Aim assist bug, to drive pc players away ?

Hi everyone,

On receiving end it's quite obvious that console players are really stronger since patch 1.2, but a feeling is nothing. And i started to look around to understand if i were right or i was just playing bad and getting mad by myself.

Now i get why i feel cheated by controllers some times since this beautifull patch.

On the video:

I don't know this guy, never watched his videos before but he looks competent, he pretend to be a good player over "casual ones" and it looks true. But still his video shows a lot.

First the amount of head shots. While shooting full auto even at some medium distance with K30, it's a really nice aim.

Looking his test i started to get why, look the whole vidéo but to get the most spicy part, go 5min25 and watch... It turns to a joke.

The player see one enemy, but the aim assist lock on another one he cannot see yet ! The aim assist stop him to go on his target because it locks on another one.

There's no more needed of evidence that aim assist is still broken, but on consoles favor now. It literaly lock on enemies, and even if you don't see them now.

You should agree it's not normal to lock on enemies like it does now.

It's hilarious in the video because it make the player die.. He lose some time to adjust his aim on his taget because the second enemy block his aim. Soo this can be an advantage in most cases but it can be anoying too, aim assist is still broken.

Dice made it stonger to please console players but it's not an acceptable state. Even worst when you know they Dice didn't touch the M&K when it is still bugged.

I' would like to know if Dice is still working on fixing mouse and keyboard for this game.

And if they gona look over this over auto lock aim assist problem.

Because those 2 problems are really anoying, but together it's just a simple "go away Pc players" message from Dice.

No offense to console players, it's Dice's fault enjoy it. But maybe you could get why it's not really good for the game.

@l_Grand_Vizir_l Yo, I don't even complain about aim-assist as a PC player and I'm usually very supportive of the feature since it really helps out folks on gamepad.

But what the hell is that video that's ridiculous. It's supposed to help, not do 3/4ths of the work of aiming for you lol. Do folks using gamepad really need the game to do THAT much for them? >.>

As I posted in this thread after the update and posted the same video a few hours ago:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Aim-Assist-improvements-or-Crossplay-Bunk-Netcode/m-p/11740032#M127144
By default, M&K has an advantage over controllers and right now there is no M&K support for consoles (thanks DICE). So there needs to be some aim assist, especially on moving targets. I always thought it helped keep the cursor on the target as long as you were "close" to do that anyway. However, this seems a little excessive. Like I said in the other thread, once the first shot hits, all the shots hit. I never get just wounded by a console player unless they are killed while shooting at me. Normally the one who hits me kills me almost every time.
From the video, it seems that aim assist basically negates recoil because once the cursor is on the target, all you have to do is keep firing until they are dead without having to control for any recoil. Is that true?
Also, this is not about PC vs Console, both can use controllers. I will have to get a controller and test this on PC. Does anyone with a PC and controller have experience with this?

Lot's of pc players have aim assist and still nothing done about that either.
Makes me laugh when pc players complain, they have every advantage over a console player.
Never noticed aim assist on controller that strong either.
Must have been unlucky.
None of this would exist if console vs console and pc vs pc was standard on next update.
But hey it's New DICE so nothing to be expected to fix it.

"Lot's of pc players have Pc having aim assist..." is obviously wrong.
Please stay on tracks with the subject and don't flame it with absurd preconceived ideas.
M&K are precise tools, but you have to use them accurately, if you don't the game do not play for you. Controlers are not precise and need aim assist but look how far it's going now.
Instead of laughing try to open your mind.
@Adamonic
Thanks yes, it's controller problem with aim assist. It's really hard to discuss with console players who jump on PC vs Consoles as soon as they can...
Yes there is a blatant problem with it but even with vido showing it some kids will say players are "crying"... If only admins could do their job here and calm down agressiv guys.
We all agree controllers are not precise tools and aim assist is needed, but since patch 1.2 it looks like the aim assist does more than the player to hit tragets with controllers in some cases

@l_Grand_Vizir_lTurn off crossplay then it's so simple!!
Not flaming but if your getting beaten by console all the time maybe try another game your skills not up to it maybe.
Most games top scorers are pc players your pc hardware is just not up to it.

Hum... What the ... ?!?!
Ok let's stop laughing...
Dear kona, my PC is not young but i know how to make it works, as i build my own PCs since 25 years. My K/D in this game is around 4, thanks dude i'm okay in the game, and playing since BF2 i think i would know if this kind of game is not for me anymore.
Sorry dude but if you believe someone is complaining only because they're just bad... well it says a lot on you. Look on the arguments, not on your believes...

Oh and by the way, the game is build around crossplay. Turn it off and you have no game.

If aim assist locks on targets you can't even see.... it's too strong. He was auto tracking and lasering with zero recoil, lol.

That’s not fixed but buffed beyond plain silliness!
On that video he’s basically locking onto a player a hundred yards away with an smg loool.
Great way to lose pc players….. bravo well done!

@emerson1975 PC players can use aim assist with controller too.

More like driving away M&K players.

One thing to note near the end of the video, he is moving too! So this works regardless of motion. I don't know if it works with the M5 but I have been hit from some long ranges before on the move.
