Why no controller aim assist when online

Excuse my miswording. Multi-plat. More in the sense of cross-plat. Halo MCC is both Xbox/PC on the same servers whereas this title isn't.

In response to your second point about alienating disabled gamers or those that prefer controller over KB/M. Sure. You're not wrong but at the same time refer back to the point about the auto aim in Halo MCC being so bad that you won't find KB/M in tourneys and barely any in standard lobbies. There's two sides to the fence and simply put while the vast majority of people are ok with a process in place to assist controller players. That same vast majority of people would rather not have a legal cheat to deal with.

Star Wars BF and Halo are different games and different engines. Built on different philosophy. What works and happens in one game doesn't exactly happen in another, but Halo is a useful case study. Halo MCC does nearly the exact same thing as Rockstar in that it allows segregation of KB/M and controller for it's matchmaking but ultimately one side is always going to win out. KB/M is practically dead in MCC. And for a PC game that's not what people want to deal with. Folks just want to boot up some fun.

Sorry buddy no aim assist on the PC version of the game. It’s a PC version everyone should be playing on m/kb, and if you chose to plug in a controller than it’s your choice to but you aren’t getting an advantage over others. Play equal with m/kb or get good with your controller.

It would be nice if it could work a little but be gimped in such a way it is not better than a noob mouse player.

Hey now, m/kb is not noob. M/kb is like driving a manual, controller is an automatic.

There is a very big difference between full lock on/auto aim and aim assist. This game does not have a competitive scene regardless and at the end of the day KB/M is more accurate and superior to a controller user with aim assist. Only way a controller user is beating KB/M in that scenario is if the KB/M user is well below average or the controller user is one of the savants that has mastered free aiming with the controller.

Smellies isn't wrong though. It takes more skill to be good with a controller especially with free aim being involved over KB/M. You just do not have the same level of control with a thumb on a angled surface over your whole arm on a flat surface.

I didn't mean that. I meant m/kb players who happen to be!

People are complaining about this? Controller aim assist online ruins so many PC games, because you're fighting against enemies who have actual literal aim bot.

I'm getting flashbacks to all those CoD "No Scope" b.s. where they kill you with a sniper rifle (which is supposed to be very inaccurate) without even waiting for the scope to pop up, just by abusing the auto-aim.

[Drake Platinum THE WORLD]

Jesus I don't know whats worse the people that can't differentiate literal aimbot and aim assist. Or the people that reviewed bombed this game.

[RABiD Justice]

the aim assist setting are server based. so you need to start a server with the setting turned on. this comes down to them not giving any option in there server selection.

I was wondering the same thing
