The aim assist is insane. Anyone who thinks it "isn't doing much" isn't experimenting enough.
The #1 rule for the new aim assist: Don't ADS.
If you hipfire, the aim assist does a lot more, and the further away the enemy it is, the more powerful aim assist gets.
Try hipfiring a laser rifle at optimal range (medium-long), the game practically plays itself for you. |

Try hipfiring a laser rifle at optimal range (medium-long), the game practically plays itself for you. So the problem isn't really the aim assist or hit detection but rather the one or the other (or both) being too powerful when using hip fire? Could be, I ADS pretty much all the time, and I barely notice the aim assist. Hit detection, while better, seems fine too -- at least at range.
Basically, yes. I too normally ADS the large majority of my shots, but give hipfire a try and you'll immediately see the problem. My squad last night had a good laugh about how ridiculous it is. It's now much easier to hit a target down range woth hip-fire than by using ADS.
With ADS you get a bit of zoom, but almost no auto-aim. If you hip-fire, even at the "optimal range" (medium-long) the auto-aim will snap to and track guys as they run and wiggle with 100% accuracy... as long as you let it and don't do any actual aiming yourself. |

Yes, the aim assist appears to be based on a certain pixel area, thus making it more apparent the further away the target is. It's why the longer distance weapons are now OP with hip-fire. At the optimal laser range it will stay magnetized to someone moving meters because the relative distance on your own screen decreases as the enemy is further away. |
