It takes some time to get used to,but it makes it all the better to try harder to get even better at the game.I heard that I you have a big tv its harder to aim,smaller tv’s such as 27" and below are good to play with.
I’m certain that people just aren’t used to a low amount of aim assist. I know that I tend to overshoot things a little bit especially at close range because of this. Other than hat I’m having no major issues. I do think the turn acceleration should be dialed back a bit though.
i love the aiming, you have to be almost perfect with your aim to get the kill. halo 3 aiming was garbage cause you could kill them without actually putting your target on the person. Halo 5 aiming gets a 10/10 in my book. Kreygasm
HALOCOD 5 is the best

This ^^^ I switched from default to Bumper Jumper. Increase the learning curve in hopes that I stop focusing on the aim acceleration issue.

Why make maps with so many long-distance engagements when a single little pelt keeps you from ADSing alltogether? It doesn’t make much sense to me tbh. I don’t have a problem with close/medium distance.

I know what you’re saying and agree. This has made mid-long range battles more difficucult

dude look at the videos being posted everywhere it has nothing to do with aim assist

You can’t assume everyone plays the same as the pros. It’s an unbelievably flawed assumption. There are people who are slow and calculated. People who like to run gun. People who like to go CQC and melee a lot. People who love snipers and people who hate them. There is no unified way to play this game and attempting to force one style of play on everyone kills variety or - in this case - ends up annoying a lot of people.”

> Go look at the sprint season 3 ep4 they explain the aim assist. I only speak for my self when i say that i dont see or feel anything thats wrong with the aiming. Ive been playing since halo 2 came out, and i most say that i like the aiming better in halo 5 than in halo 3. There was just to much aim assist. When you had an br battle with someone then the aim could jump over to another enemy player. IF he was to close to the other. I have not felt that in halo 5 yet. Sorry for my bad english
I have run into this problem in Halo 5, it’s killed me twice now. Usually when the interfering player is landing a jump, aim assist will yank down on your reticle.

Oh dear, you have to aim in a FPS game? Golly gee!
The deadzones are too big. Really if they would cut those down I can live with the acceleration.
I I pretty much get little to no movement when doing my normal strafe dancing adjustments and that is the part that bothers me. I’m telling my controller to move the reticle slightly and nothing happens because the deadzones is too big. It kills snapping to targets for me personally.
Ive been playing this game for a long time and have always been a great shot. I simply am not going to play this game until they change the deadzones.
If this was a new franchise I would say ya all you whiners quit crying, but the fact of the matter is that it’s not. I should be able to pick up any halo game and while they may be different and span the better part of two decades, they should FEEL the same.
its harder yes…broken? No.
I accept that its different from what we have seen before, but that’s what I’ve wanted from 343, a new halo from a new company. Bungies game were the original, but unless 343 changed the landscape they would forever be compared.

Some people are just better than others. I still enjoy the game a lot even though I’m kinda bad.

You can as long as you aren’t holding down the aiming button. I play on bumper jumper so I don’t notice it as much.
The aiming is just Fine. Its still halo just with a bigger skill gap way better than before

I know there a lot of things in this game they need to fix. In my opinion, and its just my opinion, I love the older aiming system. I can see why they changed some of the aim mechanics to fight with the stabilize effect. But I do think they need to streamline it a lot better than they have.

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 can agree with you but I can’t at the same time. The aiming is hard to get used to and it’s a big change and trust me I love every halo maybe not halo4 but at least it’s different and a little more realistic. But what I’m worried about is how it’s gonna affect custom games like hot pursuit, castle wars and a bunch of other stuff
