Aim Habits in Halo Infinite EVERY player can MASTER

[@politicallyincorrect633]

It's crazy how important reticle placement is in halo, and if you watch pros like formal, they always have it lined up in the correct spot before they walk around a corner/come out of cover. Limiting right stick movement is huge

[@johnonhouse]

Just muscle memory bro it’s the same shots over and over you already know where they gonna be just practice and you will have it down

Not only pros lol

Fantastic tips for players of all skill levels

[@bexagon6682]

I loved this. Tons of practical info explained with easy to understand examples. Useful for players of all skill. Thank you!

[@Hofey]

As far as the aiming basics I already understood really well. The most value I got from this video is from your tip of being intentional with my movement. Often times I do find myself jumping even when I’m winning the fight which just makes it harder for me to finish it.

[@jdub9119]

This one video increased my aiming ability exponentially - reduced sensitivity and changed up strafe patterns, been getting MVP consistently tonight - great video

[@Ender_Queen09]

The bits about aim and reticle placement really helped

[@Deathsythe117]

Great session! I’ve been playing halo since CE, I’m in my mid 30s now. I’m struggling in the plat 6 area, the diamonds seem to destroy me in most 1v1s so I’ve been avoiding conflict as much as possible until I know my teammates are with. I plan to get some coaching soon because I’m desperately trying to improve.

[@Quickshot657311]

You should definitely try coaching. I’m also mid 30s playing since halo ce, high plat. Shyway has been helping so much. We think we are so efficient when in reality we are a dumpster fire of lost efficiency.

[@Shyway]

Thanks & sounds good! Ready to get to work when you are 👍

[@jamest4189]

One effective technique to enhance your gameplay is 'mirror strafing.' When you land the first shot on an opponent, there's no need for erratic strafing to dodge their fire. Instead, focus on precision in your shooting. The key to maintaining accuracy after the initial hit is to mirror your opponent's movements using your left stick. If they shift right, you move right; if they go left, you follow suit. Perfect mirroring isn't always possible, as human reaction time takes a few milliseconds to process their movement direction. Aiming for the chest is a smart strategy here, as it's a larger target area and maximizes aim assist's effectiveness. For instance, if an enemy veers left, there's a slight delay before you react and adjust your left stick, possibly causing them to drift from your reticle. Aim assist can compensate for this by guiding your reticle back to the target. A common mistake is to overcorrect with the right stick in a panic, leading to erratic aiming and missed shots. The two players who do this the best are Shotzzy and Formal. You'll notice that their reticle always looks so smooth, largely because they are always mirror strafing. There are times where you need to strafe more erratically (counter strafe) but that's a lesson for another day.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@spadschannel999I’ve had most controllers wit paddles for Xbox besides like $200 ones & the best sticks no lie that have no drift & hold up is the $30 PDP Rematch Advanced Wired Controller. Made it where I can use 0-0-0 on right stick Center, Max Input, & Axial deadzones. The Victrix Gambit was but, it’s way too uncomfortable with terrible paddle design. The Turtle beach recon isn’t durable but, comfty. If durability wasn’t a downfall I loved the Razer Tournament for the 2 mappable buttons M1 & M2 but, the paddles suck on it & couple months use left analog wouldn’t move forward & glitch plus 2 D Pad buttons went out. The Fusion Pro controller weighs way too much & paddles will break. Elite series 1, Razer Tourney, & Victrix Gambit hair trigger stops all broke within 1-3 months. I am prolly going to order the 8 bit do $45 controller wit Hall Effect sticks to try it out. I use the Spirit Red PDP Rematch Adv.

[@toxidicact9352]

Shyway you should run custom game lobbies for ppl that need to work on their aim.: then last day of lessons with the same “students” run 4v4 teams as balanced as possible. Players will learn off their teammates as well

[@jackcolson4745]

I think to get your student's full perspective you should lock fps to 60 and turn on Vsync. That way you understand their mechanical limitations. You could recommend them settings that better fit the performance and input lag they are playing on.

[@Shyway]

I considered this - but regardless of performance-related limitations, good and bad aim habits are the same. We played Halo 5 on 60fps w/ vsync for 6 years, and the same rules applied. I did ofc ask about his setup, talk about the potential limitations and give him recommendations for the best experience.

[@vigilantestylez]

​@@ShywayI agree but... Halo 5 had very strong aim assist. In comparison to Infinite. The input lag on a Xbox vs PC is substantial from my experience. You feel like you're fighting underwater or punching in your dreams as opposed to snappy ultra responsive play on a PC that is configured correctly. I think if the guy is on an Xbox series S or worse, he should adopt a sloth game style. Low sens controller, high FOV, and bot walk as much as possible. Then his aim will only be microcorrections and he can make up for the lag by getting first shots and good positioning. Now if he's on PC or a series X, then he can be a movement God. That's my humble opinion, but the video was very informative and I love all your videos. 😎💯💯💯

[@mihirkumar2403]

​@@vigilantestylezlow key I disagree. you don't really gotta change your play style bcuz of hardware. im 1700 on 60 fps, im no bound but i wouldn't say i play like a sloth either lol. the limitations do suck but at the end of the day just grinding will make your mechanics competable with almost every skill level

[@vigilantestylez]

