Is Snap Aim the new standard?

[Irres169]

Jump, near the height of your jump
Tap L1, once it snaps to the closest enemy
Tap R1
Repeat

I assure you this works, this mechanic exists in another game I played online StarHawk. There it's annoying but tolerable because you are playing against other people who can get out of the way. Against NPC's it's kind of a joke.

I'm not sure if it exists on all the weapons, I will try it tonight and post back. But on the assualt class machinegun the first one you get it works very well. I believe th pistol as well.

I'm on the PS3 beta and I've played 2-3 hours approximately and I only had snap happen a couple of times and they were never head shots. I played Outlaw and Survivalist.

Well i use assault rifles/snipers heavily.
So far the snap aim is huge on assault rifles/pistols/smgs/lmgs
Everything else it has little to no snap aim assist.

For what does have a ridiculous aim assist,needs to be nerfed.

Edit : Here i made a video to show you guys what me and OP are talking about.Yellow is crits and white is normal damage.

Theres literally no skill involved in what i did.Just spam L1/R1 :/ i would imagine people who PVP to be more angry.i dont mind it so much since i coop a lot but still.If they said its a real shooter etc it shouldnt be like that lol but then again,this is a Beta so they might of fixed it or at least threw it into setings to toggle it on/off.

It's fine, it reminds me of Warhawk which had full out sticky-aim and it didn't remove the skill at all, just made the game more fast paced.

I think people over react to how much skill it takes to aim a gun in a video game, it's really not that hard to point at something. Most the skill comes from knowing where to be, how to best approach a situation, and knowing how to react to what the enemy does.

Honestly, I have not noticed it either. The enemies move around a lot so it makes it tougher for this so called snap aim anyway. Maybe will be somehow exploited in the multiplayer but I will buy this for the story missions anyway.

I'd like to see a option to remove this in PvE and to remove it completely in PvP.

I have not notice it either, but i'll pay a little more attention tonight when I play to see if it happens. I plan to play very little MP.

Aim-assist should NEVER snap for headshots. Maybe the chest, but headshots...no. And for all of you who aren't noticing anything, play CoD with aim-assist on, then turn it off.

Well if thats the case....I want a challenge honestly....and yes I do know it exists in COD. I am going to pay more attention to it next time I log on.
