Why is trickshotting not a thing in Halo?

I’m not complaining by any means. I’m just curious as to why those annoying 360 trick shot kids have never graced a Halo game? I personally have never done it in CoD nor do I ever want to but why is it so popular their and completely absent in Halo? You would think that at least a handful of these people would have eventually made their way into Team Snipers on Halo. I see people trying these stupid things in CoD like once every 10 games or so.

Halo does appear to have potential for it. Maybe the trajectory off of surfaces isn’t consistent.

Halo Mythbusters and Fails of the week have some nice footage of bullets bouncing off 3+ surfaces before killing the target. Sometimes the target is the shooter! Hilarious!

Obviously that footage isn’t intentional but still neat to see what’s possible.

It’s always been a classic.

It may be that CoD maps generally have less verticality and a generous aim assist so that these shots are much easier to perfect in that game. Just a guess.

The fact that cod is such an easier game and you can easily 1sk to the body is enough reason to want to do it in that game but a trick shot montage in Halo might actually be entertaining. 1080 no scope ricochet headshots? That would be interesting to watch. I guess since it’s so difficult to pull off in Halo that’s what puts people off of the idea. I might make a second account and play Team Snipers just trying to pull off silly snipes. What would a team even think if the 4 players they were facing were constantly taking lifts and doing crazy spins randomly shooting? I think I could have a ton of fun with this even going completely negative every game. I obviously wouldn’t want to do it alone though. I’m not trying to kill my teams fun.

It’s the simple fact that Halo takes skill and CoD does not. Those silly so-called “trickshotters” have no real skill, and Halo would be unforgiving for them.

Trickshotting was popular on halo before it was a thing on Call of Duty.

I would say a lot of the videos I make fall under the category of trickshotting, they just have vehicles doing a lot of the tricks.

Edit: I suppose I should read the whole post. 360 trick shots… I go for them off mongoose launches and I have seen a few montages of them in the past.
