The Question of Aim Assist
Okay, I'm finally putting this here, because I am really, really at a loss. How powerful is the console aim assist? From my POV, it might as well be a legalised aimbot. Currently, I have to resort...

An update of interest to this topic: I turned off crossplay for the first time in a while tonight, as a test. Not as many players, and more bots, but I died much less than I would in a comparative match with console players. Aside from a few questionable players (namely being able to instantly locate you without any scanning or spotting evident), I didn't get beaned in the head anywhere near as frequently, and the frequency was waaay down in close quarters, white knuckle fights. It felt considerably more balanced.
@Moab23You’re lucky, if I turn off cross play I get no matches. While I still think most of this is based on the known desync issues based on low ended Amazon servers, assuming this is the cause of packages of bullets killing you in a flash, I have noticed I die more from consoles than PC now. I base that on seeing how many players in a server are PC or console, and paying attention to who kills me. 80% of the time it’s been consoles, yet consoles only make 40-50% of the servers where I have looked. (I don’t care enough to graph and chart all this so believe what you want, it’s the internet after all) Previously I was an equal opportunity bullet magnet. I have been reading about certain aftermarket devices that are being marketed towards consoles that would account for the Vicar being full auto as an example. I won’t believe that they’re only using it for m+k support and not using any of the other benefits, including prewritten scripts such as no recoil or single fire to auto fire. Like hacks, it kills games
So I'm not the only one to notice sometimes people are firing semi-auto weapons on what seems like automatic. I had one guy earlier doing that with a grenade launcher. He was using the SFAR, popped a round at me, died. Revived, and on his killcam he fired again at someone else a split second before I was up. He immediately fired a third grenade, with absolutely no time in there for reload. Quickest three round pop off I've seen.
- @Moab23 I’m not sure a script could do that faster, that would involve reloading the grenade and it’s still going to be limited to the game mechanic. It’s my first crossplay game so I’m no where near ready to bring out pitchforks for consoles or aim assist. I firmly believe we’re all gamers and should have that as the basis of playing and communicating. Dice has changed the programming though which we all know, and it’s changed the dynamic of the game for all of the players.
Crossplay is purely cause PC players base always smaller :D
