The ULTIMATE TRYHARD CHALLENGE...

[@Marksman]

I can only hope the video does well, but there was an issue with the audio layers so I had to delete it, re-render and re-upload. I'm praying it doesn't kill the viewership on it, but having to reupload a vid and it's going up on a Friday. This is probably a doomed video lol. Regardless, I cross my fingers and hope you enjoy it. The results of this challenge might surprise you.

@Marksman I’m just happy when I get a Marksman notification. The goat 💯.

[@Chillin_like_a_villian]

Enjoy watching your videos since BO2 bro

[@AmpdLSU]

Just finished the vid. You mention continuing to practice with controller so you can get better with it. Maybe keep up the 10 mkb then 10 controller to get a larger dataset. I’m. Curious to see if any stats would start converging or diverging. Though it would restrict those 10 games each to being sweat games which may not be fun. Good idea for a video I liked it.

[@chicken3060]

Aim assist has always been extremely strong in COD, nothing’s changed it’s just that more people play on MnK now and recognize the advantage controllers possess at close/ mid range. That’s not to say it’s ok, it definitely needs to be turned down a lot.

[@nicolasmarnoto510]

Anyone else loving the longer videos?

[@DarkLight_PT95]

kinda missing the daily videos, but the longer ones more than make up for it. and it makes it easier for nick to not have to worry about the next day as soon as one video goes up, so it's a win-win for everyone

[@dwdesign2873]

So much

[@morehouse98]

i enjoy 20-25 min vids, 45 is a little much but for this experiment i'm curious lol

[@DarkLight_PT95]

@@morehouse98 but these longer videos can be segmented into the days Nick doesn't post. That's what makes it so worth it not having daily videos. He was posting 8-15 minutes videos daily (on the longer end these past few months before the every other day uploads). Now he's posting 30-45 minute videos every other day, so we get more content in the end. You can just watch half the video in the day he posts, and the other half on the day he doesn't, and you still have more content to watch than if he was uploading daily. More content + less strain for Nick = everyone wins

[@IDoSnipeYT]

I think he already knew people would try to tear his idea down with the arguments that he mentioned

[@stevenruiz1504]

From my personal experience switching to MKB about a year ago, I never had too much of a problem in MW2 playing against controller players, I think that is due to the slower movement + lower TTK. Slower movement = Slower target to track. As a MKB player I had a much easier time tracking in MW2, I can do it here in MW3, but it’s the up close gunfights that are the toughest due to how strong rotational aim assist is on controller. I’ve noticed how strong hip firing is on controller and it shocks me everytime I die by someone who just doesn’t miss whilst hip firing. MKB has its benefits, like sniping, flicking, movement. + it’s fun. You feel more accomplished when you perform well on raw input. I think aim assist is definitely necessary, but I do think they need to reduce it, or only allow aim assist to be active while AIMING. I mean, it is called “AIM” assist for a reason, I shouldn’t have to worry about a dude hitting 2-3 shots in between the transition from hip fire->aiming , that’s just ridiculous. It is obvious that aim assist as a whole outweighs the pros of MKB at this moment in time, there is no arguing it. And currently I’ve been seeing it a lot with the longbow, I get giving aim assist to the AR’s , Subs, LMG’s, but I think they need to leave it out of snipers. At that point it’s too broken. And for the people saying “well PC players cheat”, you’re right, I play cheaters left right and center, and guess what? Most of them are the controller players using some sort of mod or zen, or even DS4. I can tell regular aim assist vs software that heightens it. I’ve played both inputs so I know how aim assist works. I think the game is great- but the cheaters make it hardly playable sometimes.

[@BK201DarkerThanBlack]

Stats aside. Marksman seems to play better on keyboard and mouse, he just gets sweatier opponents for it. Which makes me wonder if SBMM weighs things against mouse users.

[@rdt3922]

I have that feeling as well

[@pavmx703]

It definitely feels that way. It could also be that it's just harder to beat controller players with a mouse and keyboard. I feel like if he were facing mnk players while on mnk, that could be scrutinized more but who knows. I play mnk and it definitely feels like I get sweatier matches than my controller friends. My nephew has a friend that will play with us sometimes and the kid is a demon and he's on controller. Dude will have about the same score as me in games where it's just a sweat pit. It's not even the IQ of the players, it's the fact that they have the death stare when it's a lobby full of controllers. As soon as they see you, it's game over.

