I don't think that's an accurate assessment. I have been playing Halo since the birth of Halo: Combat Evolved, through Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Reach, and now Halo 4. And I still play Halo every week with my friends on game night.

From my own experience and observations over the years, the aim assist works by slightly nudging your weapon as the enemy passes by your reticule. It's like a slight track to help you with aiming on a console controller. And I have been testing this on every weapon. The sniper rifle, binary rifle, DMR, SAW, assault rifle, tactical rifle, covenant carbine, rocket launcher, needler, etc. The only two weapons that have any kind of homing ability for their ammo alone is either the rocket launcher (after locking on) or the covenant needler.

In Dust, the aim assist we have now is turning bullets into magnets. The aim assist was support to nudge the gun, not the bullets.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 3959	Posted - 2013.09.04 14:48:00 - [4] - Quote I don't mind aim-assist in this game and I like the fact that finally the hit detection has been resolved. The problem is that the aim-assist we have now is too over the top. Let me elaborate. Hit detection is when you point a gun a me dead on. And I mean precisely dead on and every bullet (so long as I don't move away) hits me as intended. The problem with the currently aim-assist system is that you can point the gun just about 1 foot to my left or to my right and every one of those bullets will still hit me. CEOPyrex posted a video about that and it was ridiculous.

Funkmaster Whale 0uter.Heaven 448	Posted - 2013.09.04 14:54:00 - [6] - Quote Aim assist is the stupidest mechanic, especially with the absurdity that we get here. The game automates the most critical aspect of the FPS: the aiming. What's next, recoil assist? Trigger assist? Why don't we just put the carebears on one server and let the people who actually care to play a real shooter on another.

The aim-assist in that game is balanced. The aim-assist as it is now in Dust is way over the top. It needs to be brought back down to Halo levels.

And now all cool kids are upset the playing field has Been leveled. Tbh expected level of QQ. The fact HD is now working and ur simply getting outplayed is not a factorat all. Nor is fact that u too also have access to this aim assist and thus should be able kill people just as quickly :-)

Vell0cet Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 98	Posted - 2013.09.04 15:07:00 - [13] - Quote It's necessary to keep keyboard/mouse users and controllers in balance. Perhaps it needs slight tweaking, but ultimately this game is about teamwork and strategy, using the right weapons against the right opponents at the right ranges using the right tactics. Rewarding good aim is important, but there's a lot more to interesting gameplay than pure twitch skills. It's the "secret sauce" to DUST: no other shooter has this level of depth.
DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 6069	Posted - 2013.09.04 15:08:00 - [14] - Quote It's not too bad, it just puts a much stronger emphasis on watching cover and advancing tactically. Gone are the days of immortal disco dancers, dodging bullets like Jager. It would be nice to get a slight HP buff all around though, since more shots are going to connect. I'm more disappointed with the new armor rep animation on vehicles, it is God awful ugly.

The torch-and-pitchfork brigade doesn't want to hear that! They want to continue to spam mass drivers while bunnyhopping, and aim assist/hit detection are working against that.

Aim assist is a scrub-friendly mechanic and it's completely broken this game. The people vehemently defending are the ones who couldn't manage to land a shot before. Most people had absolutely no problem. The only ones complaining about the aiming were the ones who had no ability whatsoever.

The fact that you don't agree with the reality of it is hardly any of my concern. Halo games have, over the years, gradually increased the amount of assists. The first Halo game had zero magnetism, this is demonstrable, but the more recent ones are more severe. The fact that you're trying to prop it up as a pillar of aim assist design despite this is laughable. As for the accusations that Dust has magnetism, I'd like to see some actual proof of this.

He seems like he has a very very high opinion of his opinion. We all knew aim assist was coming. This is a foundation mechanic, everything will need to built up off of that. If anything, it's best that it's so strong, because it makes it easier to identify issues and then fix them in a timely manor.

The single instance in the first video of aim assist, like I said earlier, is a hit detection issue first and foremost. As for the second video, he continuously misconstrues new hit detection mechanics as aim assist. It's easier to shoot people now for a number of reasons, not just aim assist, but aim assist is what he blames for all of it. The fact that he's being elitist about aim assist after using M + KB for so long and having such a large advantage for so long is ridiculous. It's really a combination issue, but he ignores it all in favor of blaming aim assist.
