Modern Warfare 2\u2019s aim assist revives heated controller vs mouse & keyboard feud ActivisionA Reddit video explaining Call of Duty\u2019s \u201crotational aim assist\u201d sparked the age-old debate of controller versus mouse and keyboard. Aim assist is a tool that evens the playing field between console and PC players on FPS titles. Simply put, aim assist snaps the crosshair onto enemies while using a controller to compensate for its limited mobility compared to a keyboard and mouse. Professional Warzone player Aydan believes aim assist gives console players an \u201cunfair\u201d advantage. OpTic Gaming\u2019s \u2018Dashy\u2018 explained why nerfing aim assist could improve Call of Duty forever. A video showcasing Call of Duty\u2019s \u201crotational aim assist\u201d fueled the fire of an already contentious debate. What is rotational aim assist? Reddit user Craz-Zucchini1984 created a video showing different examples of rotational aim assist on a controller. Players are pre-conditioned to aim with the right stick while using a controller. However, for rotational aim assist, only using the left stick or slightly touching the right stick makes the game do all the leg work for you. Watching the video below does better justice than any explanation. One player in the comments did their best to break down the feature. \u201cYou should be primarily using the left stick only & using the right stick only to snap your reticle or turn on people.\u201d A second user added, \u201cthis is what PC players have been complaining about. They don\u2019t want slow-down aim assist removed, they want rotational toned down, so it doesn\u2019t stick to you and give you 100% accuracy.\u201d The most significant point of contention is controller players receiving an unfair advantage. \u201cHonestly, impressive how people can blindly believe this isn\u2019t flat-out broken; it\u2019s not even \u201caim assist\u201d anymore; it\u2019s just aiming for you.\u201d Modern Warfare 2\u2019s beta gave us a taste of its aim assist, and players are outraged with the amount of aim assist controller players have. The debate appears to have no solution in sight for either side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