[@Marksman]

I think JGOD mentioned it before but controller input would get easier lobbies on average. I don’t know how he did this test though. It used to be a major thing in Warzone 1 though.

[@tigarianwarrior9556]

[@waynegriffin8667]

Great vid ImMarksman. Been a M&K player since LOL... "Quake". I've played FPS games on a controller. But I salute those that can truly master the art. Honestly if it was "easier" for me, I'd make the switch... Playing the Halo games, few FPS titles, incl. some COD titles on XBOX. I just cannot get the knack of mastering the controller. I enjoy M&K, it's what I know, and that's where I'll probably stay, at least for fast paced, high reaction intensity titles like COD, etc... Honestly, I was expecting the gap to be more favorable towards controller. Having to work harder, but at the same time, enjoying it when I do jump on. But this was great to watch, to see there is advantages and disadvantages on both input styles, although controller can be more of an advantage. Guess I just need to become better, but being 52yo.... I'm too old & stubborn to relearn, LOL.

[@thetadbit9204]

11:02 is my favorite - well done in all of this - keep it up Marksman!

[@steelers0004]

the fact that your overall accuracy was better on controller but your headshot accuracy was better on pc shows 2 things 1) aim assist is too strong 2) your personal aim on pc is ridiculously good

[@morehouse98]

that and aim assist pulls towards the center mass of the body, where on kbm it's all you where to aim, so landing those headshots could be vital for winning gunfights. so he's just trained to aim there.

[@JstBrahd]

@CoffeeNBagels I suck on KBM I just don't seem to improve

[@melikechoc0]

As he's said in another video, if his mnk on cod is like this, the average mnk player is fucked.

[@jhonquack9721]

I’ve grown up on controller and it was never as strong as it is now. I’ve played on MNK for over 6 years now and it is in no way easier to learn than controller it took me time to get better aim vs I can hop on a controller and fry within 2 hours of playing and have no issues aiming.

Are they wrong though? Do pc players not move faster and smoothly? I’ve never played pc just console, so I’m just curious.

[@yellowtoblerone]

I feel it's untested a/b, but you do feel you get easier lobbies overall in both mp and wz on controller. on mnk i'd get mp games sent to FL servers while being in north west coast playing vs fizz high kd stack while on controller i didn't. In WZ i get sent to mari, GA and FL/NY for games, while on controller i get more games in SJ, LA, at least in the same gd time zone

[@ItzHerozzz]

Been on strictly M&K for roughly 2.5-3 years now(1.46K/D). Came back to CoD a 1/4 way through last years, After not playing since 2019s game. I'm considering switching back just for the simple fact I can't compete with AA...

[@pavmx703]

Been on mnk for 7 years and I can't compete with it either. When The Finals nerfed the AA a while ago before they rebuffed it, I felt like I was having actual gunfights again. Then they buffed it again and added SBMM and I deleted the game.

[@Honeneko.]

Especially with the MM system. It just feels horrible and unfun to play. I can try and compete at 100%, but burn-out after a game or two. MKB since 2020, and turned off aim assist since the 360 days. I've never liked it, but I guess might be picking it back up; aim-assist and all.

[@doooodeh]

You need to know what gunfights to take and which dont and how to position yourself to have a distance between controller players. Playing small map playlists on a mouse for example with that kind of SBMM is fucking stupid unless you want to nuke your KD for some reason or you want to use a shotty. Upclose you are right we cannot compete against rotational AA that has 0MS reaction time and pixel perfect tracking which means you need to learn to position yourself on smaller maps because going for close ranged gunfights against controller is not a good idea regardless of how good your mouse tracking is and how many hours you have in Koovaks or other aim trainers. Its not just insane AA but also idle aim sway,firing stability,visual recoil and other stuff that affects mouse more too. Shit ton of elements in new CoDs are straight up designed to work against mouse input lmao. Also if you are on MnK you need to stop copying builds that streamers use who play on gamepad because mouse gun setups are different to feel good. Truth is that nowadays mouse=high skill ceiling and gap while gamepad=small ceiling and gap and only delusional pad users will tell you otherwise when Marksman just demonstrated that in this very video and best of the best players talk about this for years now not just in CoD games but every single PvP game with crossplay. When AA started to work like literal software based aimlock built in by default we started to have problems - reminder that by very definition rotational AA is a cheat by default.

