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'll just answer this bit because life's too short. What you are seeing is not quite what the player is experiencing.
It is tho, the number of time a console player just tracks me through a smoke or a bush I can't see through is too damn high
Any videos of aim assist tracking through smoke/bushes?
I don't record my gameplay but the way I think it works is if he sees you going into the smoke the aim assits locks on to what ever you're doing
In my experience aim assist switches off when there is smoke around - even when I can still make out a siloutte. Any controller user who played Op underground in BFV can probably attest to the fact that aim assist isn't handing out any blind kills through smoke.
Smoke behavior seems similar in BF2042, but will pay more attention next time I'm in that situation.

I think everyone will agree that how it was in bfv doesn't matter since they seem to handle inputs/aim assits differently in this game
How are you so sure? Is your position based purely from being on the receiving end?
What is your experience with aim assist from the giving end?

there's literally evidence of it locking through the ground on someone is it really hard to believe it sometimes tracks through smokes lol

I don't know about that. Aim assist currently feels pretty close to what we had in BFV and BF1. That observation seems to be supported by the DICE Dev comments from SMK's video.
How much BF1/BFV did you play on console? You seem to be taking the position that BF2042 aim assist is significantly better than what we had in BFV. What are you basing that position on?

This reminds me of something pretty irritating and I think broken as this...on Exposure if you toss a pokey ball in by B on CQ, it will pick up players that are all the way on top by A...you start running around looking and they aren't there. Same kind of thing?

Certainly not impossible, but a few thousand hours of playing with aim assist in Battlefield games puts me in a pretty informed position on understanding the advantages and limitations of aim assist.
I don't claim to have a perfect understanding and am open to new information that may improve my understanding.
I'm just not ready to make the jump to the conclusion that aim assist sees through everything based on just SMK's video. Too much personal experience tells me it doesn't.
Open your network performance overlay windows in game and take a look for yourself. Don't just watch your LAT, you need to watch the ALAT average for all the players connected to the server during your entire match.
It’s a lot easier to see issues with the servers when you have an extremely low latency, as in my case. If I’m at a solid 7ms latency the ALAT graph should NOT be maxed out through the top of the box at over 180ms, yet that’s what I’m consistently seeing. I should expect to see an average ALAT around 50ms “at most” if MM was working properly.
A high ALAT would mean there are no region locks on MM or if MM “is” region locked, out of area players are using VPNs to access the game servers. In either case the servers are not doing latency checks before allowing players to join and that’s a very bad thing.
Obviously, players can and are circumventing region locks. Something needs to be done so that the servers check the latency on players throughout the match and kick the users that are over a set limit.
