Battlefield 6 Aim Assist
It feels like Battlefield has become primarily a Console game first, and a PC game second. Frankly, the amount of assist players get is insulting to PC players. I was going to try to start this discu...

As far as I know they have not changed / nerfed the aim-assist after the beta. They are just trying to be transparent. BF6 never had rotational or snapping assist. Only aim-assist slow-down effect while aiming at the target, making the aim a bit more "sticky".
The aim-assist felt reasonable balanced during the open beta, but maybe the effectiveness could be reduced slightly. More importantly the recoil should be the same for all inputs. The recoil was noticeably less while playing with a controller. This is in my opinion very bad for the game. It makes the weapons feel different between the inputs, and it allows controller players to build the weapons differently as they are not that dependent on attachments for reducing recoil. This will become even more crucial for the BR mode, as you more often fight with weapons without preferred attachments for lowering the recoil.. giving controller players even more advantage.
I saw some leaked BR gameplay of both mouse and keyboard and controller players, and you can clearly tell what input the player are using just by looking at the recoil. You can confirm this by looking at the key binds for gadgets etc in the HUD as well.
I really hope this does not become another game that heavily favors controller players (as it does in CoD).
The recoil/spread is very noticeable, and I agree, it should be the same regardless of input. The funny thing is, I see console players saying the recoil isn't enough lol. Must be nice to feel like that.
I thought that I saw rotational assist in some of the videos I watched, but maybe that's the slow down getting stuck to players as they come out of cover then? Which I still find that frustrating to an extent, because they're essentially getting a visual/mechanical cue when their reticle is being pulled by an enemy coming out of cover. Which is going to happen a lot more with the way the maps are being designed.
