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...

@Moab23 It definitely feels like some people know how to exploit hit reg using a VPN or something. 2042 uses dedicated servers, so it shouldn’t matter, but I still have a feeling there’s a way. My ping is exactly the same as yours. I’d definitely love to see others connections in game. People with high ping, using WiFi, and packet loss should be the ones having a bad time.
If I miss a single shot or don’t take someone somewhat off guard, it’s incredibly hard to win fights. I’m pretty convinced it’s a combination of aim assist and the net code. I get completely lasered even behind cover, head glitching, and being very twitchy.

@RaginSam When I play against bots, I can blitz each one in a few rounds. Kill maybe four with the railgun mag. In a player match, you're lucky to get one. But you've got players mowing people down with any weapon they choose and its like watching them playing against bots. Damage and hit registration should not be any different for them, yet somehow in every match they compensate for 32-64 varying players with all those variables of movement and latency, and they do the same thing every single time. Inch perfect accuracy. Headshots with holo sights that outrange powered scopes. Its like when you watch Jackfrags (who I understand has actually been banned from games for using cheats) capping people left right and centre like its nothing, and its like watching someone playing bots. Even when I play against bots, and I can rack up like 160 kills, I may also die up to 13 times because the bots get a shot in. Yet somehow these players, against actual players, get sometimes a fraction of that death amount. Something seriously does not add up with them.
- @Moab23 There’s this drive to be the best in FPS games. You get more viewers on twitch and recognition. FPS games are also designed around feeling good about performing well and not much else. Look at games like Apex, people mostly watch streamers that are aliens with their aim.
Between game design and pressure to gain viewership on twitch there’s a lot more cheaters than people like to admit. They try to appear legit and closest to the edge of what’s humanly possible.
I love the mechanics of FPS games, but it gets tiring knowing how many people aren’t playing fairly. I’ve been trying to find other types of games, mostly MMO’s because I love the concepts, but mechanically they’re usually pretty unsatisfying.
I’m still enjoying BF2042 very much though.