@@mihirkumar2403 I doubt that. It's not just FPS. For me to run the game and have good snappy controls, I have to use either MSI dragon center on my old system or Razer Cortex, just to shut down all the background processes that cause lag, also I had to set my monitor to overdrive, I had to get rid of the Microsoft edge process that uses my GPU while gaming and load the game from the desktop instead of borderless full screen. I'm wired in, also on my controller. I have an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, I'm on a gigabit connection and use Google DNS. All that, just to get rid of as much input lag as possible. I could not get rid of input lag at all on my Xbox series S. I even put all the controller settings as high sensitivity as possible and it still lags extreme. After about 2 minutes in game, the aim gets so laggy and slow that I can't turn my Spartan around. There is no way in hell you made it to 1700 Onyx with 60FPS, and a trash machine unless you are using a Cronus, or are on a crappy laptop with aimbots, walls, the full suite of hacks. I don't know why people have to lie to try to win arguments, but whatever. I will never believe you play at that level on a POS machine and trash connection. That is impossible.

[@Bolt2049]

@@mihirkumar2403 unrelated to this comment thread, but I wanted to ask if you got your 1700 elo from the ANZ region, and if so how do you even find matches under 200 ping (I am in ANZ and I gave up on grinding ranked because of the disabilities I have to face compared to others).

Good video i have not watched yet

[@matt0198922]

You just wanted first comment.

[@Hofey]

Are there any players who are good at flicking one direction sliding then flicking back to the target? This is a huge strategy in destiny 2 where you throw your body around by sliding in different directions but still shooting the target in the slide. This may not be beneficial in halo as the strafe speed is already really fast

[@justryanreally]

With slide, cancel, shoot, slide cancel shoot, Frosty has a few moments like that most games with the bandit starts. The shorter pause from sprint to shoot on the bandit makes it pretty savage.

[@justryanreally]

As an aside, I'm a mid diamond level player and I pull it out when fighting players that are better than me in fair fights... works a treat.

[@EwokHunter27]

So about jumping, couldnt that be part of a players strafe?

[@Quickshot657311]

Yes, but shyway got me to understand that the very start of a jump is the strong aspect (surprise element) but 60-80% of the rest of the jump you are a sitting duck. You also enter the vertical, which avoiding the vertical reduces the complexity of snapping to the target. Watch shyway’s 148 bot challenge and take note of all the times he jumps to either start a battle or end a battle. Then go back to your own gameplay and do the same. How effective are his jumps and/or yours?

[@EwokHunter27]

Oh I get it now. Thanks 👍

[@daddydizzy707]

Plus you can't strafe in the air so it's harder to aim

[@punchybandu]

Add to this that practic in academy never translates back to real on line play. I am a machine in academy or custom, but when I go ranked i get lit up and you see none of that awesome aim anymore.

[@mihirkumar2403]

i wouldn't say never, mm is defo really different compared to academy but in terms of mechanics and aim it 100 p helps

[@Hofey]

I feel like this is due to the academy players not being that good. You’re probably building bad habits against bad players.

[@Quickshot657311]

Punchy, have you tried the bot challenge in this video? I thought I was a beast in academy too, but my bot challenge is not close to when shyway does it (see his example in his description).

[@daddydizzy707]

Play octagon or BRT map with octagon settings and turn the bots on hardest difficult

[@Shyway]

As far as raw mechanical ability it does - but there’s SO much more to Halo than that. Need different forms of practice to build different skills within the game

if theoretically i bought coaching would you have any aim tips or anthing like that for mnk?

[@HDfromNJ]

Damn 5 seconds in and ik I'm about to be put on game

[@ASMRKlotz]

I think a lot of people jump because in previous halo games we did it to make it harder for the opponent to get the last head shot. They would "Ghandi hop" as well.

[@billylionisnotagoat]

man i cant gauge what my shields are at in a fight because the damage almost never registers until im dead ...almost every 1v1 feels like im getting 1 tapped from full shield so i just play like im losing every fight

[@PiKLDriP]

Would you ever watch and critique a MnK player? Having a hard time since the new update. Think I need more advice on positioning or something. Having a very hard time winning my 1 on 1s. D2 here, going down from mid D3 and still falling.

[@Xxxsniperxx1]

I first learned about solid aiming from Formal back in COD: AW. I noticed how he would barely move his right stick in long range fights while strafing left and right with his left stick. Applied it ever since. Unfortunately, this game has the worst desync and hit reg of all time, so you get punished regardless.

[@nicolasisho]

la mejor forma para mi de mejorar el aiming es practicar en el mapa de aim labs y luego contra bots en el mapa de ahp octagon...

[@itzrewiind9399]

So Is diamond considered good in this game???? Or is onyx only considered high elo? I recently picked Halo back up, got placed in Plat, then climbed to mid diamond pretty quick. In valorant, cs, league, I’m always silver 😅. Is diamond good or is it because the player count is kinda low? I’m just kinda surprised honestly lol

[@Shyway]

Majority of the Ranked population is in plat, with the highest number of players around diamond 1 i believe. I'd say you're ranked better than the average player. I'd say onyx is pretty good, but onyx probably has the widest range in skill - 1500 vs 1750 onyx is very different. Rn pros tend to hover around onyx 2000+
