- How to Strafe in Halo? An age old question and the answer changes in every game. I went on a journey to find out the answer, at least for Halo Infinite. The results were surprising but I am happy with them. If you want to improve your strafe at Halo Infinite, give this strategy a try. Also, if you don't know what Tango music is, you should definitely check it out.

This is now my Saturday morning cartoons
I'm truly not prone to hyperbole; this is the best infinite content anywhere. Keep it up, Dodds!
I absolutely love this strafe idea, I've always wondered how the best way to avoid damage in direct fire from an explained scientific perspective not just "Trust me, this is how you do it because I'm better than you" but an actual explanation. Ide love to see a follow up or a deep dive into this sorta stuff more. Well done dodds, love this video, a real banger!
My main problem is subconsciously being calmer with bots and extremely flinchy and aggressive against players with my mouse. I have such a hard time getting over that.
Maybe it's confidence? cause if i'm slammin' i do so much better.
I have the same problem lol
It's sounds super common but relax and breath. Tensing up cusses this
Did you break past the barrier, or at least make solid progress? I'd like to hear about it. This is something I've been struggling with. I've decided to just blank my mind and accept sometimes even perfect play wouldn't have saved me. Focusing on bigger picture strategy and tactics so I don't need to outperform enemies. A lot of growing pains breaking muscle memory and thinking pattern. Oh well, no pain no gain or whatever.
Man I love your videos. I’m getting much better thanks to your tips.
You forgot too that PC players have almost zero straff inertia. The advantage is huge for them.
I guess on keyboard. But most people play controller
@DoddsMcFodds I wish we could see who was playing on mnk like on mcc. Some of those guys have cracked movement!
pro tip: if you go right they wont expect you to go left. i noticed lucid crouches in one direction and steps in the other alot. when my strafe doesn't work, i crouch strafe right twice then walk strafe left. i call it, reverse Cstepx2 stage 0
Kuhlect does it as well.
You would lose a strafe battle against me and many others all day everyday long.
@@originDogStar but just lost the comments battle. Also I was half joking
Considering there's about maybe 9K players playing this game rn, you're doing great work making content.
Saw your other comment! Thanks again for the kind words
You know what I've always wanted to try was a duel mouse set up effectively eliminating the Keyboard entirely so one mouse is tied to movement, grenades, jumping/climbing and equipment while the other is tied to aiming, weapon switching, shooting, and getting into vehicles or you know however you want the set up to be
I think Infinite will support it; people have run Switch Pro controllers I think with gyro aim tied to the mouse. You might could make it work
Lmao dude this is hilariously accurate. Connection is almost everything no matter how good a shot. Great vid!
Ugh i know right
I was told by an Onyx 1700 to go left then right then left and crouch, and repeat until the enemy is 1 shot, then jump to finish him off.
I’ll have to try it
You are not good at halo
@@originDogStar the Onyx player is, go 1v1 him.
Tell that player to catch beyond 9000 on the 8 side
@@BeYoND_9000 what does that mean?
Stick drift incomingggggggg
You are criminally under watched! Incredible content mate 💯
Thanks that’s so nice to hear!
Nice vid I'll have to try this out. I agree, crouching on long distance fights doesn't seem to help much.
I've been watching the sloth series from the beginning - one thing I wanted to mention was the scan feature. I'm sure you know about it but there were a couple of times you were looking for something on the ground and couldn't spot it. Scanning makes it much easier to find snipers/OS/camo that got dropped.
The editing is top notch sir. Reminds me so much of original red vs blue content. I LOL'd so hard at feeling confident in training and going to matchmaking only to get shit on. The music. LOL
Your video style is perfect, nothing has engaged me more on a Halo Infinite video than your stuff! Love it
Glad to hear it!
The ever-elusive strafe. Great content Dodds!
Thank you!
Bro you’re like the Halo version of DreamStrike. I don’t know if you know who that is but if you don’t, he doesn’t the same content but for COD. It’s very close to how you do it except you add more comedy. lol this is amazing.
Thanks!
Your videos are so fun to watch. They're charming, chill, good-humoured and very instructive. It's so cool that content like this exists.
Glad you enjoy it!
I always love when u cut to ranked and the somber music plays….my experience in every ranked game
My fav
Cool strategy but I prefer the "Rambo rushes in for the kill" method😂
Great vid. Need a Deadzones/ sensitivity video soon!
I made a setting video a couple months ago. Should be linked in description i think
“Strafing is like dancing”
*tango musing starts playing ❤
You know you love it
Needs more Summoning Salt music
what type of music is that?
I see Dodds, I crash UA-cam from clicking too fast.
Once again showing off how powerful AA is.
Even the grenades in this damn game have magnetism.
Even the disconnect has magnetism
Your strafeing will never save you from my aim and strafe.
Probably not.
Great video, this gave me so much more insight on movement/strafing, there’s also a settin where u can change how far your stick goes before u start to move and would like to play around with that too
You are not the only one. My thumb hurts like hell daily
my favorite part is when you get first shot on an enemy and you hit every bullet and they still kill despite straffing. Lovely :)
That’s the “better latency/hardware strafe”
Exactly right lol
@@XxRUNTYget good
Love this video! I got to work with a friend on my stafe now too. I can never tell if my stafe is to small or wide enough
Love that!
I really should mention, practicing strafing against bots is a bit useless. They aren't missing like how humans miss, if they want to hit you they will hit you. They have great movement built in, practicing shooting bots is a lot better.
Also I am skeptical on how effective crouching is as a strafing tool. I rarely miss opponents who crouch in their engagements, I struggle a lot more with people with just a good left-right thing going on.
Thanks for commenting! Yeah it was all an experiment. Not a one size fits all method. It definitely helped me find rhythm in my strafe though.
The spartan bots I get while training are just crazy, yours wasn’t even strafing hard.
Some high entertainment value here
That’s my objective!
