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 got some trade kills, but if I get hit with one bullet, no matter what, I am dead. Has any else noticed this? I finally got a lag free game in and then every engagement is a death by console player.

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.

I have to laugh at you PC players whining.The only thing they did was remove the aim slow down bubble that was making it damn near impossible to track moving targets.The snap aim still doesn't work 80% of the time, there is no horizontal tracking/assitAs a Series X player the only noticable difference after patch my aim isn't stuck in lag do to the aim assit bubble anymore.So if your losing to a console player its because they out shot you not to aim assit. The only difference now is console players aren't being even more handicapped by the old aim assit.

@xXHappy_PuppyXxTotally agree that the net code via cross play is creating much of the TTK/TTD/hit reg/desync/lag compensation/etc issues with BF 2042, along with the fact there are not enough players online at one time consistently for the MM system to fill a game server with players in localized low latency zones. So add packet loss and 300ms and higher pings to the net code equation formula of online chaos.As it stands, BF 2042 net code is like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle...sometimes it is impossible to predict outcomes so it just manufactures player reality from nothingness..😛Honestly the PC/Console "Aim-Assist" debate is is just predictable tribal human nature, but is mostly a distraction from logical reality that BF 2042 contains a few dozen major net code issues that create a system of inconsistently fair gameplay.And other games have similar issues. For example, I play a game that is PVE with players across the entire globe, running 200ms to 300ms pings, and it worked great until the Devs recently added "cross play". Now PC/Playstation/Xbox players can't even go one round without someone dropping, new weird lag effects are constant, basically ruined the game as the net code can't handle both the high latency and the different platforms now, and it was fine with high latency and the same platforms previously.BF 2042 running five different platforms was a neat idea, but the idea is better than reality with 128 player modes full of high and low ping players using a MM system only really works well with tens of thousands of players, not a couple of thousand online....Dice knows this, but the game was sold as 128 player, so no easy way to reverse it completely at this point. What is needed is 32-64 player max with latency limits and a higher tick rates, or even maybe even just total map variable refresh per tick like Apex Legends, not the zoned approach used currently with BF 2042...Even better, just dump the MM system and go back to server browsers...but at this point, I'm guessing that isn't even possible as it seems to be the number one requested feature for the last 8-9 months, yet not a single comment from either Dice or EA concerning server browsers...🤔

@RaginSam /facepalm the console aim assit is not the same as pc... hence in the patch notes it was a fix to console aim assit.I have played both full aim assit and with it off. There is no discernable difference.In fact do to the slow bubble effect I had to turn it off as it was that detrimental to gameplay.

Try playing with a controller and see if it's really as OP as you think. Aim assist doesn't work like it does in CoD. It doesn't stick to players and 'aimbots' targets. It literally slows down your reticle when you're already on the target. The person is still having to aim.For what it's worth I'm playing worse than before the update. The aim assist still doesn't function well enough.

@xXHappy_PuppyXx OK whatever, then go post somewhere else if you have nothing constructive to add to the thread. I'm not questioning you on whether you use aim assist or not, but calling me a liar is a personal attack. Enjoy the ban.

I have been tracking my deaths for months, go look at the other threads in reference to TTD vs TTK and other performance threads. I literally played two rounds and quit. All console deaths. It happened.

I don't know what is causing it but I'm not making crap up to stir the pot, I was curious to see if others noticed anything because every console player that hit me, killed me. Never happened like that before, had to do a player count to see what the ratio was because it was so odd.

@xXHappy_PuppyXx Typical troll, demanding others to do the work that you won’t believe anyways. I guarantee you we have better things to do that waste time proving anything to you. I didn’t see you defending the game in the numerous posts from console players about cross play and aim assist being too weak, but here you here you are yapping your gums at anybody and everybody. All you’re achieving is a greater wedge between consoles and PC players, but that’s what trolls do.

@xXHappy_PuppyXx Would you mind enabling data share in the bf2042 settings? I would love to see your stats.

Are you playing cross play? Or did you turn that off?

@ATFGunr I did report it you fool... I did in beta that the aim assit was fubar.

All that's happening now is PC crying that console players are not handicapped by the broken aim assit anymore.

Fact is PC players cried about aim assit from console players before the patch when aim assit actually made it harder to track targets not easier.

You people act like console players should never be able to beat a PC player in a fight.

In the Breakthrough matches that I played this morning using either an LMG or a DMR, the aiming did not seem like a chore as it did previously. I was not always rotating my reticle past the target then trying to adjust with terrible results. Then getting frustrated. Aiming with a controller seems far more natural after the latest patch.

I'd say they "improved" it all right.

@Skill4ReelExactly... all they did was remove the slowing bubble from aim assit. Before your aim would slow when near a target. That made your aim point lag behind the target making you have to input more stick to try to catch up but if the target changed direction it would throw your aim off do to exiting the slowing field.

All they really did was remove the slowing field so our aim doesnt get slowed down when tracking a target horizontally.

They didnt fix the snap aim nor add a sticky aim.

Just shows how bad that slowing was effecting us.

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
