Good update
Controller aim assist got boosted - pc players cant win any close-to mid battles against them. The DMR shots and sniper shots for controller players are 100% hit. No option to disable crossplay. ...
Forum Discussion
My argument is simple: the developer never said the Beta aim assist was better or stronger.
That is something you keep repeating without a source.
Neither the patch notes nor the dev text say that. The full EA quote actually proves the opposite of what you are claiming.
Beta aim assist was weaker than what the game launched with. The devs explicitly say they increased slowdown at launch and now the update is reverting it back down to the weaker Beta values.
So no. They did not nerf aim assist at launch. It was buffed for launch.
You are also contradicting yourself. You keep switching between “stronger”, “better”, “worse” and “nerfed” as if they all mean the same thing. They do not and none of those claims match what EA wrote.
Now you are claiming something that simply never happened:
“The release patch notes said the Beta aim assist was too strong and they nerfed it.”
That line does not exist in any patch notes, EA blog posts, Steam notes or interviews.
You are basing your entire argument on a claim that is not written anywhere.
The actual EA text says the opposite:
“At launch, we increased slowdown at longer ranges.”
Increasing slowdown means buffing aim assist, not nerfing it.
Your entire timeline is backwards because you are quoting something that does not exist.
Across multiple posts you claimed:
“Beta aim assist was too strong.”
“They nerfed it at release.”
“Therefore, the Beta had stronger aim assist.”
“Controllers were too effective in the Beta.”
“It was better in the Beta.”
These are direct examples of you saying or implying that Beta AA was stronger.
Even worse, they contradict the EA quote, the patch notes and sometimes each other.
You keep repeating the same confused point and attributing it to me.
And you still have not produced this supposed “interview”. You built your entire argument on it yet you have shown no evidence it exists.
No dev interview says controllers were “too dominant or effective in Beta” or that aim assist was nerfed for launch.
Link the interview you keep mentioning or admit you are wrong and confused about the timeline of events.
Because the aim assist in the Beta was weaker than what the game launched with and that is exactly why so many PC players were mad about it cause they dont yet have a cross-play toggle to try avoid controllers.
I am not a library. I cannot provide a link to the interview. It exists. If you don't believe me, that's your own problem.
It's irrelevant. The data you linked already confirms the same thing.
It was better, they made it worse, now they made it better again. That is what the OP was referencing as well. You were disagreeing with the OP, but the data you provided agrees with the OP. There is no reason to find an interview or discuss this further. Per their words, their goal was to improve aim assist to match the previously-better behavior.
You moved through every possible position: You started by claiming Beta AA was "stronger" (launch nerfed it due to "controller dominance data" in release notes)
Beta AA stronger
Launch nerfed it
Current reverted is stronger again
Refuses to link interview
Claims EA quote supports him (it doesn’t)
Switches from “stronger” to “better”
Gaslights with “no one disagrees”
Calls his own evidence irrelevant
Classic goalpost shift.
Facts win. Debate over. Goodnight I'm going to bed lol😅Exactly. Facts win. It was better (in the Beta). Then it was worse in the release. Now it is reverted back to better. Or at least that was their intent. If they screwed it up in the process, who knows.
I'm not shifting any goal posts. You're the one who said it wasn't better in the Beta, but your own provided facts disagree.
There was an interview. It was reported on. I'm not going to waste my time finding it. You don't believe it. Fine. Doesn't matter. No goal posts shifted. Facts still win. You already have all the evidence necessary; you linked to enough evidence in your own post.
Walk away.
At this point you’re just making things up, I literally gave you the patch notes and the full quote in one of the comments you cherry-picked from and you still pretended the parts that disproved you weren’t there.
You absolutely have shifted the goalposts.
You started with “Beta AA was stronger,” which is False, then switched to “it was better,” then to “no one disagrees,” and now the interview you kept citing is suddenly “irrelevant” because you can’t prove it even exists. That is the definition of goalpost shifting.And no my provided facts do not agree with you.
The EA notes literally say:“At launch, we increased slowdown at longer ranges.”
Let me try to simplify this even further so you don’t miss it again.. EA said the launch version had increased (bigger) slowdown.
So that means launch AA was stronger than the Beta. Increasing slowdown = stronger aim assist.
That means:Beta = weaker AA
Launch = stronger AAThe Nov 18 Update 1.1.2.0 reverted aim assist all the way back to the weaker Beta values exactly as the EA notes stated.
So your claim that “it was better in the Beta” is disproven by the only actual source in this entire thread the EA notes. The argument you’re making relies entirely on an interview you refuse to show, while the written EA documentation contradicts you word for word. And saying “facts win” doesn’t help you when you haven’t provided any. EA’s notes are the only facts here and they show your claim is false.
