there’s no need for it, and it kills any fun tbh
don’t hold our hand, we will adapt and over come
SP is fine, but aim assist has no place in a MP game
thanks
A true Battlefielder! No more holding hands DICE! Bump this!
Oh hell another AA discussion.
I agree with OP
They won’t remove this because of the casual gamers. I’ve been in lobbies in bf4 where 2 people couldn’t shoot each other from about 5 metres away it was hilarious to watch.
If you didn’t have aim assist the keyboard and mouse warrior would butt u so bad it would be even less fun then the aim assist. And yes it’s getting more popular to use for fps because u can aim twice as fast and can control recoil and its twice as accurate.
a lot of people need it though.
i cant imagine them getting worse then they already all.
You do realize that it’s virtually impossible to aim with a controller without aim assist right? There’s a reason why every console shooter has aim assist. If you took it off everyone would be so hilariously bad and any engagement would take up half your ammo reserves. If dice removed aim assist the only thing you would see on the internet are people telling dice to bring back aim assist.
They may want to put this thread and the no 3D spotting threads together and they can all be best friends lol.
I know AA can be annoying sometimes, but it’s here to stay untill they start making controllers that are just as accurate as a mouse.
Back in my day. We didn’t have Aim Assist in SOCOM. YOU needed skill to even think about getting online. Green up.
You sir made me laugh out loud. Havent used aim assist (auto rotation) for years, and few months ago I disabled auto slowdown as well. Playing on a standard controller with xl control freeks, and I can still nemesis almost every aim assist abuser. However aim assist is annoying, if it were to snap near the enemy instead of snapping dead on target it would be fine, because the end user such as your self would still have to do most of the aiming in order to kill your target. Almost every player on Battlefield 4 uses aim assist and why wouldnt they, its an aim bot, it aims for you and it keeps locked itself onto a running target, how messed up is this ?
Yes lets all cry about how casual gamers needs aim assist but is that true ? Been speaking to many people and they dont even know what aim assist is until you tell them how to disable it, so in my opinion everyone here who are defending “casual gamers” needing aim assist are abusing the benefit of aim assist spam themselves. Hate me all you like, but at least have some balls to play the game engaging every skill of yours regardless how limited it is.
They don’t need to take it out completely. They just need to drastically reduce the snap. You get an enemy player run past your sights and it drags your whole screen across - that’s a bit silly.
Somehow I don’t believe you and your “leet” skills.
Just going to add this, as someone who doesn’t use aim assist because it sucks balls with sniper rifles.
Much of you seem to be forgetting that modern day consoles allow you to use mouse and keyboards, and have multiple USB ports on them. And that this option is becoming INCREASINGLY POPULAR when it comes to online first-person shoooters.
If you remove AA from the game - those using controllers (which have MUCH lower DPI than mouses as well as shoddy stopping) will get royally SCREWED by M&KB users.
This is for various reasons. One of the main reasons is because with a controller, you’re literally only using your thumb to aim - with a mouse, you’re using your ENTIRE forearm and wrist. Aiming becomes much faster and much more precise, because you have a TON more control over it than if you were literally only using your thumb.
The next thing is that M&KB users can press EVERY action button in the game without removing their ability to aim simultaneously - whereas controller users have to REMOVE their thumb from their “aiming” thumbstick in order to reload, to jump, to crouch, and to switch weapons. You can’t jump shot, you can’t aim while trying to crouch, and you can’t keep your aim on a moving target while simultaneously trying to switch weapons. This, of course, is an INHERENT advantage those using M&KB get over controller users.
Lastly, controllers don’t have the ability to stop their aim as quickly as a mouse. For instance - you’re aiming at a guy that’s running to your left, so you try to compensate your aim to lead him - BUT HE STOPS ON A DIME. Now, if you’re using a controller and go to stop aiming, your aim WILL NOT STOP until your thumbstick reaches dead center, meaning you will continue moving your aim in the same direction until your thumbstick moves from it’s limit, all the way to the center of the “ball”. Whereas if you were using a mouse, you can literally stop moving your mouse, and your aim will immediately stop and give you extra time to compensate compared to the controller-using player.
So in situations like this - AA is essentially all average, casual gamers have to even the odds against the DROVES of people who are now using a mouse and keyboard, as it’s actually become a valid option with consoles nowadays.
Not to mention that JackFrags uploaded a video where he was playing Ghost Recon Wildlands and purposefully told his audience to ignore his aiming because he was forced to use a controller.
Trust me - I’ve been playing without AA for a long time, and when I first turned it off, it took A LOT to get used to, and I’ve been playing Battlefield since the franchise started. For the casual gamers, which make up the MAJORITY of the BF playerbase, turning off AA after they’ve had it since BF has been on consoles would just cause them to get destroyed even more than they already do.
To finish it - if you’re in a gunfight with a casual player using AA, and you have AA turned off and are used to it, and the casual player still kills you, it more than likely wasn’t solely because of AA. People treat Aim Assist like it’s some sort of aim-bot when it’s literally an effect that lasts such a little amount of time, that most casual gamers I know can’t even get their aim up and get centered on target quick enough to take advantage of it.
We all have the option to turn off AA - if you don’t like it like I didn’t, turn it off. I still do GREAT using only sniper rifles (in CQB) when everyone else is running around with it on.
I’m sorry I offended you and your l33t controller skills. I’m sure you’ll do just fine without aim assist and it’s my fault for abusing the aim assist mechanic, as since I’m defending the use of aim assist it must clearly mean I must also rely on aim assist myself.
Sincerely,
a pc player
First off, I play on PS4. You can indeed play very well without aim assist on consoles. There are also a lot of people that would get completely destroyed if they were forced to play without AA.
I wouldn’t mind if they removed AA entirely. That it is not going to happen though. What could be done is to remove the auto rotation or seriously tone it down. It is more like auto aim instead of aim assist in BF4.
Then there is the increasing amount of M+KB on consoles, which is very unfortunate imo. Players with controller definitely seed some assistance against them.
Tl;dr: Very likely nothing with aim assist will change.
Believe it …!!!
