4:27 I definitely recommend turning max input threshold down all the way to zero if you want your aim to stay consistent. All past halo titles have had very small outer deadzones, but the default 10 in infinite is very high and will mess with your aiming at times because it will activate acceleration whenever you are in the acceleration zone when you don't intend to. Edit for people looking through this thread, I now have my movement deadzones at 5.5, 15, 3. The center and axial are the same as my look settings, but the idea still stands that look max input should be 0 and movement max input should be 15.

[@mikedergalev]

i left it at 1,5. thought it will cause drift or smth. will try 0 tomorrow. thanks)

[@jackcolson4745]

@@mikedergalev Generally, if your controller needs a little bit of max input threshold, it means your controller has slow turn, but slow turn is exponentially less common than stick drift. Stick drift is present in every controller because it is inevitable. Some controllers just have a low enough drift that you won't notice under a big center deadzone.

[@silly-xd8uq]

Just look sens or both

[@jackcolson4745]

@@silly-xd8uq Just looks sens. I max out all my movement deadzones and I recommend you do too. My look deadzones are, center: 12, max input: 0, axial: 0. I recommend if you come from old halo or just MCC in general to have a decent amount of axial deadzone on (like 8-12), I just have 0 axial deadzone because I'm used to Apex's aiming (which also has 0 axial deadzone that cannot be changed).

[@jayceg.9180]

This helped me. Turning movement threshold to zero really helped me get back that MCC feel and aim I've become so accustomed too. Personally as a guy who's always played on 7-8 aim sens in Halo this game I play on like 5.5 horizontal 5 vertical. Look acceleration at 2 since like you said no Halo has had anything faster. And look deadzone and axial down to 2 as well.

[@Luke_816]

Just as a tip for anyone who plays with controller on PC. Make sure your mouse and keyboard are not actively sending an input while playing. If it is then the game will disable aim assist and just make your aiming so much worse. A good example of this is that I usually had my mouse set to 18k dpi and even though i was playing on controller since the dpi was so high the computer would think it was moving even when it was sitting there still. I had to drop down the dpi on it in order to make my aim feel better, and it is a night and day difference.

[@Erzy-]

You're my hero, Thanks for this.

[@Chrisspru]

i have my keyboard and mouse unplugged, otherwise the AA is off and the game stutters (due to input confusion). after vehicle use, objective use, new rounds or death i also have to hit the xbox overlay button to reset the aa, as it sometimes gets shut of by that.

[@ziolepr8393]

this. Absolutely this. Yesterday I was playing and I had the same Idea when I noticed that I could switch between Pad and KBM seamlessly, I thought tha maybe was the mouse causing that strange "aiming feel". I turned it upside down so the laser won't register any imput, and the game went better. That said, it's mental that we have to go through this kind of stuff to make Halo work well on controller. What the hell 343.

[@Ginogracia]

I liked the T-bag joke. But for people that didnt understand that "Hold for crouch" is not only for t-bagging. Turning that option on is also extremely important for getting good at strafing and dodging while in fights. Meaning that not only can you T-bag your opponents faster, you'll also dodge incoming bullets while T-bagging!

[@rileygshep7606]

Hold to crouch is great for gandi hopping and just having the ability to just strafe and crouch in the gun fight

[@yesididitverywell]

Nah. Toggle crouch is better for crouch strafing. Hold to crouch does it too quickly to be useful

[@Ginogracia]

@@yesididitverywell For newer players that are just starting to understand how to crouch strafe, then i agree with you. But when you are getting to a higher level of play then putting it to hold to crouch wont limit your speed to crouch and dodge. And also to ghandi jump and other useful stuff in Halo.

[@yesididitverywell]

@@Ginogracia nope. Timing is way better with toggle. You need to randomize it so you don't do it in an easy to trad pattern. Especially at high level

To configure your personal Deadzones, turn them down as low as possible and start playing. If you find you're drifting around too much, turn them up by 0.5. Do this until there is no drift.

[@con10r46]

I bought a new series 2 controller but I find my move deadzone has to be above 8 to stop drift I thought it would be lower being a new controller

[@deadlichaos]

personally i think having vertical sensitivity 2 values higher than the horizontal is more optimal. I also think look acceleration should be on 1, it makes it confusing and hard to control if you have it high. When it comes to movement you should have the deadzone on the lowest possible without having stick drift so the strafes are more lethal and responsive. and for aim the same, deadzone on the lowest possible for micro adjustments.

[@jackcolson4745]

2:53 It's also worth noting that the actual values in practice compared to past titles is different. A look acceleration of 1 will feel like classic Halo, an accel of 2 will feel like an 8 on MCC or a 3 on halo 5, and anything after a 2 on infinite is a faster look acceleration than we've ever had in a halo title.

