For those who may not know, aim assist is a tool that helps compensate precise aiming for those using controllers instead of mouse and keyboard controls. Now, that debate has sparked once again thanks to the \u201coverpowered\u201d aim assist apparently present in the ongoing Modern Warfare 2 open beta. Clip shows crazy aim assist in Modern Warfare 2 A clip comes from content creator Maxiq on Twitter, who said, \u201cI actually feel bad for [mouse and keyboard] players in COD.\u201d The attached video shows Maxiq shooting at a far-off enemy before two more come rushing through the doorway in front of him. On the surface, it looked as though he effortlessly tracked both opponents to get a triple kill. However, Maxiq gave a bit of context to paint the bigger picture. \u201cContext of this clip: I literally didn\u2019t even move my thumbstick at all to switch between the targets. It was all aim assist\u2026\u201d The tweet went viral, gaining over 7,500 likes with hundreds of responses from Call of Duty fans and content creators replying with their own opinions on the clip. \u201cIt\u2019s a lost cause bro. 99.9% of the player base doesn\u2019t even understand the complexity of the issue and thinks we\u2019re trying to get them to remove aim assist,\u201d said content creator and pro player HusKerrs.

Those interested in learning a bit more about aim assist in Modern Warfare 2 should give the video a look, but for now, it seems Infinity Ward may need to reevaluate just how strong aim assist is on controller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Insane Modern Warfare 2 clips show off \u201coverpowered\u201d aim assist ActivisionModern Warfare 2 players are outraged with the amount of aim assist controller players have during the ongoing open beta period.
