So it seems even though 343i added in adjustments to aiming and the controls, the issue still remains for some including myself. Its a core issue and needs to be reverted back.

I honestly have no idea what you're on about. What's the exact issue here?

Are you having trouble staying on target? Are you over-aiming?

 

Most of the issues that presented with aiming at launch and somewhat beyond is fixable with the extended controller adjustments put in. There's even a certain setting value that makes your aiming behave the way it did in the beta.

 

"Currently, this value defaults to 3. For Halo 5's launch, we made the Look Acceleration a tad faster than it has been in past games and the Halo 5 Multiplayer Beta. This was done in part to help you make large aim corrections a bit faster (for example, if someone is attacking you from behind it allows you to more quickly do a 180). If you would like the Look Acceleration to match the Multiplayer Beta, use a setting of 2 here."

Well I have noticed even with the update that we got, that t he aiming is still messed up and it might possibly be that whenever they give us a new update it might affect the current aiming mechanics in a way we might not notice because I have seen people state it on Waypoint, but i have been trying to adjust my setting to fit but nothing seems to work and I went back to the MCC and Reach to see if I was just doing poorly and I didnt have issues there.

Regarding aiming updates, they have only made two in total, and both were required and necessary updates. They do not update the aiming or any core mechanic on a week-to-week basis. If you're interested in what each weekly patch covers, read Bravo's weekly update, as it includes the change log.

 

The first aiming update was a hotfix. From launch, the aiming in Halo 5 was actually very flawed -- the speed of moving your aim diagonally was incredibly slow compared to the speed of aiming in a horizontal or vertical direction. This was a broken mechanic from day 1, however thankfully they fixed this in a large patch a few weeks after the game launched.

 

The second and only other update that has been made to adjust the aiming mechanics of the game has been to address this "squirrely aiming" issues that the pro team had at longer ranges. This jitter was caused by the way Halo 5 interpreted the controller input into the aiming ingame. In previous Halo games, the controller "dead zone" has been a pre-programmed, preset value, built into the game. This dead zone nullifies a portion of your controller stick movement to prevent stick bias or unintended movement. Translated to the player, this means there is technically a slight delay between when you move your stick and when your player moves his aim, simply because this dead zone setting ignores the first portion of your stick movement. In previous games, this was a flat value, and the playing field was even and consistent controller to controller. Prior to this update, there was no dead zone programmed into Halo 5. To revert to pre-update aiming, simply reduce your dead zone to 0%. However, please note that your long-range aiming will be susceptible to jerky movements, unless you have excellent stick control.

 

Also, just want to point out: it's not really helpful at all if you just say "the aiming is messed up." Please provide specific critiques and information as to what you feel is wrong with it, otherwise your complaints will not be heard or acknowledged.
