FORUMS_

Aim assist in this game is way stronger than any of the other cods at close range I feel. At medium to long range the aim assist feels about right (maybe a little too strong still) but managable so that people don't get lucky kills letting the system aim for them.

Personally I felt the order in strength of the aim assist is BO2 > BO1 > MW3 > MW2 (Didn't play much cod 4 and didn't play WaW) MW2 levels of aim assist felt really good because although the guns were strong there was little help and one of the reasons I really liked how the guns worked in that game.

The aim assist in this game makes me want to puke on a puppy and then kick it. Factor in the lag and it gets really frustrating at times. For instance, when you are one kill away from a high score streak and stuff like this happens. I just want a fair and balanced competitive shooter, not a gameplay system that rubber bands the poor players to the good ones.

This game needs aim assist because of lag. How do I know this? Because I use a PS3 controller on both my PS3 and laptop to play BO2. PC doesn't offer aim assist, but it is not needed because the dedicated servers make the hit detection much better. When I try to duplicate my skill on PS3 by turning the aim assist off, none of my bullets will hit the target because of the lag. Aim assist is pretty much there so they can save money.

Oh the fabled aim "resist", just another reason to let my copy gather dust.

Haha what about at times when there are 2 people and you get stuck shooting right I between them.

To me cod has always had more aim assist then halo.. H4 is very generous though.. I'm generally speaking not flip flopping

I think the problem with aim assist strength can be seen by the sheer number of sensitivity 10 to 14 players.

When the game started, it seemed like everyone was around average speed. Nowadays, it seems like everyone has sensitivity set, so they can dance like ballerinas.

Now...having such a high sensitivity is fine...however it should cost you accuracy. If i have sensitivty at 3 to 4...I should be able to stay on target easier, and it should be more difficult for you. Likewise, your sensitivity should make non-sniper longshots extremely difficult.

The tradeoff you get, is knife distance battles, 180 ambush reaction, and very close range SMG teleport strafing should be your advantage.

Part of me wants to set my sensitivity high...However, I always have such a hatred for high number sensitivty that I have reservations.

Aim assist is a crucial mechanic in quick scoping. I also its quite strong as i havee seen my gun move when a enemy walks by.

aim assist is kinda necessary for consoles because of the console controller. The aim cannot be as exact as say a mouse on pc. But the levels in this game are so strong that not only does it try to aim at the person for, If two or more enemies are running together it keeps moving back and fourth beween the people causing you  to lose control of your own weapon giving the enemy the upper hand. I've heared this being refered to as "aim resist" or at least a form of it.

Ive noticed that when you aim at someone in your sight that are moving (whether its left or right or even if they are coming down a hill side or out of a window) It follows the entire path as appose to following the actual character causing alot of shots missed.giving them a unfair advantage.. So in most cases it works against you, but is too important to disable.
