Auto Aim, Aim Assist, call it whatever you like. I understand that console shooter players have to deal with the inadequacies of using a gamepad and I understand that because of that a slight assist to their aiming can be helpful in making a game more enjoyable. But when that crap goes too far and merrily strolls into the realm of being frustrating, something needs to be done about about it.
There is no reason that sniper rifle rounds should be leaving the barrel at slanted, and in a few instances almost right angles. There is no excuse for being in a shoot out with someone at even modest range and having my aim forcibly dragged off the guy I’ve almost got killed by someone who ran between us and him, often resulting in me getting killed as I’ve lost time on target. It’s flat out stupid that my look speed should seem like it gets cut in half when my cursor get within a couple degrees of someone, and then flys off them as the autoaim decides it’s assisted enough and stops slowing it down after I’ve corrected for the sudden drag. And best of all there is no excuse for the fact that when a bunch of crawlers are running in front of me (or a couple enemies in MP ) that my cursor gets basically stuck in the middle of the screen because auto aim can’t decide which guy it wants to chase. Heck if you stand even halfway close to an enemy you can walk around them in a circle without having to move the right stick at all because auto aim is that sticky some times.
So for goodness sake and we PLEASE either get an option to turn of or at least tone down auto aim if not in H4 then in H5. I’m sick and tired of it screwing me so often in both single and multiplayer. It’s largely reminding me why I don’t play console shooters any more, and that feeling sucks coming from a game I otherwise love so much.