Yea coming from cod and doing 20/20 returning to halo is kinda rough having only 10 as max, the only thing I found that makes turning more linear is just max look acceleration and turning down dead zones to the lowest setting as long as you don't have drift

I honestly think it's way more beneficial to have vertical sensitivity lower than horizontal seeing how targets are much easier to target in the air than the ground. This means you'll be aiming in an oval when you rotate the stick.

[@imSUPERcereal0]

I’ve noticed that I don’t think the sensitivity speed for horizontal and vertical are actually the same, at least technically I don’t think that’s true. Here’s why I think that: when you set them the same and turn to the right or left, the acceleration takes place until max speed and you spin in a circle. However with up and down you can’t spin all the way around on that axis so the ramp up acceleration is limited, which for me makes the vertical sensitivity seem slower when set the same as horizontal. So I bump it up two points more to even that out. It might just be how it feels to me, but that’s what I think. I really want to know exactly what the zoom level is for every weapon so I can adjust those settings.

[@wizman2378]

Every deadzone should be set to zero. Only adjust by tiny increments until you get no drift. Deadzone settings are basically a band aid for faulty controllers. The fact the default is 12 in Infinite is INSANE to me.

[@jackcolson4745]

You never want your deadzones at 0, ever. All controllers have stick drift and it is inevitable. I can see the preference for having no axial deadzones because I myself use none, but you MUST have at least 3-6% radial deadzone if you have no axial deadzone. Why? You don't want yout aim to turn when you don't intend to. When your thumb is not moving the stick, the aim must not be moving.

[@jackcolson4745]

@@daraghodonoghue_ I read the entire thing. I said what I said because of his analogy, "deadzones are a bandaid for faulty controllers". That is a completely disingenuous perspective. Deadzones are meant to help you improve your aim. It's why the axial deadzone option exists. He also exclaimed how 12% is insane. It's not. It's just normal. Your aim has to be still if you're not moving the stick. Deadzones are absolutely not a bandaid for faulty controllers because every controller will have _some_ stick drift, it's inevitable. If you claim they have no drift, the game you play on has a deadzone locked away that you cannot change, or you just don't notice it.

[@jackcolson4745]

3:11 I don't mean to put down your points Nick because they still apply, but these values for horizontal and vertical in infinite don't quite match to previous halo titles. But most importantly, vertical and horizontal sensitivity has never been 1 to 1 in any halo game and infinite is no exception. For example, a 7.5 horizontal and 7.5 vertical on infinite translates to a 7.5 horizontal 8.5 vertical on MCC. So in order to math infinite with MCC you must have a 7.5 horizontal and 6.5 vertical on infinite. You definitely don't want anything wacky, but don't be discouraged from playing with different horizontal and vertical values.

[@THEGUARDIANSTACO117]

That is so weird I have my sensitivities matched in MCC but for some reason in this game it didn’t feel right unless I had my vertical about .5 or 1 less than the horizontal sens. This explains that, thanks! I’ll keep that in mind.

I’m in agreement with the few commenters that say the horizontal and vertical don’t have to be equal. For me, I pay super close attention to my gunfights and try to remember what direction my aim was overshooting. If my reticle is zooming off to the left or right, then I lower the horizontal sensitivity, etc. I’m not opposed to being proven wrong though, because my aim is still frustrating compared to Halo 5. Either something is “off” in this game, or I have a massive misunderstanding of the sensitivity settings.

[@RickyMackie]

Yeah the most important thing imo is the look dead zones. You def want those as low as you can get without drift to give you maximum responsiveness. My move thumb stick is really the only one with much drift so those are set higher. I’m using a Scuf Xbox controller, but every controller will be slightly different. My look center and axial are both at 1 and max at 15. Much easier to track enemies than having it at or near default, causing input delay.

The way I see it the only function of a dead zone is to prevent stick drift. Just start from 0 and if you have stick drift move up a notch and check each time until stick drift is not present.

[@JF-Esthetics]

Yoo, tried it out and never going back. Its insane thank you.

[@WAstEDxLaMA]

The video is great. Thanks for sharing your settings. One thing, though. You mentioned you didn’t mess with the move stick at all but your threshold setting was turned up from 10 to 12 👍🏼

[@Walklikelions]

idk back in the day I forget what game I used it on but i had vert and horz sense different. vert lower than horz. It helped keeping your reticle at head level while being able to track left and right a bit faster.

Bumper jumper is unneeded with an elite or scuf type with extras on the back. Highly recommend onebto anyone who can afford it, and if you get/have the elite v2, get the official scuf paddles for it to replace the originals, SO much better! Also, question, since you said you are using an elite V2, are you using any paddles? Map the 4 face buttons to the back and you never take your thumb off the sticks at all, no config changes needed. Personally I have Y top and B bottom on left, then X top and A bottom on right side, crouch, jump, reload/interact, and swap/drop weapons all on the paddles.

