Ha! It's a mixture of both depending on which you are using and how well you are playing.

The funny thing is that tweet that was circulating yesterday is apparently on PC. It's a bug on pc. The aim assist on console looks nothing like that. Pc players out here getting upset now that controller users can finally put up a fight lol.
After suffering in 2042 I don't wanna hear any of it.
Halo was designed around aim assist manipulation since it's a console-centric series, the way shields work was specifically made so that you only need bodyshots for full damage on shields and then a flick headshot for the last shot once the shield is broken, otherwise you need several more shots to drain health. The design focus around aim assist manipulation was incredibly apparent to me when I played MCC on kb+m after previously playing lots of Reach on Xbox 360 back in the day and was struggling considerably more than I had ever remembered.
What's probably happening is that aim assist is a bit bugged, been seeing lots of complaints that it can get shut off.
you can pick up the other weapons, yknow. most of em are viable, although I can't get used to the commando and the pulse carbine seems like straight trash.
we already have an AR… and it doesn't have bloom and has Melinda recoil . The commando has become a more difficult to use AR, with a higher ttk. Why use it?

Bazaar is really bad.
The map list in ranked is generally a bit meh though;
Bazaar is just plain bad.
Streets is okay but there's nothing particularly special or interesting about it.
Recharge is great for strongholds but really bad for Slayer.
Aquarius CTF seems good.
Live Fire is good.
And then you have Behemoth. Which, in some 30 ranked matches, I haven't played once.
I prefer H5 too but sadly I think the ship has sailed on it.
Hopefully we eventually get some playlists where you spawn with unlimited thrust and a pistol which isn't ass :P
this has always been the downside of br starts, the ttk is too long for skill to take over 1v2 situations. With BR The game is all about team shot. That's why we need a proper single shot precision weapon, not one pigeonholed into the role of a sidearm
hell, mangler starts would be better IMO.
As a straight up killing weapon I wouldnt advise it. But as a utility weapon I think its quite effective. If you get a few shots off it will melt their sheilds. 6 hits for a kill, but they dont die straight away.
I'm in the same boat. I enjoyed Halo 5… played it a ton. But it never scratched my Halo itch like this game as done already. If I could get 343 to bump up the jump height so I don't have to clamber so much, I would be in absolute heaven.
Got some terrible weekly challenges with shock chain kills, killing a Ghost and getting kills with a Stalker Rifle. Don't think I've seen a Stalker Rifle yet...
Still at 2/5 Warthog Kills and 8/10 Slayer kills as Slayer not shown up in 10 games of BTB.
Oh shit, we were down like 34 to 45, then I went on a hot streak and got a killing frenzy and we won 50 to 49. Literally still shaking.
The mangler and stalker rifle are 3 shot kills if the last one hits the head. The mangler also does so much melee damage , one shot followed by a melee is a kill.
the disrupter does damage over time, use it to disable vehicles or to poison your opponents shields before switching to a different weapon to finish them. I recommend switching after landing 3 disrupter shots
the shot rifle is a 1HK to the head of the entire projectile stream connects. It also does chain damage to nearby enemies if you land a shot on a person or metallic object
all of these guns are dope in their own way
This game is crack.
Having a lovely time jumping between Ranked and BTB. They offer two completely distinct experiences.
I just wish the map count was doubled, with some added variety. That needs to be their focus for Season 2. Also, I'd love a Christmas present in the form of a classic map remake. Give me The Pit or Midship.

Ugh, another CTF games where teammates are just running around. Shitty challenges. I think I'm going to focus on other games until they introduce a slayer playlist.
Wish I was having more fun, but every game just ends up in frustration.

The mangler is an absolute beast at close range. It's got a massive blade on it (and counts for the 'melee with a bladed weapon achievement).
One shot at an enemy and then follow up with a melee for a kill.
This happened to me also:

The ravager is bad, bring back the brute shot. Pretty much all of the rest of the weapons seem to have a place though, 343 are better at weapon balancing than Bungie ever was. Frag grenades are terrible though. The damage is probably ok, but the mechanics have been fucked with and don't feel like Halo nades anymore. They also look and sound bad. I really hope they are worked on.
Getting shot around a corner is also definitely a thing, and something Halo never had a huge problem with (maybe 5?). I suppose it could be because the faster pace, but its super frustrating when you feel like you've easily evaded a final blow but then get killed anyway.
Other than that, this game rocks even if it is bare-boned at the moment. It feels weird to have a viable AR in Halo. I guess 5 had that too, but it feels even stronger in Infinite lol.

Every time I try to melee someone and miss, the other person just disappears and I have to do a 360 to look where he is, we're just spinning around trying to melee each other. It's weird.

This happened to me too, the seeds glitched inside geometry so nobody could win. Game eventually ended in a tie.
Also had a total control on Hightower that had an A point that couldn't be captured at all...so that was another tie.
Stalker Rifle is a 3tap weapon (3headshot=100% kill). Mangler is funny, i use this weapon with AR.(After a few shots with the assault rifle, opponents die after 1 shot with Mangler.)
I got kicked out of the third big team battle in a row. This is was really frustrating i also had my exp boost activated. The Progress for the weekly challenges isnt saved if you get kicked out of the game.
Downloaded today. Not lost a game, yet I'm getting murdered in every game I'm put in so the team are carrying me. Something is weird about this matchmaking, I feel like a spectator while my 3 men battle it out with the enemy team.
Zero pay to win in the game, pure cosmetic. You were just outplayed. Those power weapon and Overshield spawn on a timer which everybody can see and they always spawn at the same locations. So map control and knowing when to push for a power weapon and pickup is part of the strategy.
I had 2 matches in ranked in a row where people left and it kind of sucks because it feels onesided against a good team - Especially when one of them happened to be Bazaar CTF - so they were taking flags immediately after capturing so not like two people can stand against 4.
The battlepass is only cosmetic. Whoever you were up against was just outplaying you by constantly going for powerful items lol. Make sure to pay attention to the announcements and timers.
Honestly I think its MKB players getting a taste of what aim assist + years of battle royal games and how far competitive console gamers have come in the last few years. Some people on console are absolutely cracked now, play really well. Obviously not *all* but I do think the culture shift and how competitive some games are now, has definitely elevated the overall base of people to improve dramatically.
How do you go 10-32 as a platinum player. I can't even wrap my head around that. Lol. I've gone negative before (just like everybody else who complains qabout randoms) but by 22?! Ouch. Players must be getting carried into these ranks.
Weird ELO placements aside.

Big Team Battle could use more vehicles at spawn

I like most of the maps in this game. I can't remember the last time a MP game launched with this many good maps.
Hi just a quick reminder. You could also get you point across without using ableist language.
