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...
Except this isn't lining up with my bulk experience. I was testing aa setup in solo mode with the SWS. Short barrel, stubby grip, holo sight etc. Came across some bots inside the ship. Go into aim, fire, small movement from the bot makes the shot miss. Adjust, fire. Small movement makes it miss again. Getting the shot to connect with them with a quick scope in meant, on average, throwing down a few rounds. Now contrast this with a console player who, using the same setup, instantly beaned me in the head from a lower position, as I barely appeared near a railing, for a split second. That is not a fluke occurrence either. Something is letting them land shots more consistently, more quickly, than you can with mouse and keyboard. We're also talking about players under the rank of 30, sometimes under the rank of 10, pulling off these amazing headshots all the time. And the common denominator is that they are always on console.
Furthermore, in a round I just finished, I was grappling up the side of the ship, swinging to the side as I do to make myself a harder target. In that moment it takes to go up, a Rank 9 on console hit and killed me instantly...from 150m, with an M5A3 that only had a TV2 scope as an attachment.
And BTW, what's your accuracy on the ARs, DMRs and snipers?