If you are using the Elite series 2 (or any controller with paddles) you can still play with Recon and have one of the paddles as A, Personally I use recon with ABXY, on the paddles and left bumper as crouch and left stick as sprint, worth trying it out

[@JoshRojo98]

I have almost the same settings as you lol, I kept missing shots because of my 0.0 Deadzone 😅 thx nick!

[@shaunmarshall4504]

Your setup actually works a treat thank you nick.

[@jamescarlisle7781]

When I first jumped in I had to set all my sensitivities to max just for it to feel normal

[@izzyvillegas6697]

Bro thank you so much this HELPED ALOT

[@Sonof_DRN2004]

If you have an elite or custom controller with paddles, I’d use right paddle to crouch and left to jump. That’s better than using bumper jumper.

[@nanntuckett8963]

Great video. I think my dead zones are what has been messing with me so hopefully a lower one will help.

[@Mote.]

Every Halo game since CE, hold to crouch is on by default, and I always turn toggle crouch on. But in Infinite toggle crouch is on by default and I turn hold to crouch on because of sliding and the way radar works. I find it funny how the one time its not hold by default, i change it.

[@iandevlin32]

Thanks for that, I got the chief elite as well and been looking for settings. I'll give them a bash!

[@Alex859G]

“I cannot jump while also aiming at the same time” **Laughs in elite controller**

[@JesusCruz-re7bf]

*laughs in claw* *cries in arthritis” But I do play with a elite control tho

[@JudasOwens]

Yesss!! I am from Northern Ireland also buddy, have to game with you some time.. I won a halo 3 all Ireland competition good few years ago 😂

[@Martin23Kings_]

Both center deadzone and axial deadzone is the biggest thing you need to adjust. The lower the better on both

[@An-R-nz6tx]

Great video! You mentioned you have a elite series 2 controller, I've just got one of these and never owned a controller with the paddles before. What have you mapped to the paddles on yours?

[@brianbass8936]

Thanks! Game keeps crashing on pc so it was really hard to adjust to xbox with a gamepad but this helped a ton.

[@bamb5232]

Thank you for the video nick! Epic!

[@Fizzlenog]

My dead zone settings are identical. Only difference I went with is 2 acceleration and 6.5 for horizontal and vertical sens. SOLID settings

[@nathanm1174]

Could you do a video talking about what you do to improve your aiming and consistently hit your shots?

[@brandonwallace1664]

Vertical is actually slower than Horizontal at the same value in halo. Which halo 5 actually defaulted Vertical 2 notches higher than Horizontal sensitivity.

[@johnsimeone4008]

Nice video Nick. Quick question, in training mode when you are setting your options, when you scroll down to adjust some of the options, do your previous options you've just select change by themselves? I've experienced this a fair bit, pain in the backside!

[@jonivansan]

The settings play very good thank you!!

[@nemeciist4553]

i play 7 horizontal with 5 vertical. i like to rotate faster but keeping my up n down scanning more tight. everyone likes different things, but i did see a video that moved your on screen weapon lower and right that was the option i really liked. i personal enjoy default however i remapped melee with crouch/slide b and right stick respectively. im currently diamond 1 almost 2 pushing to onyx

[@DTCJimmy]

This feels tons better

[@mikedergalev]

i found my sweet spot at 2-6-6. look deadzones all 1,5. my right stick has kontrolfreek on it so i was struggling with higher settings. now my aim is satisfying;) i wonder why you don't use your back paddles to jump?

[@NoName-jy9fg]

FYI horizontal and vertical are not linear. Try tracing a circle by rotating the analog stick in a circle. Your aim will be elliptical. Huge discussions on r/halo about it

[@opulenthalo]

Never understood bumper jumper, just play claw?

[@renedietz8926]

Yoooooooooo never saw u here!!!😀

[@opulenthalo]

@@renedietz8926 you have stumbled across early days opulent halo hahaha

[@pug-man6861]

Great video improved my game whats your FOV ?

[@YellowBoltTC]

Custom layout is the best, mine is mostly like bumper jumper with some tweaks

[@jramostt86]

Halo 1,2,3 player coming back. What would be the best settings for replicating that feel? Thanks guys for yall help

[@Seth_metal]

I’m using the Elite series 2 controller as well. Since Halo 2 I’ve been playing with a Sensitivity of 3 or 4. But I’ve found myself having to play on 2.5 on infinite because I was just over correcting and missing shots. Hopefully messing with some of the other settings will help. That or it’s just the fact that I’m old now.

[@mayanalien]

A turtoriak on how to do awesome grapple swings would be awesome.

[@Una2Cold]

Nice content! What size screen do you play on?
