aim assist and halo franchise ruined everything

Aim assist was in games before Halo.OreoMilkshake

[QUOTE="subrosian"]Even the most "realistic" of video games is nothing like a real combat situation. If a trained SWAT team, and the top eight FPS players in the world, were put into a real-life combat sim, the team consisting of the FPS players wouldn't get a single connecting shot. The difference is brutal, because FPS games are nothing like real life. The most frustrating thing about FPS games are just how badly the characters move. Why on earth are the majority of games built for the default movement to be head-up sprinting with the gun down-scoped? It makes no sense that a combat-trained soldier (what I'm playing as in most FPS game) would be running out in the open like a lunatic. - As far as aim-assist goes. Again, going back to the soldier I'm supposed to be playing as - what soldier misses a rifle shot a 15-feet on a stationary target? Hell, what soldier misses a shot at 15 yards on a stationary target? Theres no map in Halo where I would miss a shot on anyone who wasn't behind cover - let alone running around like Master Chief does. - As far as your "realistic" FPS titles go - even those games with no aim assist don't play out like a real combat situation. The closest I've seen, in terms of cover, aiming, and shooting, has been the Battlefield series ( esp 2 and 2142 ) but even these are still removed from what it's really like to run around with a gun.Brownesque
