There are two types of aim assist.
1. Active aim assist. This is when your crosshairs are shifted by the game to stay on target.
2. Passive aim assist. This makes the crosshairs move SLIGHTLY faster when you're turning towards the target while you're close to aiming at them, and SLIGHTLY slower when moving away from aiming at them.
Option 1 should be avoided where possible, and should ALWAYS come with the option to disable.
Option 2 is almost always included to some extent in console shooters (both first- and third-person), but is rarely a large enough effect to be visible to the player. When it is, people always complain, but most of the time people don't even realise it's happening, so it doesn't get noticed. |

I clearly saw my reticule locking-on the enemy: while firing over the hip is clear as light.
Yes we do, and as I've said, I'd prefer we didn't, and if it has to be in the game, it needs to have an off switch. |

All good. Just making sure I'd been clear. I'm sometimes a little incoherent with putting my thoughts into text. |

What is this 'Fire over the Hip ' Stuff? Really, I dont know.  And on another note. You dont have it ( aim assist) with the Sniper rifiles that I have seen.
I think they meant "from the hip" not "over the hip" - and it's a distinction between firing normally and ADS (aim down sights) fire.
And sniper rifles, at least when scoped, don't have aim assist. That would be ridiculous. Other weapons have it MUCH less while scoped/ADS, but it's still there if you're looking for it.
But it's definitely a to-be-patched known issue anyway. |

I've only used a sniper a couple of times, and while scoped, I didn't notice aim assist while I was looking for it.
With the AR and SMG, I did, but it wasn't as problematic as it gets when hip-firing. |
