To autoaim or not to autoaim?

[PvtRyan]

I've turned autoaim off and it makes the game so much more fun in gunfights. It's harder but I really prefer it.

You?

i sometimes use it to quickly find a target, then free aim to the head...best of both worlds

Of course its turned off. I hate auto aim with a passsion. I dont sped ?45 to have the game play its self for me

Turned it off straight away. I use the aiming mechanics to get a good look at my environments, and in auto-aim it snaps to targets so **** that. It's much more fun doing fire fights when you're not killing everyone really fast - I much prefer the slower, more tactical battles.

It's just too bad it's really apparent in MP - you can tell when someone has it because they always win the firefight. Well, mostly, all because they can dodge your rounds whilst the crosshair never leaves your body.

I thought autoaim in MP was a server setting?

 

[knut]

It is, it's just humans are stupid and the really arrogant people care more about getting points then making the game balanced and fun so they often leave it on. Sucks.

I like AutoAim and then use the semi-free aim to aim at the body parts, aka head if they're shooting back at me or legs if they're running.

Turning autoaim on still allows you to free-aim if you depress the left trigger halfway, and then locks on if you depress it further...

Auto aim, because I can't be bothered with shitty joystick aiming.

FYI, in my angry rant up there I wasn't getting at people that use auto-aim in general, just the people that use it solely for the reason that it's an easier way of getting kills. I ca understand the control prefrences but I know gamers, and I've seen a lot of people turning it on just for the points (think the BF2 players that preferred stat padding over fun gameplay)

I prefer the Auto Aim because my n64 shooting skills are long gone.Although, it sometimes cab be a hindrance when it keeps snapping back to the same target.

Singleplayer I prefer auto-aim. Multiplayer I prefer manual aim(as a server setting)

same.

Manual aim rocks. Although it sucks in multilayer if everyone is using auto-aim against you.

Been using auto-aim up until now but I just switched it to manual. Awesome timing too, because the shoot-outs are starting to ramp up in difficulty (and fun). The only thing I don't like is the way the crosshair moves a bit when you swing out of cover, so you can't always set up a headshot properly. Getting important since they've started wearing body armour, which is ****ing tough to get through.
