Personally, I can see validity on both sides as far as reviews of AIM assist.

The PRO faction - Aim assist makes this game feel like less work to some people. It puts a little more fun back into the game. Players can no longer just stand toe to toe and take on three people. It also adds balance against AOE users who dominated after 1.3

The CON faction - Aim assist is a little too strong. Aim assist consists of two mechanics. The first mechanic helps lead the reticule towards your target while the second helps to keep it on the target. I fully support the first mechanic and believe that it is working fine. However, I believe that the second is what is causing some of the grief on the forums. I think that relaxing this second mechanic will help to make both sides a little happier.

Overall, this new aim assist has changed the game and will require a change to how people play the game.

- You die a lot faster now - Mercs will have to completely rethink their fits and tactics to remain ISK-positive moving forward. When you combine aim-assist with matchmaking, you are going to die more than you are used to.

- Even if you win an engagement, you will be hurting - CQC becomes a whole new ballgame. In the past, you could take on multiple targets in a row and, because they were surprised, they generally would not be aiming to their best ability. More often than not, you would come out with only some of your shields gone. Now, you are going to be in need of a logi.

- Armor and Shields now have a somewhat 'balance' - I say this because armor (with the aide of a logi or rep hive) has now become much better at CQC while shields and their recharge ability are more tailored to hit-and-run and ranged engagements.

- Teamwork is now more important than ever - As stated before, straight 1v1 is a lot more taxing than it used to be. It is now much more beneficial to stay together and have a good diversity of squad members (energy/projectile/hybrid weapons as well as logi support) to be able to consistently move from engagement to engagement.

I think that just tweaking Aim Assist a little bit will help to make this patch shine (that and fixing the whole matchmaking and CQC weapon hit detection thing). I like how it has changed how we play the game but I dont want it to completely erase skill as a deciding factor for an engagement.

Thank you for your time.

Aim assist finally forces people to play tactically like a real space soldier. Took long enough. No more halo cod rush garbage.

It's supposed to have long TTK's strafing allowed that, now that the Duvolles(or MLT AR) full power is unleashed there is nothing that can compete.

I approve seeing aim assist return but no one here wanted it to be so helpful that it's actually tracking the targets for you. It's supposed to nudge you to the target as it passes your reticule, not aim the gun for you.

People always knew it would be very powerful, however poor aiming mechanics and hit detection stopped this!! Its not the aim assist thats game breaking, its the weapons that have it!!

LOL i love it.

EVERYONE wants there to be no strafing or bunny hopping becuz this is a "tactical" shooter.

Idiots i swear how you guys dont understand this yet boggles my mind.

This was never meant to be a tactical shooter. CCP has in the past pretty much outright stated that they were trying to make a game similar to MAG or Halo. Neither of those games are tactical shooters....they are called tracking shooters. How you guys started playing and then assumed this was supposed to be a tactical shooter with cover (there is no cover on almost every map) and the fact that TTK is WWWAAAYYY to high for ANY tactical shooter. None of this indicated anything to you guys? Like that maybe your wrong?

Don't forget to retape the nose piece of your glasses.

A pro player letting to of his frustration about aim-assist.

Bingo. Giving me an extra 50-75 HP with the armor buff doesn't really do me much good if AR's are hitting me much more often. Let the AA help you initially lock on to your target, but once your target begins to actively move you're on your own.

Nothing will ever change the fact that those who use Aim Assist do so because they are not as skilled as those who don't.

Seriously this is a load of bullshit. Quit talking out your ass and just admit CCP added a crutch for their **** poor playerbase. That hasn't been able to track targets since the private trials. If you want to play a tactical shooter go play SOCOM and CS.

in this video he missed approx. 2/3 of all his shots... lets talk about how effective aim assist is again and how it works

another proof that people QQ about it are scrubs... hit detection is just better now, thats all.

Bit exaggeratted dont you think, I havent felt the aim assist actually move me aim, only change the sensitivity!!

How can you see that from a video shot by a non-sixaxis user who doesn't have aim assist becuase of their use of a non-assisted control scheme?

He uses M/KB, that's why he's missing and complaining. He's getting beat by DS users. It's also coming from a guy who used flaylocks exclusively and thought the nerf was a bit too much. I like his videos but am not going to be taking advice from a player that uses easy mode weapons and says KDR doesn't matter but yet goes 20/1 before 1.4. Now he's mad that he's not getting an awesome KDR and loses to 1v1 more often. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

Skill is a made up word when it comes to video games. Running around like a nut with and ar is for fools. Im sure your one of them. Smart players stay behind cover and never go toe to toe with the enemy. Stupid people like talk about something as fake as skill and get shot down by tactical players who use everything to there advantage. The reason you get owned is because they fixed hit detection. Watch out high sp players the tacticians are hitting the warzone. WE WILL TAKE YOU ALL DOWN
