I see a lot of people clamouring for aim assist to be removed, stating that it is OP. When everyone has exactly the same opportunity to use it, it simply cannot be OP. I’m disabled with chronic pain from an injury and several surgeries. My painkillers dull my twitch reflex, among other things. Aim assist is invaluable for me to be competitive in this game, without it I would be unfairly disadvantaged. There are other people without an energy drink induced twitch reflex godliness that deserve to enjoy online gaming you know. ---

Thank you for sharing, OP..Aim assist is for the greater good for some people such as yourself. Like anything in a game it can be abused to benefit the user but those are far and in between. Aim assist largely benefits the community because this is a casual shoooter with a large audience and allows the game to be user friendly. Removing aim assist completely without some form of buffering system will destroy the community. ---

If it’s removed everyone will be playing on a level playing still because it will be off for everyone. People need to learn to aim instead of learning to snap to aim. ---

Well said OP hope you are ok from your injuries and surgery, those energy drinks do work, but way to much sugar in a full can. As for snap to aim with the shotguns, its the fastest way to down an enemy and looks good to watch too, better than watching a guy burst firing imo. In fact those energy drinks are more harmful to our bodies than pilsner lager, i’ve done tests on myself. ---

“I want to play chess but my head is unjured so I cant play chess but I still wanna play chess so chess devs need to develop easier rules!” - I hear it like that… Online games is all about skill but there lack of aiming skill in console version of BF cuz of Aim Assist. Game is too casual with it. @OP dont get me wrong, I understand your point of view but I simply cant accept it. Your deal is unique, I sure dat almost all other players doesnt have any troubles with health. ---

I love how on every AA cry thread there are the same people saying stuff like -“Aim assist is for noobs” Well if noobs are the ones using it, you with your superior skills should be able to kill them easily right? Or did it just so happen, that maybe, you got stomped on by a “noob” and it hurt your precious ego? -“It’s a crutch for scrubs” Does it make playing easier? Absolutely. But that means you should be even more MLG right? -“The game is too casual” What does that even mean? You’re playing it for leisure. It’s a video game. Chill out. Don’t be a try hard. Play to win, but don’t take the fun out of it for every one else. -“Dice is catering to the casual gamers” Guess what, if both of you bought the game, you’re worth the exact same amount of money to DICE. You’re not more important because you’re a “hardcore gamer”. Long story short. It’s a level playing field for everyone. Skill always rises to the top. If you keep getting killed, maybe you’re just not as good as you thought you were. ---

Your deal is unique, I sure dat almost all other players doesnt have any troubles with health. I’ve been gaming since the 1980S and deserve to continue gaming as much as anyone. I hope that you never suffer the misfortune of needing a joint completely rebuilt after injury and go on to suffer chronic pain. Aiming with control sticks on console is much less precise than using a mouse, add on some medication that slows your reflexes and you are severely disadvantaged over other players. Aim assist exists for all to use, those who need it and those that don’t. If you truly understood and respected my point of view then you would accept it, as I accept that you are entitled to your own point of view irrespective of having no experience of the issues involved. Thank you all for supporting my opinion on this matter. I love gaming and will continue to do so even when I’m drooling into a cup and wearing incontinence pants. Nothing will stop me. ---

People need to learn to aim instead of learning to snap to aim. This is untrue. It does help people who aren’t as good or people like this who who struggle to aim. He isn’t saying he would die less he is saying his hands wouldn’t allow him to do some of the work for him. You’re missing the point… If someone has hand trauma and likes to game not having the assist would put him at a severe disadvantage over people who just have to let go of their crutch. You just told someone who struggles to aim because of chronic pain in his hands and medication to learn to aim lol. Not everyone is a pro bro.. and with the aim assist if you’re a beast you should still be a beast. As much as it is a crutch for many, it is also an excuse for many on the opposite side. Most of the guys I see cry about it are scrubs and think if it wasn’t in the game they wouldn’t be a scrub anymore.. lol ---

OP, glad to hear you are still managing to enjoy your hobbies despite what life has thrown at you! To throw in my two cents, I think aim assist has its place in console gaming, particularly if it makes this sort of thing more accessible to those who would otherwise struggle to play at all. That being said, the auto aim is dialed up way too far at the moment. I see a lot of people complaining about the Hellriegel. I don’t think the issue is the gun (hence PC players saying it sucks) I think the auto aim is snapping aim onto your chest and then they only have to spray to drop you in a heart beat. I don’t know if Dice can adjust the levels for classes / individual guns or if it is a universal thing, but personally I think it needs to be removed from Snipers or at least significantly reduced (with the exception of the non scoped variants perhaps). As a sniper, you should be at a disadvantage in CQC. Being able to snap to someone 10 feet away, pull the trigger for 80 damage then have your pistol out a second later is a bit of a joke and defeats the point of the class. That’s not even mentioning the one hit kill ranges… Sniping is incredibly easy in this battlefield in comparison to previous itterations and I don’t think Snipers need this quick scope ability to make the class viable. I think assault could also do with a tweak to make their spray slightly less dominant. I haven’t noticed it being as much of an issue with medic and support. A potential alternative to bringing it down may be to add a bit of weapon sway to someone who has just been sprinting to stop people being able to go from running full speed to having you dead centre in the middle of their sights (I feel like bf4 had something like this?). It’s a tough one as it makes buisness sense for Dice to have a game that appeals to as many people as possible.. I just don’t think aim assist should be glaringly obvious and providing advantage to particular weapons or classes and right now it seems to be. ---

Its the same for everyone, the issue is that its taking business away from those 3rd party sites that pc gamers use. At last a console game that plays like a pc game without using a credit card every month stop crying. ---

You may be unaware, but there are two different types of assists. Slowdown, which slows your aim down when your crosshairs are over an enemy, and then auto rotate. The word “auto” should be enough of a giveaway as to why it receives such scrutiny. ---
