Console Aim Assist = Broken Game
Hear me out. No matter the platform I think we can all agree on one thing: Aim assist is a benefit. It is inherently unfair to give any player a benefit not available to all. Period. I'm 53. My ...

@xxHaitxx you seem to forget it is inherently easier to aim with M&K than with thumbs on a stick.

I literally just turned aim assist off (xbox) because I feel like it is a hindrance, causing me to not be able to move fast enough to keep up with a moving target. Not to mention that if you are sighted in and another enemy crosses pathes, it will refocus from the original target.
You should go read some or all of the really long thread on this subject and maybe get a better understanding of both sides. Aim assist certainly does not function the way you describe (think) it does.

No matter how good a person is using a controller it does not change the fact that one thumb on a analog stick does not give the player as much aiming control as an entire hand does on a mouse. Which is why the "assists" were created for controllers in the first place.
Assists for aiming with controllers and aimbots are not anywhere close to being the same thing. Anyone saying that they are can not be taken seriously. Especially when talking about BF2042 where the console player often has to fight off the effects of the assist just to try and aim where they want to.
However without some assist aiming is constantly being frustrated from swooping past targets when trying to track them.
