Clearly hit detection has improved, and that's definitely a good thing.

That doesn't mean however that the aim assist isn't too good for hip-firing. In most scenarios at med-long range you're better off letting the aim assist do all of the heavy lifting for you. If you've got someone at the "optimal" range for, say, a laser rifle/TAC/Scrambler, then simply hovering your aim over the person for a moment with hipfiring will magnetize your reticle to them and unless they move 5+ meters to either side will track them with 100% accuracy.

I don't know why anyone would argue that hipfiring a med-long range weapon at it's maximum optimal distance should be more accurate than actually manually aiming down sites to hit your target. If AIMING is a detriment with the "high skill" aim based weapons; there's a problem.

The problem is that the Aim Assist seems to work based on the distance the enemy moves on your screen.

This means that the further the enemy is away from you, the longer the aim assist will track them. Someone 100 meters away has to move 4x as far left or right to break the "magnetic lock" as someone who is 25 meters away.

The second half of the problem is that it only seems to do this with hip-fire.

Thus, this creates a bizarre dichotomy where the further away someone is from you, the more beneficial it is to hip-fire.



Yeah, it shouldn't, but it does. That's what everyone is complaining about.

It's the uninformed people who don't understand the problem who are arguing that there isn't one.

Pull out a laser/TAC/scrambler rifle and try playing a whole match with hipfire. Actually, try 2 or 3 matches that way, because it takes a match or so to get the hang of it. After that I assure you that you'll be back here demanding it be fixed just like the rest of us.
