Aim Assist improvements or Crossplay Bunk Netcode?

What did that do with Aim Assist? It seems really OP right now.  I would curious to see how console players are doing now since the 1.2 patch? Every encounter with a console player is a death now. ...

I have noticed dying behind walls to console player but that might just be the netcode

Other than that nothing new to worried about

Console players still tracks people through smoke like it's nothing but they still manage to suck

Going to do a quick warning here for everyone.

Stop with the Console vs PC conversations and who is better. Each platform is valid and so is there experience this is not a fight for who is better and respect each other.

    I tought it would never happen, but i have to agree with Atic here. Both pc and console have their own problems and i believe the trouble lays network/patches/update etc wise, and not person wise. I hope this will be fix for both sides, so we all can play the game how its ment to be. I for one don't mind playing with console players...they kill me and i kill them..i see no differents. I totaly understand that some console players prefer to play only against other console players, so i hope for them there wil be a console only option. In the end...we are all gamers and we like to play..no matter if you are a noob( like me ) or a ace. Specialy now with what's going on with this game, we have to stand united.

    @EA_Atic Console only crossplay with opt in crossplay PC would be really beneficial for resolving this. Also means it fairer for all. Myself and other people have certainly requested it enough.

      Based on these videos, aim assist is part of the problem. It still has limitations, but it sure feels sticky when you are on the other side:

      So just ADS'ing locks you on the target (if that option is enabled)? I have the exact opposite. If I ADS while already on a target, I have to re-aim because the crosshair is now off the target. 

      Also, before console players flip out on me (again). Aim assist is needed, especially for moving targets, but balancing its strength is key.

        @Adamonic That video is a bit misleading as he explains in a later tweet. All the aiming and the the amount he has to move the stick is player controlled. He can just feel when the aim assist kicks in and use it, and it definitely isn't as easy as he makes it look as my efforts would demonstrate (I would've liked to have got into a portal server to get a test but the game wouldn't have it, but that's another issue).

        There is a setting that will snap when ADSing but in all honesty it's very weak, unless it got a massive buff (I've not used it for years so wouldn't know). It will aim at the nearest limb if you are a bit of target, I'm talking cm here not something you'd see in single player games where the game aims for you. The same person has a yt video explaining that lots of times it will hurt your play as much as help it.

      @MortalitasWolf Agree that PC should play on their own servers and PS5 and Xbox series on their own. Who wants crossplay that obviously doesn't work for either side?
