Simple Tips to Become A Better Player in Halo Infinite | NO ONE KNOWS THIS!

[@BladeStar420]

Finally an in-depth explanation from someone who knows for sure what they are talking about.

[@zetaknight2143]

Holy shit this video is amazing. The breakdown we deserve. I've gotten my Infinite settings as close to feel as MCC in certain (multiplayer) games. But this breakdown is next level to others.

[@korevirus547]

When I used controller was playing with my kid a friend joined on me a 1800 oynx or whatever I knew some of my keybinds everything felt easier. And was winning those 1v1s and it felt alot easier, but disliked how it felt like I wasn't aiming less random input latency I get on my mnk, and was winning fights that seemed easier with not alot of effort, the commando felt gross to use, for me was easier. However, either input takes time, mnk takes a heck of a lot more and I had to relearn how to aim and track and keep good movement. No dig on controller I was a controller user for years until a bit over a year ago. on mnk you have to hyper focus to win those 1 v 1s and honestly feels way more rewarding but is tiring. for me it felt alot easier on controller, but don't like how it felt so stayed mnk knowing the odd disadvantage in a way. Been playing less and less, knowing how ar can beam on you , pistols they can spam the trigger and each shot beams you, And brs. All that being said infinite has some amazing gunplay, and very fun n feels rewarding specially on mnk, unfortunately how this game is and people constantly exclaiming is a controller game it will be niche cause of it. And how they designed this game it may be niche and may stay as a console game. Maybe down the road with new modes etc it will be leas niche and less one input meta driven . We all want halo to grow but when most dropped and known as a controller game most won't bother cause of this attitude. We all know how steam users r lol. Currently there is less than 500 ranked in mnk only

Are these your ideal settings? Or have you made updates/changes since this video? So far, the few changes I’ve made based on this…have seemed to improve feel and shot connection. Avg game accuracy went from 48% to nearly 60% at onyx level play too

[@criticalinfinite4945]

Congratulations. I think I'm about to make a video completely dedicated to controller settings.... A part 2 to my original aim assist video. I'll completely flesh out controller settings and compare and contrast to mcc, with an emphasis on how infinite is underserved.

[@matthewjefferson2159]

@@criticalinfinite4945 that’d be excellent! I’ve struggled since day 1, to find anything that feels “normal”/not weird. Joystick inputs just feels chunky and fidgety. Even on their defaults, it’s awful. Combine all that with D-Sync, and it’s been less than enjoyable experience. Appreciate your efforts though, look forward to next video.

[@jaymz8222]

Are you saying people should make both look and move dead zones 0, or just look? Also, what do you recommend overall as far as max input threshold goes? I already have my ideal sensitivity.

[@GameOfJoffrey777]

@@jaymz8222 yes please answer this, should move stick deadzones be set to zero as well? And what should Look acceleration be ? 0 or 5?

[@skier183]

Excellent video and I’m so happy you’re highlighting another thing 343 has changed that didn’t need changing! One thing I didn’t understand you said about the look thumbstick was that a higher max input threshold increases variance in the acceleration curve. However, in the settings menu it says the opposite to be the case. Could you please explain this more?

[@FBRacingV2]

FINALLY SOMEONE FIGURED OUT THE SETTINGS!!! I have vids on my desktop but i didnt want to upload it just wanted to have proof but atlease someone is also studying the game physics.

[@iiKenTroN]

In your section where you talk about Mnk its true I am a top 5% player on mnk even in 8s lobbies vs controller players I have difficulty keeping up mostly in close range fights because of movement and aim assist. long range fights seem to go my way a lot more often though

[@brownad33]

I've noticed a lot of pros have been playing lower fov (snakebite (85 on his stream i think he said) and Lucid is around 90ish (look at his BR reticle the lines are almost = to the circle, high fov the lines extend further from the center). This pretty much confirms what i was thinking about FOV. I also noticed it tends to extend the perceived melee distance when on higher FOV, huge melee lunges are big because your zoomed out. I tend to stick around 100 but im thinking 90ish might be the thing to do. You also confirmed my thought on look dead zones interfering with Aim assist. I tried 0 in academy and thought the aim assist seemed extra sticky but never tried it in a game. Thanks for the info. Wouldn't mind if you look into how different settings could improve strafe speed for controller. On my scuff its noticably slower than on my elite pro 2 (i have instant curve on it in the controller settings and its basically as fast as MnK strafe)

[@criticalinfinite4945]

Working on a video now.... Here's a sneak peak. Turning your move stick deadzones all the way to 15, you will reach your max movement speed sooner.

[@brownad33]

I have the move max input to 15 already. Do you mean that or the actual move deads. Also I should say an elite 2 will be the same as any controller for long strafes but quick side to side with the instant left stick curve is clearly faster. Makes 1v1s much easier (scuff instinct is a bit better for shots and consistent back paddles/buttons activation)

[@stefanobiscut]

@@brownad33 go 0 15 3

[@joshuas1834]

Great video, but I think you might be wrong about the field of view thing. First of all it seems like all of the pros use somewhere between a 95 and 110° FOV and I doubt that all of them would be using a field of view that makes their aiming worse. In my own experience in training mode it seems like a higher field of view comes with increased bullet bending aka auto aim which makes it feel like there's better shot registration. It also seems like it might slightly increase the reticle magnetism area of effect. All those things combine to make me have way better aim at 99° than I do at the standard 78.

