Baal Omniscient L.O.T.I.S. 595	Posted - 2013.09.06 11:46:00 - [1] - Quote I've been playing shooters for years, but I've never used aim assist (can't stand bots aiming for me) so I don't exactly know what it affects. I understand that it sort of acts like a low-powered magnet when your crosshairs are close to an enemy, but that's pretty much all I know about it. Specifically, I want to know: Does aim assist have any effect at long range? Does aim assist have any effect on ADS view? Does aim assist only lock when your crosshairs pass over a target, or does it just magnetize when you get close? How easy is it to break out of an aim assisted persons crosshairs? Is aim assist more effective or less effective at medium range than in close range? Is there any difference between aim assist's effect on iron sights and scoped AR's? In some other games you hear about how aim assist is what allows quick-scoping to happen (never been a quick-scoper, so I apologize if I sound ignorant of the process). Is there any effect of the new aim assist that causes this to happen with any weapon when you go from hip fire to ADS (in short, using ADS to auto lock to an enemy for a moment)? If someone could kindly answer these questions, it would help myself and probably many other people form informed opinions about our new aim assist system and help us decide what, if any, changes need to be made to it.

It's nice to get 2 well known constructive posters right off the bat, it's oh-so-rare that that happens anymore. Feels like only yesterday I was arguing the merits of your idea of dropping into the map from orbit and my idea of AV turrets to deal with the missile menace with you Garrett. I think we've been here a little too long lol.

I can see due to this video how aim assist differs in Dust from other games however, so +1 to you.
