When I play CoD I can snap between multiple targets without missing, while holding down the trigger, on high sensitivity too. When I play BF2042, I can't so much as track a moving target who isn't even aware of me. I spend more time in the settings menu than I do actually playing the game, thinking there's got to be some combination of settings that will suddenly make everything feel natural and normal. Wrong. You know what? In the beta, the controller aiming was way better. I didn't have to constantly fiddle with the settings at all, I set them once and it was fine. Then the game came out and all of that went to. They even changed many of the settings and how they function, so the beta settings I screenshotted are totally worthless now. The am I supposed to do now? Nothing at all feels right or even close to it. And I could put up with everything else, but I can't even rely on my own aim.

uff...hate to break it to you but inputs in general are about as reliable as a politicians promise....i have heard the inputs work better if you messanger pigeon them to DICE Stockholm directly so they can put them in the game for you...but thats just a theory.....

@CascadiaSRL No what I'm tired of is PC players who complain about console aim assit. That lie about how it works nor understand why its needed.I'm tired of PC players ignoring their advantages such as extremely more precise aim with a mouse, high framerates, higher resolutions.I'm annoyed that all these magic console aim bot threads are trying to blame consoles for Dices sub par crossplay net code.I'm annoyed that PC players have this attitude that console players should never kill them and should be fodder for the master pc race.Yes I do believe that Dice should only make a console version and a PC version. Mixing the two doesnt work. Unless PC is limited to the same framerates and resolution and input controls as console. Why console because consoles are set hardware you cant upgrade them to gain advantage.Over all I hate what this crossplay garbage has done to the game in general. I was on the CTF2 Nova Logic Delta Force world champion team on PC in fact was the captain of the team. I'm very familiar with the advantages of PC over console especially with m&k. I'm not coming at this from a console only perspective.I just prefer console now becuase cheating just became so rampant on PC in general.

@ragnarokfps You can set it to 100 and it’s still not going to do what everyone thinks it’s doing.

For Battlefield standards this aim assist feels pretty normal. I haven't played a round of CoD for ages so I have no frame of reference there.Controller settings have been a struggle for many. I've played since launch and still tweak my settings every couple weeks trying to find something that clicks.Your experience with the beta is interesting. I recall the AA was broken against moving targets in the beta as it had been up till the recent 1.2 patch that fixed the AA.For the settings you can either try to commit to one setup and develop the muscle memory or check out some of the popular console YouTubers for their settings guides (SMK gaming, MaxIQ, TheBrokenMachine).

@SleepyWeasel68 That's just PC players pissed off that Aim Assit is no longer a detriment to consoles ablity to aim. Before 1.2 aim assit actually made it so you needed more stick input not less making it damn near impossible to track a horizontal moving target. So now they use the excuse every time a console player kills them that it must be the aim assit. Oddly many of those same players cried about aim assit when aim assit was actually hindering console players.

Controller aiming is absolutely terrible in this game

@ragnarokfps don't be crazy. According to these forums we're all using a built in aimbot!

It's taken me a while but I've gotten used to the controls, had to tweak them quite a bit though.

That’s what I’m saying. They’re showing videos of a guys controller snapping onto a target like he’s playing GTAV. Mine won’t do that. As a matter of fact, mine doesn’t snap at all and the default value for that is 100.

@SleepyWeasel68 I'm just wondering are you using magnified sights? I noticed the only time the snap has worked is with SMG using iron sites and it's only worked a half dozen times in the hundreds of hours I've played.

If use any type of magnified sights even as low as a 2x snap aim has never worked. On the only video of the snap aim working the guy was using iron sites.

@xXHappy_PuppyXx I was going to go into solo and re-set my controls. Everyone is talking aim bot so I played with the inputs to see what they were talking about.

Nope. The console “Aim Bot”, doesn’t work with playing around with settings or sights.

It’s worked fine for me since the beta and now it feels even stronger. I don’t use aim snap, put it 0, and the biggest issue I’ve seen lately was after 1.2 where shots don’t register or you get killed behind walls.

@xXHappy_PuppyXx I get the feeling that you feel that this game was and is only intended for console players and it is the PC players who have ruined this game with our constant crying.
