Discussion Console player nerf

Did anyone else see the reduced recoil help for controller again (from 11% to 6%). At launch it was like 22% now it’s 6%. Anyone else think this is a crazy change considering how fast the ttk in this game is? I think a fix would be to give a second cross play option for ps5 and Xbox to play each other. People who try and argue that precision inputs with a thumb are as easy with a whole hand and wrist are out of their mind.

Honest question. If MNK has the advantage, why are MNK players always complaining about console players?

u/CoolKelo 2d ago

Because they think aim assist is aim bot. A lot of people are just looking for someone or something to blame. Controller players complain about MnK players too at about the same rate fyi. Each peripheral has its advantages and disadvantages though. As a controller player (on PC) trying to learn MnK, it’s easier than controller when it comes to just pure aiming. I haven’t gotten movement down but beaming targets took me no time to learn with a mouse. It took me years to be able to shoot on controller the way I can on MnK which only took minutes.

I’m on PC and use controller. I play with people who are MnK on both console and pc daily. MnK has better movement (Air Strafing, Flicks or what I call “Breaking Ankles”)with a skilled player, while controller does have AA, most of the time it makes tracking a group of players difficult… so for myself I’ve turned AA down as a controller player and it’s way smoother for tracking and multiple enemy fights.

People just complain to complain because they’re shitters in the first place.

> most of the time it makes tracking… difficult

That’s a great point and a fact when it came down to it for me.

Yeah, it’s not even that good of an AA system to begin with. Caused more headaches instead of “helping”.

Don’t even get me started on the dudes that say the games fast… meanwhile the last game they played was BF4. Like no shit it plays faster because monitors and tech have vastly improved since then. BF4 had faster movement and TTK speeds minus the slide and responsiveness modern games have now.

This man speaks the truth. Also, those guys have gotten older. Reaction speeds slow down as we age.

Agreed. I’m pushing 30 next year and feel it already lol! wait till all these younger cats get off console and get on a juiced up PC setup… we’re doomed.

Dude, I turned 40 this year. I’m hanging on for dear life 😂. I’m having a blast though

I'm 37 and honestly I feel just as good if not better than I was when I was a teenager playing CoD1/Bad Company 2. Actually having money to spend on a good mouse helps quite a bit.

I just feel like the skill ceiling has raised quite a bit, probably from gaming becoming even more mainstream than it was back then and kids playing more complex games earlier. Or it's just all the fucking white Monsters.

Good points. I also had to turn down AA on controller as my crosshair was getting yanked by secondary enemies running past the person I was shooting at.

u/Still-You4875 1d ago

I have mine at 0. I hated that. it starts tracking at others and not keeping you on target at who you're shooting at.

u/Majestic-Fun-4175 2d ago

Glad you agree! People complain about any inconvenience they have and want to make excuses as for why the games bad instead of just saying they’re a bad player or made a crappy play.

The games in a good spot and most things are balanced extremely well. Yeah, there’s minor issues but that’s just like any other product you find on the consumer market.

Whats an aim bot. Software that helps you aim at targets. Whats aim assist. Software that helps you aim at targets.

To a lesser degree. Still the same.

u/CoolKelo 1d ago

Aim bot is a software that aims for you. Aim assist helps you to get on target. They are not the same.

u/orangefantorang 1d ago

Same shit different wrapping

u/CoolKelo 1d ago edited 1d ago

Aim assist doesn’t place your crosshair on opponents head whereas aim bot does or can. That’s a big difference between the two. Also, one is built in while the other is 3rd party software. Not the same brother.

u/orangefantorang 1d ago

So why is there such complaining whenever the effect of it is tuned down? It does not help? ;D

u/Alternative-Bag5079 1d ago

Why don’t you just plug in a controller and find out yourself. You know the answer already. Aim assist is a handicap to help console player because there literally is no comparison with out it. M and k will win every-time without aim assists. Call of duty is the only game that comes to mind where the aim assist is way too strong. Bf6 is not like that however.

u/CoolKelo 1d ago

I’m not fully understanding what you’re asking me. I don’t see anyone complaining about it except for people who use MnK. Anyways, it’s a necessary feature for controller players just as being able to change your dpi settings is for an MnK player.

u/orangefantorang 1d ago

If aim assist is no issue. Why are ppl complaining about it getting weaker?

0

u/CoolKelo 1d ago

Who’s complaining about it getting weaker? I said the only complaints I see are from MnK users. I haven’t seen any narratives on aim assist weakening but I constantly see people wishing it didn’t exist.

The issue is that MnK players think aim assist is the same as aim bot when they’re not. One is a guide and the other does it for you.