God how is the content still so fucking good this far in
dedication i guess
Yeah strafing can be tricky to see how it looks. I should watch how I strafe in theater mode, it feels like you get into a pattern and once you notice that player doing a particular pattern they will do it all the time.
The slug in the beginning made me subscribe… I am weak
Lmao had to do it
I wish you would’ve went into your view when talking about the timing of their bursts. My pea brain needs to see that visual. Lol.
I like to strafe with a short and then long but the long strafe in the same direction. (On that particular battle not every battle is right focused or left focused..)My thought, hopefully forces them to to use more right stick aiming. 🤷🏻♂️
I remember having to learn how to do this for H5. Good times
what about in h3?
How is it Dodds has under 5k subs?? Literally some of the best content on the interwebs. Video slaps! #slothnation
Pro tip: stand still. They'll never see it coming ;)
I gotta try this next
Now do it all again with the bandit 😁🤣
I feel like when i'm most in the zone i'm mirroring strafes and nailing the headshots. just letting them make mistakes.
I found this video entertaining
Bout to get picked up by Strafe R3ppin
Traditionally for halo it's been better to aim for the neck instead of the head as bullet magnetism will auto go to the head. (Halo 3 it was more towards the right shoulder for some reason, also 3s elites necks didn't have hit boxes). That way when some one crouches it still hits them and if they jump it still hits them especially now since infinite doesn't do extra damage for heads until the sheild is broken it's better to aim closer to the chest than the neck.
You so smart
Mate your content is so underated!
Hahaha! I love this video. Perfect editing new subscriber here 👍
I’m glad you love it! Welcome aboard.
would love for you to do this but with the new bandit meta
I don’t have paddles and just use default controls so crouching is a rarity for me haha
That makes sense. I’ve changed my crouch button 3 times lol
@@DoddsMcFodds what is it now?
Spartan dance
Tango music intensifies
What classical song was that?
Idk i just searched for tango music
So heres how to strafe, stop playing halo and play the player you're against, you have to feel it. When you feel it you're in the other players head. An once you're in thier head you can do anything. Also its a video game so this next tip isn't alaways true because game durps a lot, but watch the muzzle of thier gun and never cross if its not pointed at you. Look to cross when its already pointed on you. Another tip good old fashion lag strafe from halo 3. Still works.
hahaha yall ever had that kid that was strafing pro as heck and had your reticle going all over the screen?
Great video Dodds 👌
Thank you! HLG for lyfe
I have tried to break down my strafe. While I learned some things, nothing improved LOL. It's hard for me from the player's POV, to gauge what you are doing in your strafe. But maybe that's a mistake because a lot of people are worried about how and how much to move when strafing. I feel there's definitely a timing aspect to it that high players probably subconsciously master.
New here, incredible vid', verry funny
Hey thanks, welcome to Slothnation
Excellent video thank you for compiling this information.
On mnk it’s just annoying. I can still hit body shots consistently but headshots become impossible as I don’t have tracking.
Minute I see someone strafing or crab rave I just grenade and retreat, because I am gonna lose that 1on1 more times than not.
Yeah taking 1v1s is hardly ever a good idea
I see Mr. Doods and I watch and consume my McFoods.
You're one of the most entertaining Halo creators 😂
Which controller setting do you use? I use green thumb and that makes crouching a pain
I dont even strafe
Sure would have been useful if 98% of the player base in ONE PLATFORM ALONE wasn't missing.
Lol in my dreams
solid video!!!
Thanks Caveman
Try a circular motion when u crouch in close range it works better
I honestly prefer the classic strafing so much. The strafe acceleration is too high in infinite to the point where it's bordering on just being random whether your shots hit the player or not. A bit like ADAD on pistol rounds in csgo. Yeah there's an art to it, being able to memorise a rhythm, but it was so much more methodical in CE - Reach (zbns).
I didn't even know you can turn the shield opacity down. I thought it was about like the subtitles font or something. it's completely clear through walls you can turn that off for both teams. and it feels so much more like halo. when this game came out and you couldnt turn that down in thickness or opacity it took me like a month to get used to the fact that the shields always looked popped. like i thought everyone was half dead by default. lol strafing was the thing to do when you had a pistol rifle. now theres 2 rifles or just the br. theres no point. lol.
Yo thank you so much u help me a lot halo is a difficult game
5:30 😂
I really doubt this strafing mattered significantly. It makes way more sense that you got 100 csr bump cause you were playing the game a lot.
I think it made take less fights i was bound to lose.
You'd be surprised how little difference there is between 1400 and 1600. Especially if it's a dead game where nobody is incentived to try unless they're prepping for tournaments
you need more views this video was great
It’s growing! Thanks to you and everyone else
I've started playing with zero HUD or HUD at 0.1 with a 3rd party crosshair (tiny dot) and I like it. I find the HUD and default crosshair distracting. The crosshairs are too busy and HUD occupies my undiagnosed ADHD vision. 😂. I'm going to die anyways.. I don't need to know I had 20 bullets left. I wish there was a toggle to bring it up and then hide it.. or select what part of the HUD to keep onscreen.
Hi Dodds
5 seconds in and I subbed.
Ayyyyyyyyyeee let’s get it. Welcome!
Would this apply to da bandit
I really like the thought process behind this. But I feel that an enemy who is patient can wait to take the shot until you strafe into it versus spamming shots at max fire rate. Sometimes I quickly land 3 body shots and then take a moment to acquire the head and finish them with the BR. I do feel like despite the large amount of aim of assist the BR is inconsistent though.
I wish the bandit rifle felt more responsive than it does.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense!
Another tip is get used to tea bagging 😂 it's crazy but useful if u been tea bagging since halo 3 u can literally do a tea bag/ strafe and u can mix it up if necessary 😉
You are not good at halo
the guy doing subtitles is guessing 💀
Here!
What if I’m on mouse and keyboard and have no aim assist?
I guess I watched this already