[@stefanobiscut]

Yea he’s definitely wrong abt it u also see a lot less n the game feels slower

[@bobnob4393]

There are a few pro M&K players. A team recently took down EUnited in a tournament and I believe 2 players were M&K. As I whole I agree though

[@o0Welshy0o]

[@mrhamburgler480]

Still to this day, Im not satisfied with my controls as far as the sticks go. Despite trying numerous setups that ive spent hours tweaking then trying each for a week, maybe a little less depending on how each have felt. I tell my buds nearly 80% of my deaths, especially my 1v1s, i absolutely know are because how weird this game feels and still not being able to find that sweet spot with my sticks. Im absolutely gonna try many of the "feel of the game", controller setup related tips in couple hrs lol. Because zero dead zones is the one setup ive yet to try. Dude i also saw your video in why Infinite feels so weird too, Quality content my friend. And for sure took away many of the other tips you relayed here as well. Funny, i never key up to single/duo controller ranked queue, even when running solo, because like you, I've told my buds from day one that it feels like playing MnK players is wayyyyyyy easier most of the time. Glad to hear that validated by someone with this level of understanding of the games build. Got a sub here after this one bud. 👍 keep em coming man

[@poobalu]

I owe Critical Infinite an apology - I previously disliked this video based on prior knowledge of the Blam engine and I didn't see sources for this information, but now that I've seen the research that went into this video and those that followed I have since subbed and corrected my judgement. Excellent content!

Halo 5 had a terrible aim curve too anyway Love the video quite possibly one of the best on aim settings. I do disagree about the max input and accel being higher. I think max input at 0 and accel at 2 or 3 is closer to MCC

[@joshuas1834]

You are correct

[@JohnSmith-XYZ]

Yep, you want max input threshold on Look Stick to be as low as possible for a closer-to-MCC feel. I use 3.

@@Shotzzilla the pro controller you can edit the buttons and sticks. You can make the A button be Y and change the curve used on the sticks. The default is “smooth” which is a straight line for inputs, so a 1 to 1.

[@Cognitoman]

You think playing on 105 is bad?

[@criticalinfinite4945]

I used to do 90, I lowered it to 78. A lower fov makes enemies subjectively larger on your screen, and thus easier to get your reticle on top of. 105 is the exact point after which things get really bad. So anything up to 105 is good. Naturally its best to experiment yourself.

[@bobnob4393]

I play on max fov, 120 I think. Maybe that's why I've been struggling a little. Also don't have deadlines completely on zero

[@stevebarbieri1399]

78? Lmao u can't see what's going on around you ain't that important?? Do at least 95

[@AggressiveBeagle]

Not going to lie… I can’t stand when people try to cheese the game mechanics and cause you to miss shots but halo infinite is definitely MY game… I have never been better at a game in my life! Okay sure it’s because the aim assist is too powerful or whatever I don’t care… people that play every day probably hate it because people like me that only play on the weekends can come in and spank them, I get it, it’s probably frustrating but I’m having a blast… just wish there were more content, that’s my only problem with the game! If they ever change anything to do with the mechanics of this game and I feel like it’s because of you… IM GOING TO FIND YOU!

[@yoyo21926]

yeah i like the strafing but the aiming could be a littlle smoother, somwhere in between mcc and infinite.

[@Shotzzilla]

They need to add modern aiming to infinte like MCC. Can someone on here go on the halowaypoint forums and tell them to add MCC modern aim and link this video because I am banned on there 😆😭😭 please save halo!!!

[@Omabatfartsbruh]

that whole movement thing is pretty dumb from a development standpoint, i knew something was off when my sniper aim was wack i thought it was hitboxes, and in a way it is, but that whole "delay" from moving away from the current direction makes things SO much easier to aim, i'm surprised not a lot of games don't have this it's so subtle that not a lot of people think about it

[@Cognitoman]

Dude is that true they are making aim assist work while jumping for season 2?

[@criticalinfinite4945]

In the outcomes report, it's mentioned that many players seem to think that aim assist changes when jumping. They go on to say that aim assist isn't intended to do that, and they're right. What the community misunderstands is that while jumping, reticle tracking interferes with your aim.... I talked about this directly in the video. It's simply a design flaw inherent to how the game is designed.

Because of history. If you played mouse and keyboard for halo CE and got good with it, it’s better.

[@autokrft]

@@elijahroselinsky2744 um no, it's inherently better to play halo with a controller because of how strong the aim assist is.. the best mouse players in the world would still get dumpstered by controller players

[@Lin_Eileen]

@@autokrft You are right it is a flaw in the argument because Halo pro scene went to MCC for some time and it was dominated by controllers entirely even though MnK was allowed to compete, they just couldn't because aim assist in every Halo game is extremely strong the clip of him trying to miss intentionally while AA is active on Halo Reach says it all, he basically couldn't miss. Aim assist has always been insane in Halo I think people are forgetting that Halo wasn't designed as a competitive multiplayer shooter in the Esports sense. It was designed as a couch multiplayer game first which means it's inherently casual. Bungie intentionally made aiming and shooting a breeze because they knew it was really hard to aim on controllers and they wanted people to not be frustrated with their game. People who says it's just because of history and controller players having much more time in the Halo series.... Halo has been on PC since 2003 the mnk Halo scene has had plenty of time to start to get good at HCE and H2 well before MCC was ever a thing. There just isn't a lot of high level mnk players cause they can't compete with the controller players it's like they are playing an entirely different game. The way Summit put it when describing how he feels aiming in Infinite is how it actually is in every Halo if you use mnk against controllers it's like you are trying so hard and they just beam you and go about their day like you're just an inconvenience and not actual competition.
