"A life lived for others is the only life worth living" - Albert Einstein

"I have your RCON right here." - Iggwilv

"Always my pleasure to be lazy." - InvasionImminent

I was talking to a friend of mine recently and he seems to remember a setting where you could turn off aim assist in one of the Halos. He's determined that it was in Halo 2, but I've checked every single Halo. I've found no such setting option. He says that it might have been taken out in one of the patches (No idea why they'd do that...)

Can anyone with Halo 2 on v1.0 tell me if there is a setting where you can turn aim assist on/off?

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Maybe he is confusing Aim Assist with Auto Centering?

Already asked that and he's determined in saying he'd never confuse the two. He's definitely not the type to get confused by the two terms. xD

Hmmm...maybe he is trolling you? Lol jk.

Hopefully someone here with v1.0 can confirm, but I don't ever remember a setting for aim assist even in the pre-patch days.

Not as far as I know. I wish you could turn it off, I hate being in a fight and you are tugged away from your intended target constantly. What a hindrance that's always been for me.

The funny thing is I remember there being one as well in one of the Halos... Seems odd...

I don't mind having no aim assist while using a controller due to my low sensitivity. I do it from time to time on PC just because I feel like lying back for a bit. Mainly for single player, of course. :P

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I have 1.0 and I can confirm that there is no option for Aim Assist to be taken out to my knowledge.

It's possible, but pretty damn highly unlikely, that your friend bought a debug disk with some unused features in it. It's happened with other games.

I do believe the copy he has is a press copy so that might mean something? (Used to run a game review site.)

Wilis_kid was able to get his hands on the beta...maybe he can check just for fun. I am not really sure what a press copy is, but that would be cool if you could borrow it.

A press copy is one given to certain people to help with publicity and reviews early, right? If so, then I suppose it could happen.

Hey.

The only Halo game that allows AA to be disabled w/o mods is through activating one of the skulls in Halo CEA. Halo 2 never had the option (maybe it does in the PC version?)

It doesn't in the PC version and we both sort of remember a Halo doing it. It's been so long so our memory is probably messed up.

Oh well, thanks for the help.

It's not good... I swear I feel like I'm in my 40s when I'm only 19. I need to get out of this chair and live a bit more. \o/

Can that be turned off?

Auto look centering is off by default :P Go into Halo 2's control settings and turn it on to see what it's like if you want. It's nothing someone experienced with FPS games would ever want... Trust me >.>
