Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

Halp! I can't aim when I strafe anymore. It's so bad now. My DMR right now is so off, when it was getting so good the last month. Now I can't even hit a head. I tried turning off vibration, and raising the sens, but it's negatively affecting my gameplay in other ways.

Raising the sensitivity may be the issue. What is it set at now?

I raised it to a 2 to a 3, but it didn't work so I lowered it back to a 2

It might just work for me, but a trick I've been using since halo 2 was to set my sensitivity 2-3 notches higher than I'm used to, trying to play like that for 3-6 games or so, then switching back to what it was originally. For some reason it always helped me get the feel for aiming back.

That is what I would suggest. Don't panic and start changing a bunch of stuff/ settings.

Keep playing, it will come back.

Someone else may have an opinion.

don't play at 2. play at 3 or higher. also, if you go long periods w/o playing you tend to get sloppy

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I'm sorry?

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Play some games to warm up?

Thumbs. :)

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

Play some octagon. That always helps.

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Reach: MLG, Arena, Doubles, BTB and customs.
Halo 3: Ranked MM and customs.

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.

Play more relaxing playlists like TS, BTB or Multi-team.

Same thing is happening to me. The last few days I've been struggling with my aiming. My DMR shots just won't hit for whatever reason. I don't understand it. Maybe I just need a break from Reach, as I tried Halo 3 and did fine.