[@kvw]

⁠@@doooodehthat’s the thing, we shouldn’t have to play a certain just to combat aa. It’s so dumb but everything you said is correct unfortunately. I mean when even scump says shooting takes no skill now you know aa is extremely powerful. Doesn’t help that they fucked mnk input from mw19. That game felt so good on mnk

[@ItzHerozzz]

@@doooodeh The whole game is small to mid sized maps. I have always played aggressive whether it be on controller or M&K. I shouldnt have to play outsides of the maps or play like a rat just because AA is insanely OP.

[@laserxhunter317]

We back up & fixed

[@mr.charizard9232]

I played on KB&M in Fortnite(first time switching over from controller 2019), I got good and comfy on it. Then I played MW2019 on KB&M, took some aim training to get the tracking down to a good level, I loved it. Felt so accomplished when I’d get kills and do good because it was all skill and time training my aim. Had a 2KD in search. Took almost 2 years off from gaming and came back to MW3, couldn’t play KB&M anymore. Was rusty and I kept losing my up close gun fights, so I bought a scuff controller and got used to controller again after 4 years of not using it. Was instantly easier to win gun fights and within 1 week of using controller I’m back to a 2KD in search. It’s the easier input for aiming. Everything else I prefer KB&M. For those saying it’s balanced, yall are wrong and misinformed.

[@myothernameisrobloxdisplay]

@Marksman I have been playing Cod probably as long if not longer than you and totally agree with most of your points in some manner. Another great topic covered. Here are my thoughts... Controller players will complain about M&K, M&K will complain about controller. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Aim assist is way to strong in the past few CoDs. It eliminates skill gap and allows lower skill players to play better then they actually are. There will never be a perfect balance for M&K against controller. With all that said I do believe some aim assist is needed to play controller against M&K. It just needs toned down 33%-50% to help balance things.

[@jhonquack9721]

Bro exactly like they just need to tone it down but I know they won’t because they want bad players to feel like there good.

[@gabebronstad4254]

Bro switched from red boxes to full heat signatures, that got me for a second.

[@twitch7406]

I dont think there's another person in the world other than marksman who is good enough at both MnK and controller to be able to test this theory 😅

I think the handfuls of professionals that switched might also be capable of theory tests but, marksman has certainly a good eye for it.

[@Mike10288]

Playing on mouse, and keyboard, for this particular game is absolutely exhausting, but I refuse to switch over to controller

[@zombiechainsaw]

It would be interesting to see the stats of 25, 50, and 100 games for each K&M vs Controller. Maybe mix it up different styles of aim assist and maybe no aim assist? Great video as always, love your content.

[@mgoincrazy3773]

That is actually a good idea for perhaps a follow up video.. you should do another where you use snipers for 10 games on each and see how things differ. This video could be a "Controller advantage" video while the sniper can be more "PC advantage". I would be interested to see how those stats would be in comparison aswell

[@ImMorble]

There’s no need for that video though, everyone knows with one shot guns mouse has the advantage. Issue is most guns are not one shot, and if you miss your one shot, you’re probably dead to the MCW. It’s not “fair and balanced” if the only way someone can compete is using snipers, especially since they removed snipers from ranked because people complained.

[@mgoincrazy3773]

@ImMorble i was more so just thinking stat wise how much of a difference it would be between M&K and Controller

[@Cristian_D63]

Crazy thing is if you fine tune all the in depth settings you can get really nutty. My accuracy is around a 35% in diamond ranked lobbies. Dashy from OpTic has like a 50% accuracy in pubs😂

[@Flashy_GG]

Like marksman, I too played many years on controller in the past. The last 5 years I’ve been on mouse and keyboard. The movement and the ability to turn on people with a mouse is unmatched. With that said, close to mid ranged on a controller in MW3 is absolutely unstoppable. I plugged in a controller after watching this video just to see if I still had it after 5 years. It was like I had never put it down. I’m not by any means a professional player but it’s very easy to see that aim assist has gotten much stronger than it was in the past.

