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...

Aim assist has been cranked up so much that it has become quite close to an actual aimbot, same with CoD. It's a skill equalizer and it has greatly lowered the skill curve. No program should do the aiming for you, it's just a legalized form of cheating to appease the console crowd.
FPS games with a controller is always sub-optimal, but there are much better and more fair ways to improve purely through a player's own effort and compete with M+K, like gyro aiming for one.

Aim Assist is not doing what you think it’s doing.
- @SleepyWeasel68 Mouse input isn’t doing what y’all console players think it is either. Input lag has been a issue since the beta. Dice took 9 months to tweak aim assist to a level where it seems functional, yet PC players have had zero help from Dice to fix the input lag. So while you seem to think that the M&K is superior, I can from personal experience assure you that the mouse is not performing as it should. Throw in some desync issues with the 45mhz servers and play against a console player who can’t seem to miss, and you might have a faint idea why the PC players are frustrated.
- Hey don’t get me wrong, I’m all for separate play. If I wanted to play against a PC player, I would’ve bought a PC.
- @SleepyWeasel68 Trust me, we feel the same way.
