Aim Assist is Broken...

It's broken. There's not much else to say about it. I realize that without it, this game would be exclusive to hard core gamers only, but let's be real here. Casual or Hardcore, if you're shooting an enemy in the head and another enemy dashes across your line of sight, in what world would you ever violently start tracking the other target? The mechanics have been broken since Halo Reach (which clearly they have re-used the same flawed logic here), but it seems MUCH more intense in this game. I won't say that it hasn't ever helped me because I'm sure it has; however, the point is we should never have to fight against it. If a player's sticks are moving left, the game is fighting back to the right until it decides "ok, I'm done" at which point his aim shifts left and overshoots the target. This video isn't the greatest example, but it's pretty clear what's happening. Please someone just validate that I'm not the only one that despises this mechanic?

  • Yeah aim assit is very annoying. Tired of having someone in crucible move slightly left and right to screw it up. For those of you who don't know what I mean if your aiming at them while there doing this your gun follows them even when you shoot making harder to hit them in general but with aim assist at work makes it impossible to actually kill them. If they let you fire straight without moving the gun at all you'd kill them before they get you.