Let me know how many kills and deaths you get and what your accuracy is.
When I do this on a really good day, I hit high 80s and average about 85% accuracy. And I have about 40 kills and less than 10 deaths.
What fov are you using?

so ....how do we do this... on mouse n keyboard?
ADADAD control AD control AD
Vary how long you press A or D.
@@JJaX80 I mean the aiming part where he said 'let aim assist do the rest'
Is there any tip for reticle placements and tracking for shooting when strafing?
@@j1883311 yes, subtle movements with your right hand. That’s what I do; just focus on hitting shots and the strafe crouch is autopilot.
But just like on controller, majority of your aim comes from your feet and movement. Also lots of people jump when they’re one shot, so you can jump as well instead of adjusting your aim.
I always limit myself to max 1 or 2 crouches for each duel, more and you'll miss shots

Good video
Good vid
🕺💃🏻🕺🏾💃🏿🕺
You get it
20 ms :( i'm in diamond with 160 ms
It’s not all sunshine for me. I get disconnected every 3 matches and lose -15 CSR
Bro has 20 ping.... 😆 🤣 😂 I haven't ever played with folks who have under 30.
WORT WORT WORT
makes a 3 minute video to over 7 minutes, wonder how long it takes for you to get good
jk
Great tips for strafing :D
It just doesn't matter.. I destroy everyone but the game wants me to stay platinum and gives me shitty teammates... Doesn't matter if I go 20 kills in slayer we lose
Yeah i get disconnected all the time and that -15 hurts after 2 wins making it a +1
@@DoddsMcFodds the disconnects are just true pure sadness
Aim assist is too strong for strafing
Sometimes yeah!
Pros don't strafe.... just watch them. Just aim. If you strafe, you are not aiming
First
I was before you

Editing is on point !
