“I’m gonna keep this brief cuz i realize this video already has way too much information “ no my dude, I play mnk but this type of content is gold for the HI community. helps people reach a higher level of skill/confidence. this is awesome
Great content. Patience in Halo, just to name a few, is: knowing when you don't have player number advantage and waiting for your teammates before making a play. Not chasing or rechallenging one shots if it puts you in a vulnerable position. Holding power positions with good lines of sight even if you don't see someone immediately. Letting your shield recharge fully. Sometimes Not shooting your gun when behind enemy lines. Controlling the map and living just for a power up/weapon. Timing attacks with camo. Not getting frustrated with bad teammates. Letting them strafe into your reticle. Not making over adjustments. And some other shit. 😅
Thank you skyway! I 1000% want coaching, I’ve played nearly everyday since launch and want to step my game up even more. Been robbed of onyx to many times due to either my bad habits and also well…. game crashing. The game deserves more work from the studio and more love from the fans if they just see the potential this halo can bring to future halos.
So much of this advice towards the end regarding watching pros and pretending you are them, and thinking about their divisions and why is so valuable not only for halo but for learning in general.
Patience in halo is going for crosses, not kills. Especially objective, but even in slayer, setting up crosses with your teammates to cutoff key lanes instead of pushing to get that 1 extra kill or when you're outnumbered 3 - 1. Takes map awareness, takes coordinated teammates, sometimes takes letting your teammate get the final shot, but when its locked in, its awesome. Obviously a more defensive strategy, so it wont work for everything.
Thank you, even as a Keyboard and Mouse player this is super helpful especially the inclusion of Leading with your Eyes and the video edits to provide a visual.
Luke the notable used to do a series where he would react to a full games footage from theatre that players could send in, and he would give tips and analyze their gameplay. I think you could put an amazing and much needed spin on this idea
Shyway, thanks for the amazing content. I wish I had the time and patience to create like this. The only extra things I would add are to practice keeping your hands "loose" while aiming to prevent tense lock, and also try not to pin the right stick all the way to the edge while in a gunfight. To further the intentional point, I keep myself in this zone by only pulling the right trigger when my aim is on the enemy. Duh, right? But no, too many people fall into a rhythm especially with the BR and simply pull in a cadence. Finally breathing is very important. In through nose, out through mouth, and do not stop breathing in a gunfight. Having good posture really helps with this. I try to keep the back of my shoulders touching the chair at all times. Gamer slouch limits oxygen and also causes shoulder/neck fatigue which can keep you out of the flow state. Lucid is a good example. This can take a while to relearn as how you lay your wrists/forearms on your legs will probably change and mess with muscle memory.
Fantastic video. The academy and bots have made a huge difference in my ability to train my aim. Lots of great advice to practice and improve. Thanks Shyway!
Any possible way you could post pictures of just your settings? I'm visual and all the sweet sweet numbers are covered by your camera haha. Love the video though thank you Shyway!
This vid was AWESOME! I learned things I never knew even as a long time halo player myself. Keep this sort of content coming and good on starting a Patreon. I’m always willing to support good content creation!
This was such a great video! This is useful to all tiers of players. I loved the way everything was explained, things I unconsciously do in game translated into words! Thank you!
IMO, I think i'm lacking in managing micro adjustments and most importantly my confidence :( Even my friends who I play with have noticed these, especially the last one. Thanks for the video, gonna keep them in mind!
Thanks man i have improved in my aim i got a question when i play ranked i play good getting a good kda sometimes getting more kills in the lobby but i still lose in slayer i win most of the matches but like in ctf or odd ball i always lose do you have any tips to improve in objective modes
Watching this essentially solidifies that ill never be good at Infinite. I could figure this stuff out semi-decent in H5, but i cannot even begin to figure this out on Infinite. IDK what it is, but i just suck at this one lol. Overall though, great video as always Shyway 😁. Keep it up man 🤘
Absolutely awesome video with fantastic tips. As someone who is looking to getting back into Halo, this just pushed me to reinstall the game and have more fun in infinite. Ty 🙏🏽
As a K&M player this was a weird experience. You mostly talked from a controller perspective, but there were still some good tips that applied to both. I've realized patience is really helpful for aiming. It helps with all the thinking you have been talking about, since you have more time to think if you're patient. Also, if you take your time to aim, you may be more likely to die (especially if the enemy aim is really good) but you are also more likely to hit shots you take. This makes your muscle memory better and helps a lot with precision weapons where you only need to hit a few shots.
Excellent video I loved when you explained the benefit of aiming with your movement. I learned that from halo 5 with your videos and others. I use both sticks depending on the situation consistently getting 56 60 percent accuracy but with this information I can finally dial my settings down.
What I do to practice right stick aiming is to go the range and solely use the right stick and trigger. I also just follow the targets without shooting with the right stick.I leave the left stick out altogether that’s how I got accustomed to the sensitivity.
Honestly just put a custom curve on your controller thumb sticks that cancels out the default. That way you play with a linear curve. For a precision shooter like halo it’s crazy they don’t just let you pick the response curve you want
I think step 4 is a bit more than confidence. I notice I do a lot better when Ive eaten, and I go into a game happy. I do poorly when I’m irritable. Not only is it being confident, but also comfortable and having a positive mindset
To get zero acceleration/thresholds. Recon inverted hold to crouch hold to sprint maintain sprint OFF whala 😮. X is zoom toggle and sprint. So you gotta turn maintain sprint off at that point because if you don't you get blurry uncrouched going back and forth 5x to 10x with the scope. 😅
This is why I respect control players compared to mouse. The amount of things you have to practice and master is far harder then simply moving and pointing a mouse on a screen.
Basically deadzones are all the same just raise them from zero until bots stop dragging the reticle around when they run across your crosshairs. I play 5 on both x and y on both sticks. 0 thresholds. 1 acceleration 5 and 5 sensitivity.
I like: 5 acc. 10 horz sens 9 vert sens 0 min look threshold 15 max look threshold center deadzone 0.5 axial desdzone 0.5 I feel like this more linear playstyle allows me to track enemy movements with less stick movement, and no stick jerking; i.e. pushing the stick far from the center and then bringing it back to center to adjust for enemy movement. This is far too excessive for me, and i need no stick jerking with my settings
I just wish my sniper zoom sens would be the same as my regular sens like halo 3. My aim is still amazing in h3 but slightly above average in infinite. More settings is cool but i wish there was a way to just do it old school mode as well. I know mcc has more settings now but im still dialed in on that one
You can change your sense in zoom - go to your x5 and x10 zoom sense in settings and up it to 1.2 or 1.3 - should feel more similar to H3 this way - you can experiment w/ it if not
All this is great until you play online. Every game I play, there are times I have red reticle, get the hit markers, but do no damage. It kills any fun or desire to play because the game tells me I'm on target, but then I die and it's says no you actually missed he's full shield. I know every one is going to say "skill issue" but how can I improve when the game says my shots are both hitting and not hitting?
