@spIash_damage With console, this is a HUGE advantage because we aim and jump with the same thumb but those with heavy aim assist can do both at the same time;
This is false, heavy assist only assist in aim, you still have your aim and jump button using the same thumb. I was on my phone and should've clarified/explained better. On PC now so I can properly reply. I should have said that it's EASIER to jump and aim at the same time with the help of aim assist. Seeing as how that distinction is so frivolous to me and the main point was it's a HUGE/LAME advantage, I didn't bother to extrapolate as my phone is no joy to type on. You're right that you still have to use the same thumb to aim and jump (it's just FAR easier to aim with heavy aim assist enabled).
What you have to do it reassign your left bumper (or L1) to jump. This configuration is called bumper jumper in call of duty. This allows you to jump and aim at the same time. It takes a while to get use to but that's how some people without elite controls do it. I'm aware of the controller configurations but didn't know it was an option in BfN/have never looked in my settings. Shame on me; does BfN allow this on PS4 or are you referencing an Xbox option? And another thing, elite controllers don't allow you to have rapid fire either, I never said "Elite" controllers. only modded controllers can do that (those are the cheaters). Other options are to play claw style, assigning the right stick button or R3 as jump, or buying a controller with buttons/ paddles on the back. I've just recently learned about some of the paddles on the back and now understand how people such as Germanshu jump/shoot so aggressively. I'm just guessing he's using something modded by watching footage a friend showed me. In either case, I can't believe the extent people go to to achieve these gaming advantages.
And lastly I think heavy assist is the default option for assist. And if it isn't then I think it's the person's responsibility to check settings for them selves. If a person never checks their own settings, sensitivity, and button layout and configuration after playing for a certain amount of time, then it's their own fault in my opinion. EVERY game ever played has settings on how to check your own layout. I agree but how many people actually know to check these settings? I just wish it wasn't an option in the game or that it was default for everyone.
I added responses in bold as a matter of convenience/to make it easier for you to follow my replies.
I'm not trying to be combative or insulting. I think heavy aim assist can be exploited in shooters and it's sickening. If someone NEEDS help aiming, that's cool. If some try-hard kid abuses certain characters to try to top the scoreboard every game, I don't respect it. To be fair, I only dislike people doing this that are toxic-taunters/server bullies.
Come to think of it, I've NEVER seen a bunny-hopping try-harder that didn't taunt/wasn't toxic.
These days, the latest greatest television, internet connection, modded controllers, etc, etc..... there's SO MANY advantages try-hards can obtain before ever checking into the aim assist issue that it makes me sick.
Many times, these same lame people get a new game and the first thing they do is look to exploit aim assist (or other similar mechanics) and NEVER INTEND to play on a level playing field. Again, 99% of the same people are toxic taunters. @mikepal19 if you're a nice guy/regular gamer, none of what I'm saying should offend you. If you're a bunny-hopping guy with uber great internet and don't server bully (by exploiting these advantages as well as a godlike ping), you're truly a one-of-a-kind in BfN and I'm sure we'd enjoy gaming together/versus one another.
I disagree with people trying to get an advantage in any games or competitions, especially online games. That's it...
