Add "snappier" aim assit to PS4, then balance for play aginst top level PC fireteams.

#1

Disclosure. I play on PC

PS4 Players apparently need more help aiming to play against PC Predators. Add a snappier ADS and more reticle “stickiness” for console players. Maybe even lower recoil and hip fire spread. Whatever they need. They’re easy to annihilate. Most PS4 teams still can’t do anything against Berserkers and will just quit a match when they see they’re playing one.

Then you can balance the game for PC against top level fireteams. (Fix spotting, PARRY, Pred noise, damage falloff, fireteam speed, etc. whatever you wanna do or find that works)

EDIT: So there is A LOT of animosity in the comments here. Just to clarify, I’m not saying console players suck or lack skill. Mouse aim is simply superior. That’s not to say that some console players aren’t really good. To understand using just one example, let’s talk about the 180 turn. Being able to make a really fast 180 degree turn is extremely useful. You can’t do it on a controller without turning the sensitivity way up. Doing that means you sacrifice the ability to make super fine adjustments, and therefore it’s harder to hit headshots. Not without needing to make a lot of corrections for overshooting your target, meaning your not landing as many shots as quickly. If your sense is really low, you can make fine adjustments more easily, but you sacrifice being able to make larger movements quickly, meaning tracking a fast moving target is harder. Mouse aim allows for a wider range of movements. You can adjust using arm, wrist and finger movement respectively, giving you greater control over your aim and speed, regardless of your sensitivity. VS a controller, where all movements are controlled by the thumb. No one is dissing controllers, or consoles. I like consoles and I enjoy playing a lot of games with a controller. And yes, you can be effective in a shooter with a controller, but you’ll never outplay a player of equal skill who is using a mouse.

Thats a horrible idea. I am PC as well but use ps4 controller for this game. Just feels better… probably due in part it was made for ps4. Anyway, I have no issues. Ps4 players just need to get good. And some are . Some are not. Is what it is.

I’ve never lost to a PS4 fireteam. PC spanks all the time. I highly doubt that the entirety of PS4 players just aren’t as good.

Uh… I turn off aim assist any time it’s an option. Git gud. Lol I’m just messing with ya but I dont like aim assist. It honestly throws me off. I used to hate it back in mw3 on ps3.

I forgot you pc or ps?

PS4 players don’t need to just get good. Mouse keyboard is a major advantage. I’ve played PC and console for years so I know this for a fact. TBH I think crossplay on shooters is a bad idea and should be restricted to things like driving or flying games.

A really good ps4 player will easily lose to an average PC player with mouse aim.

There is a good reason why a lot of developers won’t offer support for mouse and keyboard on console. They don’t want some players having an advantage, or disadvantage if they can’t shell out the price for expensive peripherals. Pretty sure this was Blizzard’s stance when it came to Overwatch on consoles. Mouse aim is absolutely superior.

Giving players on console at least an optional aim assist would allow them to compete with PC.

PC. I’d never want it when I have a mouse. But done well, it can be really helpful on console.

I’m on PS4, hate aim assist with a passion, it will ruin the game if they add an aim assist.

No, then those using it have an advantage. No aim assist period.

Or split up hardcore servers from aim assist ones — but there’s already matchmaking issues, so no aim assist still for it will only complicate things and make it worse to play public lobbies.

If PS4 players don’t like playing against PC players because of Mouse & Keyboard just turn cross-play off problem solved.

Wouldn’t want aim assist. They should just support a mouse and keyboard on ps4 if the game is crossplay but they won’t. I just don’t think shooters will ever be fair between console and PC. Not just aiming with a mouse but also frame rates. My last pc used to give me over 100fps on most games which is also a huge advantage when aiming.

I already have cross-play turned off majority of the time. Once @IllFonic finally enables ability to invite friends on opposite platform then I’ll turn it back on.

My family has 4 copies of the game but half are on PC and we can’t even play together which sucks.

yh really sux.

yep

  1. Aim with Key+Mouse strongly depend on skill. Anyone cant do it well just by using K+M.
  2. Gamepad don’t fit properly for FPS like its said many times. But it’s not game problem. It’s your choice play FPS game via console.
  3. Aim assist is cheat = aim hack. Ask sony for support K+M.

Of course it is skill dependent but it’s still way easier with a mouse compared to a controller. A pad is ok for some fps games as long as it’s a level playing field.

You can switch to crosspay off for. The game must be the same for each player no matter of platform.
