are you not understanding that controllers are not as accurate as a mouse thats why aim assist is there to put the accuracy of a controller on par with a mouse ---

> [@snakeheadinvade](#): > > are you not understanding that controllers are not as accurate as a mouse thats why aim assist is there to put the accuracy of a controller on par with a mouse I understand it fully well. I’ve played PC and console games for years and currently prefer console for convenience, but I still get that mnk is more accurate. Are we talking about comp level gaming here? Or cross platform? Or mnk users on console? If we’re just talking about pub matches within the same platform, then everyone has the same handicaps and abilities until the programmers start adding crutches. ---

I would’nt mind is aim assist was reverted back to bc2 or bf3 levels where you barely noticed it was event there. As it is now it feels like enemies are giant electro magnets that just attract your gun to them, if anything it just lowers the skill cap and makes the game more oriented towards newer players. And yes I am fully aware that a mouse and keyboard is more accurate than the controllers but that does not meen we need a built in aimbot in ANY online game. ---

you do realize i say we need aim assist but not snap to.. everyone else wants it completely gone i can tell you the hardest thing for me isnt etting on target its tracking the target, i hae my sensitivity quite low i have it at 30% on console so it would be easier to be on target ---

i understand clearly what you are saying but i am also expressing my own opinion, i never cared for aim assit on battlefield and have always turned it off from day 1, i have never felt at a disadvantage not letting the game do the aiming for me. hell at times you even get a clear advantage on aim assit users cause you can decide where exactly you want to shoot not just the general direction. to sum it up : learning to use a controller effectively is not that hard it just take a little bit of time ---

We need it for console controllers. No, we do not. If you want to be a casual, that’s great, be casual, and be OK with it when someone with more skill wins. If you want to win gunfights, work on those 3000 hours. You people just want the fruit with no labour. Lazy. ---

That should continue in BF1 with Gas and Smoke (I say should, because I don’t want to confirm anything yet). > > It’s important to balance the accessibility of aiming assistance with skilled play. It’s important that a skilled player doesn’t view assists as a crutch or unfair. Would you like to see snap aiming assist be only enabled at close range? I think that might be a nice balance of help vs skill. > > What do you think? > > -Alan Kertz > Lead Gameplay Designer Have you considered ways to get around ChronusMax and XIM4 from allowing the mouse and keyboard to be detected as a Controller on the PC thus allowing Aim Assist on the mouse? ---

Until then, I’ll take my games the way they’re being made: fun and accessible for gamers to play without putting in hours practice. ---

Honestly, I’m in the camp that says remove it completely. Perhaps have it enable for people when they are under level/rank 25. Then have those people play in lobbies with others that are their level and let them slowly be weaned off auto aim.
