Came here to post a bunch of this. Everyone's on a level playing field here. It was a little "different" at first but now feels like home. Wouldn't want it changed. Feels so good.
What setting do I need to use to fix this in the game?There's also an entirely separate problem with the aiming, which is that the velocity curve has been tampered with. It's something like this:
...instead of a linear relationship. This means you get unexpected bursts of reticle movement. I could theoretically fix this if I bought an Elite controller, as that's one of the tweaking options. But that's crazy.
It's not an issue of narrowing the skill gap, either. I just want consistency.
Are you saying aiming does not work different in halo?
It certainly doesn't control like say...COD/battlefield or Destiny
To a person new to the series or who has not played in years...

Wut?
So if that's a design choice, cause they believe its better giving the feedback they received, then they're confirming it is broken?
I'm not following you mate. LoL
It feels bad, IMO. I feel like I'm fighting the controls to play the game.
Because it is tarnishing their favorite games name , and a story may be written about it, and you know Clark Kent syndrome
It's understandable
To me one minute the controls are fine the next they are not, I'm too busy dodging 5 billion grenades to really have it bother me this much, people said COD was a frag fest, geezus
I just change sensitivity from 7 to 5 then back to 7
It's annoying when it happens though

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
lmao some of these posts. Fist couple of page, absolutely embarrassing. Its like MS 343 ran over their dog and want any chance they get get to shit on them religiously.
And @ people complaining about how they suck because of this design choice, isn't this same for everyone. You and the person who killwd you.

Agreed but so far I have found the pistol and hand cannon (Destiny) to be play very similarly. It probably has something to do with me not using ADS.

Am I on N4G or NeoGAF or does it even matter?

No. It's just because the title is totally misleading the true story. And you certainly can understand that!
Well... i rather there be various ways to aim than just catering to one side. The elite controller looks like it could allow this which is exactly what i want. So, i'm good.
I want to know why they went with this curve rather than a linear one. I want to hear their reasonings...

seriously, why hasnt there been a title change yet?
I am surprised why some of these click bait/bad titled threads have not been locked before they start getting out of hand. The review ones get extra salty as it is already.
Starting to feel the vibe from the bolded above as well. As some people will grasp at straws and then some people will go and run with it. =/
i couldn't get into destiny though I wanted to. just wasn't my thing. i may eventually though. just seems like it's too much of a time sink and I'd rather sink it into this.

Broken? I doubt all the overwhelming positive feedback means it's "broken". Should this be tweaked? Sure. But the aiming is far from broken.

Seconded. The only time I struggle is in very close-quarters but I've always had that problem.

I think some people need to calm the hell down, I don't know why they're over reacting so much. If they think the aiming is "broken" that much, then switch to another game and play that whilst this gets "fixed". Not a big deal; don't understand the melodrama. I thought GAF was better than this. The crapping on 343 in the past week has been getting out of control IMO.
That's gaf logic.

I haven't either. That's why I have a hard time with the term broken. It's far from broke.
On another note, the learning curve is pretty hard. It's not what I would call easy...definitely a high skill shooter.
what a drama queen.
yea, some people will use any excuse to shit on 343i. they said they're looking into it, what else do they want?

That's interesting because I was just having this conversation with my friend yesterday. Not about Halo but aiming with an Xbox 360 controller on PC, in general. I asked if he has issues aiming diagonally, to which he agreed. My controller is perfectly calibrated, too, and only a few months old. It's also wired. So now I just chalk it up to the 360 controller having less precision than a DS4, or even DS3, when it comes to analog movement. It's also like this with every single PC game I've played.
Its how aiming works for everyone in halo 5...
SP probably right. MP is as good as any Halo game to date.

tell me more
These people, who never owned this game, sure feel that their favorite game is being tarnished:
Maybe not generalize people next time? Because I've seen you use this logic everytime to defend everything.

The other post should of came out and said Nintendo, Sony fanboys plus PC gamers need to stop because that's what he's saying. But ironically, the OP wasn't made by either one. Have Halo fans really gone over the top that any criticism levied by anybody on this site is coming from those who has never even play this game? Seriously? That's the angle?
As far as I'm concerned... I though proof was more prevalent on GAF than blanket statements because assuming something sincerely makes an ass out of yourself. Nothing in here is screaming any fanboys jumping on anything outside of people familiar with the game who hate what it is now.... Get over yall self. It's never that serious. And it's starting to get real annoying that some of you guys can't DEAL with exposure on issues.

No, but when there is a thread title is as misleading as this one you know there's going to be people pissed off.

Honestly, when u play a game for a long time you get used to it. Its hard to see the little problems when you know it inside out and have been playing it this way for a long time. That being said, first thing i noticed was that. I started the campaign and i remember struggling with just putting my reticule on the enemies, i always overshot them. But, i got used to it.
There's nothing wrong with calling things out. It's the added hyperbole, like calling something broken when it isn't the case, that makes discussion turn into defending a game.
If it's annoying you, it's obviously a little serious to you too.
Well it's significantly harder than past halos and if you aren't that skilled, you're gonna have a bad time until you get used to it.
I've been playing the game for a long time and I never noticed this bug. I tend to get 15+ kills a slayer game so maybe I'm just used to it now?
It's not that big of a deal and it's certainly not the reason anyone sucks.
If you're good, you're good, if you suck, you suck, the bug is not gonna make any difference. Blaming it is ridiculous, IMO.

What's misleading about it if there is an actual issue with the way the aiming is in the game? Maybe it's not broken, but if it's off its off. No one has been bashing Halo harder than actual Halo fans? Who even found this issue in the game though? Come on....

the pro players made it this way lol
Yes that's fine but like I said to someone who has not played halo in years or ever , it's a huge adjustment and would explain his kdr
I mostly play ADS shooters, it's taking me a lot to adjust