[@kevinclause4p55p5]

Do what you enjoy. Your enjoyment is our enjoyment. It makes better content.

[@Loukasmaxhtec1911]

imagine 8+% accurancy difference from a person mainly playing MnK ( not your average MnK player) and bearly touching a controller. this could reach 15%-20% accurancy difference. The gap could be even bigger in warzone as well due to longer TTK

[@sammygains]

Could you bring back the throwback cod gameplays? Im sure lot of people would really enjoy em

[@BuddhaChunk]

Good work, good video. Also feels rhetorical in that nobody was surprised by this. Appreciate you're work though.

[@Degradation_]

I think if you wanted to get any more accurate you should do 2 sets of 10 games on each. Do 1 set of 10 on MKB, next set on Controller, Next on MKB, then last on Controller and average the two trials for MKB and Controller. That would also help eliminate the potential you're a little more warmed up by the time you get to the second set of 10 games on controller. Still, pretty eye opening to see the stats just from this!

[@YzEd0501]

I only play against consoles and controllers no matter where i play(PC or console) So honestly... even if im an avarage player, bellow avarage in SnD, controller or KBM, i cant get away from playing against aim assist, when i go to a leveling weapon session, i get placed in MCW only lobbies, and the games gets boring. Id really love for the option of playing only against KBM only players, idk i mean COD has long been dead, it can be fun at times, but you cant fix something they support badly. It started as a PC game, and now they just want to focus on console, and thats is all it will ever be. probably not gonna buy the next game. I mean im still gonna watch your vids, cuz i love them as they are fun and insightful. Till CoD actually make a decent game again, ill probably give other FPS games a chance than a 70$ game a year

[@chipperwater6128]

One of the games with the craziest aim assist is Enlisted. Each player has a squad of NPC’s so the maps seem like there are more people (maybe 10v10 actual players but like 100-200 bodies in a match). Aim assist literally snaps you to the closest enemy (within medium/close range). So with a one-shot bolt action gun (it’s a WW2 game), you can just ADS/un-ADS repeatedly and wipe a squad without aiming. However, mouse and keyboard players seem to have an advantage in both long range sniping and full auto gun fights. Their movement is also insane, I believe they can lean and controllers players can’t. Overall it seems pretty balanced with the way things are and honestly comes down to both player skill and if you can kill the actual player out of the squad because the NPC’s are brain dead.

One shot weapons, MnK has the advantage. B

[@alexpoepke7380]

I think it would be interesting to do this again but the next time have the comparisons of all the individual games stats including the overall. That way we can see outliers. It could also be argued that while playing KnM your accuracy is lower because you’re up against other KnM players who tend to have better movement than controller players. We would have to pay attention to the input of your opponents.

You could go for a 240 but you likely won’t notice a true difference, with your set up you should be getting well over 200fps I’d imagine, so I don’t think you really need to currently be aiming for more.

[@jhonquack9721]

There is a reason you see controller players more in pro apex and cod than MNK 😂 it’s insanely strong now.

[@zombiehoggy3701]

I feel the amount of kills, whilst in total looks drastic, is actually negligible. The KD difference isn’t though and is the one true factor here. I feel the headshot percentage is lower due to sim assist fixating on centre mass whereas on M+K you have taught yourself to subconsciously aim slightly higher. The accuracy could also be skewed against M+K players due to better movement and also the opposite for controller where players are slightly less mobile so are “easier” to pick off.

[@zombiehoggy3701]

I used to play controller but have played pc exclusively since just before mw19

[@justinbrentwood1299]

When you hit 39.47% more of your shots on controller when you've been using mouse and keyboard the vast majority of the time for the past 5 years, you know there's a problem.

