In a high health, tracking FPS, with few maps that offer cover, this fast paced style of gameplay is out of place. You can't use cover because there's rarely any cover and you can't strafe anymore because people cried about it too much. The only thing you can really do now is brick out your best suit, hope you opponent doesn't have a Duvolle and thank god you're not a scout. Yeah, very hardcore...

Aim-assist is an essential tool for Console games, simply because the reasons why people uses a Console and not a PC are very different, specially with FPS games. If you want competitive fast paced Shooter action, you use a PC. If you want casual, chill out game-play, you use a Console.

In PC shooters you don't have good and bad players, you have good and amazingly good players. In Console games you have casual and hardcore gamer's. Dust 514 is a different Console game concept, is trying to appeal to all of them; good, amazingly good, casual and hardcore, the only way CCP can do this is by allowing Casual Console Gamer's to became "good" players, and that is why we need this "specific" type of aim-assist.

- If you are a Hardcore Console gamer, disable the aim-assist, no one is forcing you to use it.

- If you are a "good" PC gamer, became an "amazingly good" player.

- Everyone else, use the aim-assist.

I disagree, aim-assist is not essential for console shooters. Yes, it is harder to aim with a stick compared to a mouse but that breeds a different kind of gameplay that is not as fast or frantic as say Quake or Unreal Tournament.

As for appealing to both casuals and hardcore gamers, if you try to appeal casuals you will scare or worse convert hardcore gamers to casualism. If you instead appeal to hardcore gamers you will undoubtedly have a smaller playerbase but those players will be more dedicated than any casual would be.

Also, after years of playing Call of Duty 2 and Unreal Tournament '99 for years, I assure you there are plenty of bad players on PC.

Where you been ? that is exactly what is being happening all the way throughout Uprising. The 1.4 update is forcing people to "think", and develop tactics ...and i can't see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Dude I don't know where you've been but there are definitely cover in a lot of maps (not counting snipers or long ranged attacks).
Trust me, I'm an armor tanker for a year now I've been taking cover and tactical advancing because my shield can't recharge in less than 5 seconds. I actually have to think about my advancements instead of charge straight into an objective CoD style and strafe back and forth expecting wreak havoc.

I don't even use aim assist so I'm not going to defend or support it but if it's making shield tankers utilize tactics and thinking besides CoD charging straight in and vibrating back and fourth as a means of defense then it can't be all bad.


Welcome to club tactics shield tankers.

There isn't anything wrong with aim assist but the current version we have is far too strong, this isn't gently helping you stay on target, it feels to me like it snaps to a target when your crosshair is close and proceeds to maintain aim and track the target a short distance and that is totally ridiculous.

I have been using a mouse/controller combo since uprising and before down time I went back to try the controller to see what it is like when corp mates told me it is ridiculous, I thought people have been exaggerating but apparently not.

that is what you see happening? damn, i want some of that...

we had tactics, we had skill, we had to think.

now what we have isnt tactics, it is hiding from lethal split second AR bursts.

now, its simply who can apply their dps first. All i see are a bunch of no names on the forums suddenly claiming skill and defending their only means of killing an actually skilled player with nothing more than simple excuses like, "But the other people were too good!" and "But....but.....M+KB!!!"

now, its simply who can apply their dps first.

And how you going to apply your DPS first ? .. by rushing in "God" mode straight to you target ?.. ohh... wait... you can't do that any longer.

you can turn off aim assist if you dont like it

fail i drive tanks.

What about speed tankers? This was the biggest nerf to them.

...utilize tactics and thinking besides CoD charging straight in and vibrating back and fourth as a means of defense then it can't be all bad.

Fail ? ... why you even in this thread ? How is aim-assist affecting you ? ...sometimes... i just don't know....

Have you ever heard of hit and run tactics?
For me I have a scout suit that is unable to be tracked by any active scanner execpt for the insane 16(12?)dB prototype one.

If I see a situation where it's possible for me to flank around I do it, kill two or three (and throw a flux) and get the hell out of there.

I don't know about you but it's pretty universal about damage types in any games (or even real life examples).

More Armor- Take more damage, slow

Shield- Do less damage, faster than armor, recharge automatically.

Speed- May not have a high hp but speed suits generally rely on intelligence (information to attack targets). I.e you can't fight on the frontline of battle. Flank around or support, catch the enemy off guard.

You see.. this guy understands ...The aim-assist if forcing you to use different, more complex tactics... just adapt and HTFU.

Honestly I havent seen any new or better tactics in any game I have played the only thing I recognized is that get kill half a cross the map by ARs just like in the good old day of chromosome with the sharpshooter skill. Right now I have the impression its more of a wild west gane where whoever shoots first wins...without a proper cover system and maps designed for that system. No one really uses tactics...
