I don't know if anyone else here has tried playing Halo: PC with a controller but there's no auto aim because it's designed for the mouse - this makes gameplay difficult and exciting, it also seperates the men from the boys and this is just what Halo needs!

Your thoughts?

UPDATE: It seems that Auto Aim shouldn't be completely taken off, but dramatically reduced.
An option to turn it on/off or reduce it would be a bonus too.

lol well the mouse is different... with no auto aim with the controller... its just too hard. that's why its so hard to kill your own team cause there's no auto aim on them

Maybe not completely remove it, but drasticly downgrading it would be nice along with removing most Melee lunge.

Not going to happen on a console shooter.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

I'm kind of indifferent. I think the game will be competitive however Bungie eventually decides to design it. Halo 3 has aim assist and autoaim, and it is certainly still a very competitive game.

By the way, aiming is not the only skill in Halo.

i like auto aim, it helps you trail, but you still cant just let it sit there and expet to just pull the trigger and hit somthing

Not by a LONG shot, and that is the problem in H2 and H3.

What do you mean me?

  • 06.10.2009 11:46 AM PDT

almost all console games have autolock. It makes the game faster.

  • 06.10.2009 11:47 AM PDT

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

You want to try Halo without auto aim? Turn on Team Slayer, put everyone on one team, and try to betray each other, good luck.

but it was no where near the competitive level of Halo CE which had very little auto-aim but high aim assist.

That's pretty much what I'm trying to say! That's how I play Halo 1.

I agree about the melee lunge its ridiculous I swing from the same distance and nothing happens,but the other guy does it and hits me from 10 feet away.

The game is competitive because millions of people played it. Every multiplayer game is inherently "competitive." That doesn't necessarily mean its a balanced or skill-based game.

Aiming is not the only skill in Halo, but it does affect almost all the other skills in the game. Plans cannot be executed well if a player has poor aim, positioning doesn't matter as much if a player has poor aim.

I think while we're on the subject, aiming IS a skill in Halo, or it should be. Halo 3 has such slow moving/strafing players and high aim-assist that aiming is practically incidental. Hardly a skill at all anymore.

As long as it's nothing like Halo 1's aim assist. You people can say all you want, but man was it ever strong... I don't ever miss that head-shot when I snipe.

THANK YOU!

I'm getting a little tired of pointing out just how easy it is to kill someone with a scoped weapon in that game.

I'm not the only one any more!

I'm sorry, but its balatantly apparent to anyone who's played all the games extensively that Halo CE had the more challening aiming system. While the aim-assist was comparable, players moved and strafed much faster in Halo CE.

If you didn't ever miss the head shot, you were playing bad players.

It has nothing to do with the skill of other players, I'm speaking about the actual strength of the aim-assist. I can't hit a damn thing in Halo 2, and Halo 3 is a little bit of a struggle, but Halo 1 is quite easy. The only thing I notice different in Halo 1 than 2 and 3 is the weak bullet curving.

I'm not talking about the skill of other players, I'm talking about how fast the game allows them to strafe and move. And if you have trouble hitting players in Halo 2 and Halo 3, theres no way you hit headshots in Halo CE.

  • 06.10.2009 2:04 PM PDT

What spectagon are you in?

lol do you know how hard it would be with no auto- aim.

no aimig isnt but 95% of ure fans think it is
how unfortunate
please drastically change Reach MM so its not all the same so its harder to play and MORE tactical.

We're still not on the same page, what I'm saying has nothing to do with the speed and mobility of players, just the simple strength of the aim assist (in correlation with the bullet magnetism, if you want as well)

oh and auto lock and aim assist are very important mostly because there realistic

in real life you see an enemy youre instantly going to aim ure gun in their direction
this is portared in video games via auto lock and aim assist.
shure it would be harder without but who cares ure good enofe as is.
u want harder go o settings and switch around ure controls and max out sensitivity kk
