You would be wrong.

 I am on console. Everyone in my lobbies has aa. 

You wanna know what I see on my death report? Hardly any head shots. 

"never said it locked onto my head but it sure did keep it there" was said earlier in the forums about how aa kept the cross hairs on the players head. 

Now I'm not the best player and I definitely don't just stand there and take it in the face, but when I'm going against players of higher experience than me, and there's maybe one or two head shots, it really makes one wonder where the heck you're getting your information from.
