I have been watching some videos, and I can see a Doom Eternal influence. What are your thoughts veK veK?feels great for me
took me a minute to remember to aim with the left stick not the right (well, not exactly thats simple, but the idea is to strafe your target into your sights, not use the right stick to aim for them). obviously you dont do that all the time, but its an essential move if you get into a shoot out with someone in halo
but naw man, aiming feels great. especially coming form back 4 blood where to aiming feels like shit
Brother, I've been playing FPS since Wolf3D, and it is beyond me how ANYONE aims accurately and quickly in a fast FPS, like Halo, with goddamn thumbsticks. Best I can do is strafe them into my sights, still sucks compared to mouse.I have a base Xbox One and I'm using the Xbox series X controller and I'm finding it really hard to aim while playing Halo infinite. Is it because I'm playing at 30 FPS? Am I the only one who finds it really hard to aim on controller? I found the aiming to be very good on Halo 5 which was a 60 FPS game but I also found the aiming to be pretty good on Halo 4 which was 30 FPS so I don't understand why it feels so bad on Halo infinite? I mean the aiming feels so wonky I can't hit anyone.
Keep in mind Destiny is a 30 FPS game on Xbox One and aiming in that game feels solid. 343i has had six years to work on Halo infinite this is ridiculous!
Strafing is the only way I can aim well, using thumbsticks. Good god I'm glad more console games are starting to allow mice.feels great for me

Some people just like it better. I use an elite 2 controller for most PC games myself (NOT for FPS though, I'm not a heathen).Why use controller on PC? Just for the aim assist? I know A LOT of people use controller on PC for warzone/cod because the aim assist is OP.. is Halo similar?
People using a controller for an fps game... mazochists with cilice.I have a base Xbox One and I'm using the Xbox series X controller and I'm finding it really hard to aim while playing Halo infinite.

Oh nonsense. Crossplay is great. For 20 years, many console users have claimed thumbsticks are superior, now they can finally attempt to prove it. Besides, more and more console games are allowing m+kb. I have my PC hooked up to the living room tv, console style. With a wireless m+kb, comfy couch PC gaming is easy-peasy. So they can do the same with consoles after they discover thumbsticks are shit compared to a mouse (for fast FPS games). It's nice to have such a larger player base with crossplay. Plus, good enough auto-aim can make up the difference for mouse advantage.Yes but console still at a big disadvantage. Cross-play is one of the worst trends in the industry. It's a win for PC players and developers who now don't have to worry about low PC populations. While you can opt out as a console player, you will then have to deal with lower populations as the default is to have cross play enabled. Gaming co.panies have also been heavily marketing crossplay as some kind of win win when its not.
That is a rubbish argument unless you back the "thumbsticks are superior" people arguments with hard statistics on people claiming it to be superior.Oh nonsense. Crossplay is great.

