Aim assist has long been a controversial topic in the Warzone community. It\u2019s a gameplay mechanic designed to make aiming on a controller easier but some players and even pros believe that it has gotten too powerful. It mostly works by slowing down the user\u2019s aim when they look near a target but that isn\u2019t the only type of aim assist. Newer Call of Duty games also utilize rotational aim assist, an additional mechanic that partially tracks enemy movement for you if the left analog stick is being pushed in any direction. JGOD wants aim assist nerfed in Warzone 2 to restore skill gap JGOD has asked the Warzone 2 devs to consider nerfing aim assist but he isn\u2019t expecting anything. The Warzone 2 expert posted a commentary on an analysis video showcasing how aim assist works in Call of Duty. At one point a viewer asked JGOD why Infinity Ward would nerf aim assist which he replied: \u201c[Aim assist] is a little too strong and it doesn\u2019t require much skill so [the devs] won\u2019t nerf it but they should.\u201d Timestamp of 9:27 Several commenters agreed with JGOD that the current state of aim assist in Warzone 2 is a problem as one user responded: \u201cThis video isn\u2019t just for MnKB players to be upset about. If you are a good controller player you should be shocked by this too! Having such AA decreases the skill gap significantly.\u201d A mouse and keyboard player chimed in with their view on aim assist: \u201cAs a mouse player, this is exactly why I avoid close-quarter fights as much as possible. I have no issue with controllers getting some aim assist, it\u2019s the aim assist deniers that have convinced themselves it\u2019s pure skill on their end.\u201d Call of Duty is often seen as a console game and console gamers almost exclusively play on controller. The improvements to aim assist has helped controller players but left the average mouse player \u201cat a disadvantage statistically,\u201d as admitted by Infinity Ward\u2019s co-studio head Patrick Kelly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JGOD urges Warzone 2 devs to nerf aim assist as it is \u201ctoo strong\u201d YouTube: JGODWarzone 2 expert JGOD believes that aim assist needs a nerf in Warzone 2 with it being \u201ctoo strong,\u201d but he isn\u2019t expecting Infinity Ward to agree.
