This aim issue hasn't bothered me at all yet, but I seem to be the only player in every match who can't hit a target at long range while others can perfect me in return, lol.

Halo 5 aiming system: the good, the bad (or bugged with new controllers?)
- Thread starter Conflict NZ
- Start date
Wait, If Halo 2 multi was trash to you and 343 are hacks who ruined halo, what the fuck do you consider good? Halo 5 multi is the most fun my friends and I have had in a shooter in MANY years.
How would it explain is kdr when every single person has the same aiming issue? The game isn't even a week old. So everyone is a new player to it.

If the game has a different aim assist than normal, where are all these blanket statements about other fans of other consoles and blah blah blah coming from? Why is this something always being said as if generalization are something that getting free passes on GAF. That's the only part that's serious to me because it's starting to get real annoying.

Just because you don't like a design choice
Doesn't mean that's it's broken. Maybe it's because I have the elite controler but I'm
Not not having trouble landing head shots. I will say the aiming feels different but it's not game breaking at all.
Honestly the thread title seems very inflammatory like you want to start drama. Saying it will be looked into and another Dev Saying its a design decision in no way shape or form equals broken.

Are people even reading what they are writing anymore?
And as for the last part I bolded, there is a massive difference from people who own the game and are offering constructive criticism to those who maybe don't and are bashing the game as you put it. What do you think is going on with the majority in this thread?
I thought something felt a little weird when playing Halo but didn't notice it nearly as much as Splatoon. Goddamn, the aiming in that game felt like shit.
It feels different then beta, which seemed perfect to me, but its too early for me to say this aiming is worse. It's taking an adjustment but I'm not having any trouble landing shots.

Dear lord, just change the title already so people can stop crying about its apparently malicious intent.
"Halo 5 players discover aiming anomaly. 343 acknowledges and investigates"
Big fucking difference lol
Edit: oh it was actually changed when I was writing this to something even better lol

It's not off. It's exactly as designed/programmed, correct? What's off to everyone is their thumbs. Not broken. Not off. Not wrong... or right.
It's working as designed. If it doesn't feel good to you the problem isn't the game. The vast majority isn't having any problem.

I felt the same but literally today played a couple of games and felt like it had clicked overnight. Stick at it!
I think it's a bullshit title because it reads like 343 have been inept in some way but in fact they've (as explained) designed, tested and delivered a system that they feel suits their game. It's hard for me not to perceive this forum as being down on everything Xbox, so perhaps it's through the eye of the beholder but I think people should give 343 a break, H5 is great!
"Halo 5's aiming is broken" is not the same as "343 have come up with a new aiming system for Halo5, it might take some adjustment."
This is because H5 has lower aim assist than the other games. "Fixing" this is not going to improve your aiming that much.

This is what I've been saying in the OT. Aiming is cripplingly slow and awkward compared to other shooters, even past Halo games.
I won't play the game until they fix this and up the maximum sensitivity.
So you're saying we're all bad? Please. It's an issue when Halo 5 has vastly different sensitivity than other shooters on the market.

Yeah, this too. Halo has a special kind of following at gaf.

Maybe they did say something and 343 ignored it?
After the Halo 4 weapon balancing fiasco, I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm on like mission 13 now? Yea, you can cut the crap. Halo has never been this fucking amazing. Halo 5 comfortably leaves every other Halo title in the dust as far as I'm concerned. The gameplay is by leaps and bounds better than anything the franchise has ever seen, and I'm loving - and I do mean absolutely loving - that they chose to 'go there' with the story. If people have read the books and other lore what's happening is even more exciting and makes complete sense.
I love the direction they are taking the franchise, and it brings a whole new meaning to the term 'reclaimer. What's transpiring in the game's story changes the halo universe forever, just as they said it would. If there were ever any doubt at all that Halo was in the right hands, Halo 5 has effectively answered and confirmed that nobody but 343i should be handling this franchise's future.

If you can't easily adapt, I can see why you might be frustrated enough to call it broken, but, clearly, there is a healthy number of players who don't share this problem when they can achieve consistently good performance. That said, I do think offering more options for sensitivity and acceleration is reasonable and fair.

Not many are offering constructive criticism but are mostly confirming if they are okay with it or others basically posting that they've realized how much more they sucks because of it (right?) but that's not my point. Regardless if it's criticism or not or straight bashing... Generalizing folks by saying, those who are coming super harsh on 343 are people who own other consoles or this is just GAF as a whole lot need to stop. I've been reading every Halo thread to learn about the game and it seems that jump is always assumed the minute someone criticize the game or make some hyperbolic statement; it's this GAF shitting on MS week or some other fanboy stuff? Where is this even coming from?
Anyways... I'm over this. I wanted to see in which way the aim was broken and learned it wasn't exactly broken but a design choice.

Some people need to realize they're not near as good as they thought or that years of CoD and Destiny have taken a toll on their skill. Halo 5 has a very, very high skill ceiling that will be humbling a lot for the foreseeable future. It's glorious.

The pro players chose it.
Because you'll always have troll posts. Those are the easiest to scroll on by. But when you get a head line that's calling something broken, when it's not, that leads some people to become defenders instead discussing that there may be a problem.
I don't know how the hyperbole doesn't annoy you more. The "lets outrage!" scene has diluted what it means for something in games to be actually broken.
Geezus....maybe halo fans are use to this type of aiming and he is not? I can only reply to you with the same response so many ways

Programming-wise, what's the science in a problem like this. Is this an a2+b2=c2 matter? Taking the combined distance determined by the input from each axis and throwing them together? Just a random thought. It would also explain the speed flip after passing 45 degrees on either axis.
Something along the lines of this, but specifically if 1 = 2 in travel time.Going solely off that video, and using this diagram....
...so if you were already aiming at A and wanted to aim at B it would be quicker to get there via path 2 than the direct path 1? If that's the case, that definitely sounds borked.

I for one like it. The aiming is better in this than anything in any previous Halo. I have the same resume as Op as well, so I don't speak from inexperience.
If I'm not mistaken. ..other halos didn't have this. So it's a first for everyone and if that's the case....the other players k/D isn't because of the aiming.
Everyone is on equal footing.

If you actually read the thread you would see they changed it after the beta and the pros tried several iterations before deciding on the way the aiming is currently working.

So I'm guessing it's bad that I watched the video and have no clue what's wrong?

No. ND asked a handful of people to come in and try out new presets they worked on in response to the complaints.

Thank god, I thought I was crazy. The aiming bugs the shit out of me and is one of the reasons I'm pretty down on the game.