Many times while winning a 1 v 1 battle another enemy teammate will fire from out of your line of site or throw a long range grenade. I’m no pro by any means but the most basic rule of Halo MP is when you spawn, find your teammates and stick with them.Played a little more before switching over to BF2042(more my cup)and while I don't see an issue with aiming per say I do feel like sometimes I'm.. pew pewingand the other player just..
I swear I'm dead on their heads sometimes body to head but I am always out matched. Anyways, just my issue with it, but it's personal.
That's because your skills on controller have begun to atrophy, put the settings for controller on default and sit down and play on controller all day like at least 10 hours straight and you'll find it's pretty easy to aim on controller, if not then practice for a few days you'll see. I'm the op I was complaining about the controller but I sat down and played for 10 hours straight and at the end I felt like a laser I was mowing people down. I guess I just needed some practice.I crush the game on PC and falter on Series X. Using the same Elite Controller
I can’t explain it but something is weird.
Hey it's me the op I finally figured out what's wrong, make sure the controller settings are on default and now sit down and play for 10 hours straight, I've been playing the game for a few days now and I think it just takes some getting used to because now I'm like a laser and I can just mow people down. It feels great now!Aim assist seems way too light. I’m finding it much harder to hit anything in Infinite than I do other Halos.
Hey you still there? Listen I put the controller settings on default and I've been playing the game for a few days now, today I sat down and played for about 10 hours total in between breaks, as they say practice makes perfect because now I felt like a laser and I was just mowing people down. It felt like Halo of ye' old! I've been playing Halo since the first one and I used to be like a laser and I could just own people, it felt just like that after playing for 10 hours straight, so I think it just takes some getting used to.I've given the secret on here many times. Bots. Go practice with those bots on the default difficulty level. Learn to stop panicking just because you've spotted an enemy. Don't wildly swing or overreact with your right analog stick while emptying your whole clip.
I've even posted my perfect controller settings here before, and I hesitate to post them again cause I'd like to keep advantages for myself lmao, but here goes.
Move and Look Center Deadzones, set those to 0.
Move and Look Axial Deadzone, set those to 4.
Look Sensitivity Horizontal, set that to 8
Look Sensitivity Vertical, set that to 8
Move and Look Max Input Threshold, default, which should be 10.
Look Acceleration, default, which should be 2.
Once you have those settings what you have to learn is this. There's no harm in taking your time and slowly moving your right analog stick into place to line up an accurate shot on an enemy. What I learned about Halo from the bots and then from playing real players is that, though players immediately begin firing off entire clips, many more times than not it's a front and they don't properly have you in their sights yet. Or usually they didn't at the start, so the damage they're doing is actually significantly lessened by the fact they've been missing. Don't swing your right analog wildly or panic. Take your time to move it into place, and fire accurate shots, and don't shoot unless you're actually going to hit something. A lot of the fights or 2 to 3 kill streaks I get come from people who finished off their whole clip and are then sitting ducks to me because I made my shots count and didn't waste them all. It's hard to get into the mindset, but treat them more like campaign enemies. I was able to learn all this and get much better by playing the bots on the default difficulty.
I've been playing all Halo's since the first one and this is the first time I have to adjust the controls. I agree with OP, it feels off.Like every Halo game you have to tweak it. Thankfully they give you a lot of options in settings to get it just right. Personally, I had no problem with just the default settings.
Polygon playing vr games.Where is this from!?
Haven't done my own testing, because I don't care enough about this game, but that video shows clear bullet magnetism from a previous build. You can still miss shots, obviously, it's not magic.
There's absolutely no way you play modern FPS games and can honestly say they don't have aim assist. For every keyboard/mouse player, there are eight controller players in these games. The last no-bullshit game that released was PUBG.
You played on PC most of your gaming life?Strafing is the only way I can aim well, using thumbsticks. Good god I'm glad more console games are starting to allow mice.
Hey it's me the OP, so when I first played the game yes I felt the aiming was really bad, but I have always played Halo with the default controller settings and all the previous halos felt fine so I was confused why Halo infinite would all of a sudden feel bad. I've been playing the game for days now and yesterday I sat down and played for 10 hours straight, and by the end of it I was like a laser just mowing people down, so put the controller settings on default and just keep playing till you get used to it, I hated it at first but now I think the default settings are fine it just takes some practice.The default settings are terrible IMO, just turn down all the acceleration, deadzones etc. to 0 and play just with the sensicity setting alone.
Both. I'm old, I started with Pong. I just don't like thumbsticks for fast-paced FPS.You played on PC most of your gaming life?
This. Coming from an old-school m+kb Quake addict, this is the only way I can aim with any success with dual thumbsticks. By the time dual thumbsticks became a thing, m+kb was too ingrained in me for It to ever feel natural.Not anymore it seems. Much improved. Also, try to preemptively get your cursor near your target and strafe instead of correcting your shot. Also go a low as possible with your sense and build your way up
Do you exactly compare it to mouse and keyboard or just to other shooter games ? Cause I can relate to playing multiple different shooter games and tell it's safe to say these shooter games "not just halo and it's not the first halo btw" are older and genuine tbh , easy aim is new to the gaming industry and I don't mean in the last decade or so , I mean hard aim was there before easy aim exist, if it's not your type then I don't blame you if you started from 5 or even 4 cause they just play like cod and I despise them for the sake of the trilogy and reach.I have a base Xbox One and I'm using the Xbox series X controller and I'm finding it really hard to aim while playing Halo infinite. Is it because I'm playing at 30 FPS? Am I the only one who finds it really hard to aim on controller? I found the aiming to be very good on Halo 5 which was a 60 FPS game but I also found the aiming to be pretty good on Halo 4 which was 30 FPS so I don't understand why it feels so bad on Halo infinite? I mean the aiming feels so wonky I can't hit anyone.

It's built for PC from the ground up now, controllers have less aim assist these days due to crossplay. KB+M has been heavily catered for with Infinite and matchmaking.
that is not really an issue, the real issue is that aim assist is literally broken and sometimes just turns off randomly, leading to ridiculously inconsistent aiming.
one second your aim will literally stick to your enemy's ass like a tick and a second later it will be completely gone randomly.
Yes I agree with that, both our comments are occurring. Controllers due to crossplay are missing a ton of aim assist now and after 20 years of it controller players need to relearn with less aim assist. It is also true there is some weird "randomness" to the current aiming. I've personally seen it short of jump and for me it almost always appears to jump up and left during aiming with the right thumbstick. It feels like too many inputs at once can cause a jump in reticule aiming.
You're so full of shit.In Halo controller is OP as fuck. there are stats that show that the average hit accuracy on Controller is about 15% higher than on Mouse... that is due to the ridiculously OP aim assist Halo has
it's the PC players on mouse that are really fucked here, especially since controller in this game feels like ass to use due to the absolute dogshit aiming it has, but due to the OP aim assist it's still the way to play if you actually wanna win.
the bullet magmatism on controller means that you don't even have to get your reticle on your enemy to hit him
You're so full of shit.
You bitch about the lack of settings when there are actually MORE setting than the vast majority of shooters. Also, aim assist in Infinite is very low compared to most shooters, and even previous Halo games, and magnetisim is almost non existent on consoles. It's actually only strong on the PC when you reduces the dead zones due to a bug.
You are also 100% making up the fact that controller users average 15% better accuracy than M/kb.
Stop sucking and you won't gave to keep making excuse for why you are terrible.
The servers are inconsistent. The game will say you have 30ms of latency, and then you hit a back tap on an enemy with no shield, get the animation and the sound, without them dying. Very annoying.Input in this game seems a bit screwed ATM. On PC Kb+M is all kinds of unreliable so I've switched to controller for the time being. Even then there are issues.
