Hello, I play Halo Infinite on the base Xbox One console that first came out in 2013, but I use the Xbox Series X controller. Now when I first started playing the Halo Infinite multiplayer beta I thought the aiming was terrible, it was so hard to put the aiming reticle on the other players, I mean the aiming felt broken! But I kept playing everyday and indeed my aiming got to the point where my average accuracy in matches was between 35% to 42%. But after playing for a few weeks, I suddenly realized the aiming still didn’t quite feel right, like it still felt a little wonky when aiming, didn’t feel nice and tight, felt a little wonky to me.
That’s when I decided to pull my Xbox One controller out of storage and decided to try it out and see if there was a difference between the Xbox One controller or the Series X controller when playing Halo Infinite on my base Xbox One. Now guess what, the aiming on the Xbox One controller felt perfect right off the bat! It didn’t feel wonky at all, it felt perfect. And I have the evidence to prove it. Now even with the Xbox One controller my accuracy in matches is still on average between 35 to 42% but I can score higher in the weapon drills with the Xbox One controller than the Series X controller.
So, there are three weapon drills for the VK78 Commando rifle, in the second drill I can score 13,375 using the Xbox One controller, (look at the attachments I provided a screenshot of the highest score that I can only get with the Xbox One controller, well it says new users cannot upload photos, oh well just take my word for it then) but the highest score I ever got using the Xbox Series X controller is 12,250. And listen, I will play for a couples of hours with the Xbox One controller and with it the aiming feels perfect, then I will switch over to the Series X controller and I’m telling you there’s something wrong with it, it feels a littler harder to hit people, it doesn’t feel perfect at all, feels kinda wonky when trying to aim at people, I’m telling you there’s a difference, it’s subtle but there’s a difference between the two controllers.
And this is only with Halo Infinite I was playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019) on my base Xbox One with the Series X controller and the aiming felt perfect as far as I could tell. I’m telling you there is something wrong with Halo Infinite. I mean I have spent many hours now over the last several days playing that same weapon drill for the VK70 Commando rifle and I cannot score any higher than 12,250 with the Xbox Series X controller but I can score over 13,000 with the Xbox One controller. But there shouldn’t be a difference between the two controllers so I’m totally confused, this has to be an optimization issue, right?
Please I’m not making any of this up, I really want to get this fixed, this is actually irritating me because I never thought there would ever be a difference using the Series X controller with the Xbox One, but apparently there is (at least with Halo Infinite).
