I saw Spec's video and wanted to try it out myself. What I noticed is that it does drag or pull you into the direction that the enemy is heading towards. But that only lasts for a second and then you have to maintain the aim on the target. Not to mention, enemies strafe back and forth and jump, etc. AA does not do the aiming for you. It assists which is whhat i's supposed to do.

One thing that I noticed as well, is that it only drags toward the enemy when the crosshairs are on target. That means that you when you look down your sights or engage to hip fire, you must be on target or close enough so that the AA can actually assist. If it were that strong (like I've noticed in some other games), when you tap L1, it will place the target immediately in the center of your crosshairs.

My stance is the same as before....I don't care whether aim assist is here or not but I just want guys to know that this isn't aimbot. Although the game helps to steer you, you still have to aim yourself. And just to reiterate, the assist only lasts for a second or two, it does not follow the enemy forever.

Fact is the largest support of players I see in favor of AA are players who started playing console shooters after the COD craze(before Turok, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye etc) or are PC FPS players who think AA is a mandatory necessity in console shooters.

The reality is most of you nonfactors are and remain terrible at the game, thats why CCP had to give you a feature that compressed the skillgap. Reality is the AA in chromosome was fine and the major issue with Uprising wasnt lack of AA, anyone who understood the issue knew that it was entirely the acceleration they added during Uprising to try and increase DS3 turn speeds that royally screwed up aiming.

Once again uninformed ignorant playerbase that are bad at games dont understand the root causes of what was wrong with the game to begin with now assume that current fixes were the apropriate fixes to a problem. Welcome to placebo effect. Just because its better then Uprising doesn't mean it was the proper solution.

All CCP needed to do was bring back chromes level of AA and tone down or eliminate the DS3 acceleration on turn.

They arent ready to read this truth.

Who's truth?

I never played Goldeneye or whatever else ancient fps that was out before Call of Duty. I've never even played Call of Duty....not one game, not one demo. I barely looked at a few youtube gameplay videos. My first shooter was MAG. And anyone that feels that MAG sucked because it was designed in the 21st century can just kill themselves.

I don't care about aim assist...whether it is here or not. I'm just saying that the aim assist that has been implemented in 1.4 still requires you to aim. Aim assist is spread across the board and in a 1v1 situation, a more skilled shooter will be able to beat you more times than not. In COD (from what I hear) and BF3, it is more dependent on who sees who first. Anyone can kill anyone in those games. The skill required is more about situational awareness, using cover, more than it has to do with aiming. MAG, however, you needed to be able to do them all.

But in Dust, everyone is not able to kill anyone. And if that is truth, then there must be skill involved.

AA shrinks skill gaup and it makes bad players feel decent at the expense of the fact that aiming skill right now is an afterthought. Also, AA makes it so that suits with low hp - read scouts - are totally shat over.
