I wonder if when Halo servers are down pornhub sees a spike.  Oh wait, only 1k people playing H5 :ghost:

[My Namez BEAST]

So is there even a strategy for Fathom slayer? The map doesn't have any valuable mid-range sightlines that the pistol, BR, or light rifle can capitalize on unless the target is already weakened. The H5 hates me and I prefer to avoid the catwalks in general because you can get pinched very suddenly from any direction. I've seriously resorted to just timing camo like a hawk, and once I have it patrolling the subs/bottom mid area with the AR and getting the first shot on people. So basically I'm being that guy.

The problem isn't being that guy. The problem is that, that strategy is actually more viable. Shits sad. But you gotta do what works.

I suck with the sniper and wanted to play some Octagon but then I realized there was no forge.  :bravo:

[Nades]

Will the weekend social playlists start this weekend?

[Catalyst]

If you're that picky then sure. But Halo 5 is a legit game as fuck. 

 

My Halo Stockholm Syndrome has me wanting to try it, sucks its not on redbox :s

Don't blame him, he's spent the last year or so around Halo CE people.

 

EDIT: I see people don't understand I'm talking about pros always screaming "GET RAPEEEEEEEEEED" back then but rather think this is a random stab at people...  <_<

[Zeus The Dino]

Now I'm starting to question my self, does the aiming suck or do I just suck?

 

Maybe both.

 

I just can't grt over how bad it is for me after about 70 games.

 

I'll shut up posting about it now.

 

 

I FUCKING HATE IT

I feel you man, its the aiming

[Ascendants]

Well that's what I was about to do.

[Floody]

Lack of social playlists is really gonna hurt this game, I hope a few are implemented soon.

 

Trying to play with some friends that aren't very good at the game is rough, we end up losing badly and my rank is effected.

Whats camo time? I would go into forge and check

[ChrisDalf]

Ya'll complaining about aiming while i'm over here not able to play multiplayer at all. Not even custom games are working.

[Larry Sizemore]

Also Orion has to go. Not only is the layout complete ass, but the map tint makes it soooo hard on the eyes. Enemies are constantly blending into all the shit in the background. I'm probably gonna start quitting that map soon because it's unnecessary and it pisses me off.

 

Plaza, on the other hand, is aces. You can all suck it.

2 minutes from pickup.

Online that is. Servers fixed

On aiming, all I can say is this game takes a while to hone in on your shot because there is a lot less aim assist. The acceleration feel some of you are commenting on is related to that. We've done significant tuning on the sticks since beta working directly with the pro team. They can speak for themselves but I believe a quote from Ghost after the final pass was "OMFG the aiming feels so good, the sticks are magic now." Take that for what it's worth and spend the time to master your shot. It takes time.

 

If you get a chance, could you confirm something for me?

 

Not being a good player, sometimes the finer points of the game just don't matter (even if I understand them).  For aiming, mine has never been good (and H5 confirms this with a 43% accuracy rate so far), but I personally don't think there is any aim assist until the stick deflection gets quite high.  To me, the game feels like:

 

1.  No aim acceleration for all but the largest stick deflections.

 

[Theory:  Past games (CE, H2, H4) had quite a bit of aim assist that would get your reticle going in the right direction instantaneously, so it felt more responsive (H3 had less, but also had other wonky stuff going on with the aiming).  That's because the reticle started moving in the desired direction on its own.  In H5, there is very little aim assist, and the "clunkiness" or "reticle momentum" is a result of not having that anticipatory movement of the reticle rather than presence of aim acceleration.  In H5, you have "thumb momentum" rather than reticle momentum.]

 

2.  The angle at which aim assist does engage seems smaller than past games.

 

[Theory:  Fast moving targets can easily get outside that window, leading to more of a heavy-reticle feel during the mid range engagements.  I have experienced this feel as well . . . though I didn't think it was aim acceleration, but rather that the reticle had left the aim assist engagement window.]

 

3.  Increased vertical responsiveness of look direction over past games.

 

[Theory:  The delta between horizontal and vertical look speed has been decreased compared to past games, which leads to the unexpected rapid changes vertically.]

 

I think it would help everyone if you could confirm that those 3 assumptions are either correct or incorrect.

 

Thanks!

I wasn't being serious aha gg's

Lack of social anything is going to hurt this game. I am confident that's 343's "pacing the fans" with Forge and File Share (?) releasing in December is going to bite them in the ass big time. People who stop playing games stop following them as well. Even if they do hear about Forge, they won't care enough since they'll be on their new craze already.

[Nabster]

I like how they told us that teams have a priority to match other teams and only match solo players when it can't find anyone else.

I searched solo and matched a to4 out of my friends list after searching for 15 seconds.

 

I get 343 is trying to cater to the instant gratification COD crowd, but I think even the most ADHD addied up 14 year old 420 quickscoper has an attention span of more than a quarter of a minute.

[Basu]

Doubt we're gonna see @@Hyena do anything with this game.

 

The problem with the sniper in the last few games is that EVERYONE is Hyena. My casual friends that pull a 0.78 K/D in CoD can pick up the sniper and get an overkill, it's disgusting.

[mierder]

Years of high aim assist and magnetism makes some players believe their aiming is good  :ghost:

[Sitri]

Just in case someone wanted to see a Space Whale up close.

 

[Mr Grim]

I just refuse to use the br in this game.
