Wouldn't be nearly as bad if it weren't for the low FPS fooling you into thinking they were moving in one direction when they're moving another. Nothing like a slight, miniscule bit of lag to make you think they're going left just for them to teleport right.
I also sort of chuckle whenever people say "remove aim assist" - do you people realize what that would do to this game? Systematically, people would immediate start complaining of hit detection problems (even more so than now) because the wiggle-wiggle would be exponentially more valuable as a combat tactic. Then, those who couldn't adapt would default to Mass Drivers, Flaylock Pistols, and Core Locus Grenades for the gimmicky splash damage kills because they couldn't aim worth salt.
EDIT: Also, a big part of working hit detection that we complained about until it got removed was bullet-slow down on hit. Anyone remember that? Remember when CCP Wolfman killed that off because the players wanted it?
This would also mean TTK would increase due to the unbearably hard-to-hit gun game mechanics. Suits that are easy to nyx are suddenly a lot harder to kill because you're having to work against the hit detection issues -as well as- the lack of aim assist (turn it off sometime and see how well you fair =P)
Of course then you'd have all the guys saying "nerf the strafe speed!" like they've been doing, obviously, because that'd balance everything out, right? Slow down the strafe speed, add mass penalties, increase the penalties to armor and suddenly shield tanking becomes a lot more valuable. In fact, if you removed aim assist, you'd basically -have- to do this because the TTK would be excruciatingly high for some suits. Just as well, you'd have to lower the strafe speeds to give rifle-users a fighting chance against people spamming explosives/gimmicky splash weaponry.
And now for the ironic part
This would be a direct revision of Dust 514 -back- to Pre-Uprising 1.4.
We didn't really get working Aim Assist until mid-way through Uprising because it was broken back in Closed Beta and was later revised and made functional, then re-implemented.
Strafe speeds weren't nearly as fast as they are until mid-way through Uprising and that happened purely because of a bug that -literally everyone wanted to keep- at the time. Hit up DustSearch.com if you don't believe me on that =P The bug was met with unanimous appeal because armor tanking suddenly became more viable and a bit more on-par with shield tankers who had both HP and Speed whereas Armor tankers often sacrificed extraordinary amounts of speed (Complex Armor Plates were -10% back then) for their HP and the HP values were less than they are now. We also did not have reactives/ferroscales.
So, whenever I see people clamoring to have aim assist taken out and/or strafe speeds nerfed... I can't help but chuckle because the game we currently have is -exactly what was asked for- and now that it doesn't work in their favor, they want it revised. The only thing that remains consistent from in the Dust 514 community is that the players are incredibly indecisive 
But in cases like this I love to quote Hans Jagerblitzen (CPM 0), who said something along the lines of the players being completely unable to provide meaningful feedback for a game that even the developers aren't sure of what they want from. Tactical or Twitch? High or low TTK? The players still wonder. Beyond that, we'll always quarrel because we have different ideas of what this game is -supposed- to be because it was never established/set in stone =P

You do realize I was part of PFBH toward the end of closed beta/beginning of Uprising..? Harlequin13, ANON Illuminati, and demens grimwulf can attest to my shooter ability prior to the introduction of AA. Don't talk trash unless you have evidence to back it up, bro. Just makes you look really, really stupid.
