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 ...

Because there's no reason to have it in any game quite honestly. It's literally the game playing for you. Having less recoil is enough. Maybe if they deleted aim assist completely, reduce the recoil a little more.
Dice: delete Crossplay.
No aim assist for anybody.
PC against PC ONLY
Console against console ONLY.
Netcode will be better, smoother gameplay, no one complains, better sales and more players. More revenue to Dice. Win-Win!
Done.
Edit: i always played BF on the PS. I think we had the smoothest gameplay when there was only PS vs PS players, Xbox vs Xbox players and PC vs PC only. No crossplay at all!!
@jamesnyers why not PS vs Xbox?
I'm absolutely against mixing controllers and m&k on one server. However saying that aim assist is a huge advantage over PC is a strange thing to say. Console players RARELY are among top players during a match.
If console players were forced to play without aim assist many would left because aim assist (slowdown) is essential for console gaming. Thumb precision isnt close to whole palm precision.
Honestly, I think it's netcode against the player when it comes to PC against Console. So many weird things happen when you mix the two.
Console players have a higher floor and PC players have a higher ceiling.
Bad PC players are really bad. Bad console players with aim assist are better.
- @Luke88gw I am not too technical but i think PS has its own network and Xbox the same.
When a PS player is against another PS player the most important stuff happens within that network.
When a PS player is against an Xbox player there is an extra step. Info has to leave the PS network go through the internet to the Xbox network and back and forth. No?
Same in the console vs PC situation but then the dreaded m&k / aim assist further throws off the equation.
When you throw the 3 situations together you can imagine how things get complex in the netcode department…
Who suffers and complains? The players. All of them.I would love DICE to do a 1 week experiment. Turn off/disable crossplay for a week. Lets see what people experience and what feedback they would give. . Other than: there are less players in the game now…i know.
More players would come to play later if the game is more fair/responsive. .
