of aim acceleration and dead zones to the thumbsticks.

It’s not the aim assist I have an issue with. it’s the aim acceleration. I have to push hard in close ranges to make big movements and barely touch it to make slight adjustments at longer ranges. This would work well actually. If it was all tuned properly. I’ve played a game before with dynamic aiming. BF4 actually has a system like that. except the player can fine tune it to work properly. even up to changing it to be different when ADS. Halo 5 does not have this. and is not tuned properly.

I know a bit about game design. the fact they already had the aiming correct in the beta means they can change it very quickly.

well, chalk up another halo thats going to die quickly. A few changes and this game could be great
they wont fix it they wanna kill this game that’s what they are doing. they make everything we love something we hate now. and they just want the game to end. after the next one.
I’ve got a question for you. If they changed shoot to the “A” button would you be saying the same thing? There is an established formula for FPS in the market now. You don’t move around with the D-pad, you don’t shoot with “A”, you don’t add massive amounts of aim acceleration and dead zones to the thumbsticks.
You jumped to extremes there! But to answer your question…
You overcome and adapt. You do realise that people have the ability to learn new things? The way people (I suspect a very high percentage are adolescents teens too used to getting their own way) have been banging on about it, thread after relentless thread… you would think it shutdown their ability to learn the new sensitivities because the old one made them MLG prozzz. (I know they think they’re good because bad players never whine about something they couldn’t do well on forums in the first place)
Just learn and practise and if you still can’t graft headshot after headshot then listen closely… YOU ARE NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK YOU ARE AND YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THAT FACT!!!
So all of you please stop flooding the forums with tears and enjoy HALO 5!
