Looting deathboxes with controller is unfair
Us controller users are at a major disadvantage since we cannot strafe around while searching dead players loot boxes. This has gotten me killed TONS of times mid-battle since its practically suicid...
Forum Discussion
I could see this if the game was crossplay... But there is no crossplay.. You are choosing to have that disability, but at the same time you get the aim assist so why are you crying now ? I mean if its such a big deal then go back to keyboard and mouse then.. Oh wait ya because then you wouldn't have your aim assist right ? If you don't see where I am getting at then you must know its not fair that people using controllers get aim assist on pc, but you don't see me coming on here making a scene. OH WAIT I DID NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
FYI no a assist at all on this game even for consoles
op, you're talking about using a controller on pc?
Yeah, controller on pc.
Im aware that i can probably use third party software to "emulate" a mouse and keyboard and thus unlocking strafing ability with the joystick... But that would make cursor movement and navigating menus far too clunky for a controller to be effective.
Also something like that may be picked up as a cheat program.
These are YOUR OWN WORDS from your history.
"I'm trying to work out if there's any aim assist for controllers on PC as it doesn't feel like their is from my initial games played so far."
"You had me until you said 'OP aim assist' I play on PC with controller and i can tell you that it just isn't the case."
"This video is a guy abusing aim assist on consoles, the OP is talking about aim assist on PC which is much lower/ almost non existent based on my feelings in play,."
Based on your own words from your history the advantages a controller provides are not enough to warrant any sort of handicap. The autoaim is "non existent" to you.
So how about you explain that... Because your illogical behavior is why im doubting you.
You cant state in one forum that the auto-aim is not any issue and then clearly state here that it in fact is such an issue it must be balanced out by restrictions to player movement.
Seems like you just want to argue with people and will change stances just to argue.
Firstly, at no point have i said that any aim assist is a balance for restricting movement. I'm just pointing out there's one advantage using that set up, and there's another advantage using another set up.
Secondly, I do change my opinions, but based on the evidence gathered and presented. When I made that post earlier in the week i'd not clocked up as many hours as i have now, and i was still switching between kb/mouse and pad to see what felt right for me. At that time I was confused as i'd seen posts on other forums and reddit hyping up the ability of autoaim in this game. I've since clocked up the majority of my total game time on pad and have a much better feel for the minimal aim assist i feel exists. I've also seen a number of video's like the one posted in this thread where people test the aim assist and prove there is some there. To clarify my position I think there's a slight aim assist - i mentioned that in comment #5 on this topic, i'll add it below:
"If we say that mouse/kb users shouldn't be able to move whilst looting death boxes, do we also say that controllers shouldn't get aim assist because mouse/kb players don't get it?? (even though it's minimal in this game)"
Finally you've once again sidestepped my follow up discussion points on the differences of pinging between kb/mouse and pads as well as mouse buttons 3-9+
Seems like you want a change because it'd benefit you, rather than actually discuss it.