[@npc1826]

Don't get me wrong but I think the vid is a bit misleading. First, if I'm not mistaken, sbmm does become easier when you switch input. So the players you played against when you switched to controller were probably worse than what you've faced with mnk. You may also argue that you're better with mnk, but it doesn't look to me as if you're doing anything wrong on controller either. You're obviously very skilled on both. Then, I'm surprised that it seems like you were expecting your HS% to be better on controller. It's way easier to aim for the head with mnk in pretty much any shooter. That's one of the advantages that mnk has over controller. AA does a lot of tracking in the larger body parts which require more bullets to kill, but it's easier for the mnk player to get headshots and thus drop the enemy quicker. So it's a balance. This is further backed by your percentages. Lower accuracy on mnk with higher Hs%. Means you're aiming more for the head. Aiming for the smaller part means you're missing more shots, thus the lower accuracy. To me your experiment shows that they're actually balanced. Had the HS% on controller been the same as on mnk with the the 30% accuracy vs 21% (or what it was) on mnk, then that would've been a problem. Been playing on both. One pther advantage that mnk has is clearing headglitch spots better. It's actually really hard to fo so on controller. Also - dropshooters. At least in MW3 aim assist seems to almost turn off when shooting at prone players. At least that has been my experience. I've played mw3 early on with mnk. Hated it. I believe people have had issues with this game because of that crap where the gun would aim at a random spot when ADS-ing. Aim assist pretty much cancels that. Coupled with the longer ttk which requires more tracking which is easier on controller, I can see why this game in particular is harder for mnk players. Controller does have an advatange in this one. However, I've also been playing MW2019 a lot recently. Fast ttk, gun points where you want it. I've been doing the same using both inputs. Not much of a difference. The way aim assist is deisgned right now is ideal to me. You get really strong tracking as long as you're on the move. Or if you switch to precision, you'll be aided in snapping, but not when tracking. As I said the problems that mnk playets have in MW3 don't actually have anything to do with aim assist but rather the new mechanics they've introduced which are easier to handle for controller players

I really like how almost never any round is won if our guy marksman is dead, must me nice for him!

If I 5 stack with my IRLs, and THEY have a cumulative KD of 0.75 (we give callouts) is that sweating?

[@morehouse98]

results honestly could've been further apart tbh. 8.8% more accurate is wild though, for a guy like you. imagine someone who plays casually trying this same test, i imagine their values would change drastically from m&k to controller, given how much aim assist has been improved over the past 5 years.

you are underrated pal.

Getting close to binning this game. I just cannot compete against controller close quarters. They just slide past you with the aim glued to your body. From the start the servers have been laggy to the point they are nearly unplayable of late. I know it is an arcade game but I am sick of all the childish shit added to the store and battle pass. Perhaps if we could go back to the days of CoD4 where you could clan rent servers. The UI is dogshit. Lobbying with a friend who pulls you out of gun smithing any time he touches his keyboard is tilting. Why is it 5 clicks to do anything? SBMM spoils playing with friends. Overall the unapologetic delivery of this game and money grabbing leaves a sour taste. We need a worthy rival to change the direction FPS is heading.

I agree 100%. Cod has become a shit show. I feel like it’s catering more and more to the players who are BAD. (Which I guess is a majority of players?) Can’t aim? Aim assist. Still can’t aim? Chronus. STILL can’t aim? Just knife em! Can’t win gunfights? Riot shield. Still can’t win gunfights? Try this new ridiculously broken shotgun! It has 50 rounds so no need to worry about being accurate! Rotational aim assist speaks for itself. No need to speak on that, you did a good enough job 🤣 I respect the attempt in balancing , making bad players stand a chance, but it’s getting ridiculous. Fortnite did this shit back when it started to get popular. Adding LMG’s, Miniguns, Sticky grenades, the stupid hammer, the sword, all that shit. Everything to help a player who sucks at building, compete against the people who know how to build. That WAS the point of the game, to build, to play smart. It turned into a spam fest and after about 1.2k wins I stopped playing. It got bad. I went back to play no build, thought the pump was still meta, but then got slammed by a full auto shotgun , and a rapid fire SMG. FPS games have gotten insanely boring man. I can still compete at a high level, but I’m close to throwing in the towel. It’s the cheaters that ruin it for me.

[@silverslickness90]

nick it was effectively the same 😭 you had 18 more kills on controller u can chalk that up to skill base match makin honestly and ur accuracy stats are even since one is better by 10% and the other is better by 8% and my stance has always been the same that we shouldn’t have cross plat because things will never be equal and honestly it shouldn’t be games aren’t fun when there equal as much as people don’t want to admit it

One thing will never fail: m&k players complaining about aim assist when they die
