Aim Assist in Combat Evolved

[Danke]

Hey, I just realized something.

I was wondering why people didn't complain about AA on the original CE for PC.

Looking it up; it seems it was most likely because it worked wildly differently on one single thing:

It didn't trigger with movement.

Check this out:

Here's my video; on which I explained that I need to move for AA to do its thing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl94ZdK7aMM

And here's another guy showcasing AA on CE for PC:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyGs9wq94LM

It hadn't dawned on me until now. Aim Assist might be just right, the problem is that it triggers without the player needing to aim at all, or even touch the Right Stick.

If AA triggers by only moving, then it's not assisting on anything. It's aiming on its own.

Now here's the best part; or what MIGHT be the best part:

MCC's CE is based on the original PC port, NOT the original Xbox release. Meaning, if they keep the original settings, Aim Assist by movement will be disabled by default.


Now you might think: So what?

As you can see here:

And particularly here:

If players have to interact with their aiming to trigger aim assist, then, naturally, they'll be messing it up.

A human will never react with the same precision and accuracy as a machine; so by the simple fact that to use aim assist you need to aim, you'll be going against the aim assist from time to time.

As you can see in the second video - at 0:44 is a nice example - I even struggle to center my crosshair to do the zoomed in showcase.

TL;DR: Controller players on PC were more skillful than controller players on Xbox.

PS: That was a joke, there's no TL;DR.

PPS: Yes, I copied this from another post of mine.

I couldn't find any current showcases on Aim Assist in CE MCC.

But found this:

It appears to me that the AA doesn't trigger on movement alone on CE, particularly apparent when using the Shotgun, but that could be my wishful thinking.

In that video at 44:33, I'm 90% sure that there was no aim-assist despite him moving, then, right after, aim assist kicks in as he turns.

[Danke]

Found this one too.

Either AA doesn't trigger with movement alone, or AA is weak as hell in CE.

I'm going insane. Send help.

Even Halo 2 Vista had it too.

What?

We all know about Aim Assist. This is about whether or not Aim Assist triggers on movement alone in CE.

While the depth of research here is impressive, might I suggest channeling all that mental and creative energy into something that isn't driving you nuts?

...and that matters?

Research in a field that advances the human condition. That assists others (with something other than grinding on their personal salt mines).

Consider medical research. Teaching (it can be terrible for your liver, depending on your subject area, but it's generally worth it). Engineering. Software development.

Much as we've butted heads a few times here, your intelligence, attention to detail, and depth of research have always been clear. If this drives you insane, turn your talents to something more productive.

...if you find joy in digging into stuff that only fuels your stress, then keep at it, I suppose.

you are the most mind numbingly boring person i've ever encountered, and you derail every thread you're in. yes, indeed, mm, quite, indupidably sir i believe you too are comitting far too much of your efforts of intelligence to video games and online forums, as you do not seem to understand the concept of free time or fun.

Hey! Thank you! That's nice to hear!

That's... not so nice.

Either way some guy already confirmed that movement does trigger AA in CE, so I was wrong. Have a good day.

yeah sorry that guy just rustles my jimmies. i don't respond well to arrogance like his. i'm friendly to nice people, but not people who like the smell of their own farts, so to speak.

he is very trash though

It'd be nice if there was an option to turn off aim assistance. Alot of old game remaster/rereleases usually have the option. Aim assist just makes you feel like a gimp.
