I am very into first person shooters. I have always loved games such as Halo, Call of Duty, and Battlefield. And playing on my main pc, I am a pretty competent player. I like to say I can really help carry the team to victory. But on my steam deck i totally suck at shooters like Halo. I was averaging 0-2 kills on my steam deck tonight, whereas last time I played Halo on my pc I was averaging close to 30 kills a game. Anyone else feel like the steam deck is hurting their performance?
It’s all up to what you’re used to.
I was very good in PC shooter until I switched to console. Took me some months to get to a 1.0 k/d, and after some years I got pretty good again.
Switched back to PC 6 months ago, most of my skill with kb/m is now gone. I’m too old to want to improve so I get used to being a noob. But that’s okay
Keyboard and Mouse is just superior to a gamepad
Just look for gyro aiming, it’s a night and day difference from just using the analog stick
I’ve used the gyro aiming, but so far, I have yet to actually get it set up where I can accurately use it. Maybe I just need more practice. But it feels either far too sensitive or far too sluggish in an actual match. I’m still trying to find that sweet spot.
Yeah I’m trash with a controller in fps games, even single player games like doom feel sluggish/diminished on controller imo.
You can play with your preferred input on a Steam Deck. Hook up a mouse and keyboard if that’s what you’re used to, or if you have a preferred controller, connect that.
