Black ops console MP: Aim Assist ON or OFF?

So they finaly gave us the option to turn off aim assist on console. Personaly I'm happy with that.
I play hardcore 90% of the time, so adding this completed the hardcore experiance for me.

What about system wars guys? Are you a whimp who play softcore with aim assist or hardcore without?

I use aim-assist on every console FPS game.

Don't need it on PC.

use it since everyone has it on anyway

Didn't know you could turn it off.

Killzone has no aim assists and I've never been as good on an FPS, as I am on Killzone so i'll give it a go.

c'mon man this is system wars, everybody hates CoD and the evil empire.... psst... we all have auto aim on. shhhh.

On console I would use it, also COD 3 had this option as well.soulitane

I've found that the inaccuracy of the thumb-sticks compared to the mouse is the reason why auto-aim is a necessity in console shooters.

In single player, when you aim down sights it will lock on to the closest enemy.

Aim assist is when it "assists" your normal aiming. On consoles this is normal, which is why sometimes if you're walking and an enemy is in the centre of your reticle it sometimes moves slightly towards that enemy, and when aiming at someone it slows down when aimed at the enemies body.

Yeah, if there was a mode where it was off for everyone that would be great, but intentionally crippling yourself compared to your opponents isn't too smart when playing online.

OFF and not because I'm a badass and hate everyone that have it on , it's just because it screwed me a handful of times already like when I'm shooting at someone and another enemy pass by dragging my crosshair to him , it really pisses me off.This happened more time than it saved me , hence why I have it off.

I was actually going to ask. I would love if Aim Assist was turned off once you played in prestige mode. I think that would be awesome. The only reason I don't turn AA off is because I know everyone else uses it and I'd get my butt handed to me but does prestige mode force users to turn it off?

Aim-assist is lame. Sadly, I usually leave it on when playing MP as to not leave myself at a complete disadvantage. When it comes to SP though if I have the option to disable it then I turn aim-assist off and turn my sensitivity up, usually about 3/4 of the way.

Have not noticed it tbh, and I've been playing both the PC version and on the consoles.

i like in mw2 when you see a red dot and you throw a flash bang arround the corner and it blinds them then you go out and they kill you in 2 shots while their screen is snow white.

Aim assist is one of the better parts about console shooters. Why? Because controllers suck. Not needed with a keyboard and mouse.Merex760

If they weren't vag's, they would just have taken the auto aim (which is what COD has, not aim "assist") out. As it is, it just leads to the same stupidity found in RDR online.

To my understanding you can't turn it off completely, turning it off in the menu only lessens the extent of the aim assist but there's still some there only on the pc can you get no aim assist at all.DJ_Headshot

When turned off you don't get that target tracking effect, where your sight moves with the target, at all.

My thoughts exactly. Don't know how many kills I missed out on in MW1 because of it.

If you think COD's assist is auto aim, then you didn't play Quake 3 on PS2. People just had to be in the screen and the bullets bended onto them. This is weak target tracking, which I would call assist.

I'm used to aim assist in COD games so i'm probably not gonna turn it off.

No, I certainly didn't play Quake 3 on PS2, but that doesn't change how pervasive the auto aim in CoD is. Just because it's worse in another game doesn't mean it's not ridiculous in this game that we're talking about. All in all, I feel the auto-aim, lock-on, snap on silly aim bot in the MP component of BO isn't as bad as MW2, it's still silly and ridiculous, especially considering they seem to do it just to make the game more popular, which is disgusting.

I turned it off, but when it was on it showed me too many people's locations as it snaps to them through walls or what ever else is in the way. The disparity isn't as bad as RDR where there is a literal snap on aim assist, but it's still gross that this is considered anything other than a joke to players.

I remember the first time I played Halo 3, and at some point my reticle was tracking (on its own) a person as the moved towards me. I thought this was absolutely stupid and, as a result, could never take the game seriously again.

I just look at it like this. Horrendous lag + stupid auto aim = a game depended on random kill assignments, which is a laughable online game.
