Summary
Call of Duty: Warzoneplayers want Activision to take inspiration fromFortniteand introduce the human-like aim assist which Epic Games recently debuted in the game. The new aim assist was added inFortniteas part of the Chapter 5 Season 4 update to ensure that players on controllers do not get an unfair advantage over keyboard and mouse players, and it seems likeCall of Duty: Warzoneplayers could also benefit quite a bit from it.
The aim assist feature has been one of the most controversial aspects ofCall of Dutygames in recent times. With the advent of crossplay, it is quite crucial that a level playing field is created between players playing the game on keyboard and mouse and controllers, but finding a balance has always been tricky. Activision revealed that it is all set to make some significant changes to theaim assist mechanic with the release ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, but the initial reception during the beta phase wasn’t the best, to say the least. However, it seems likeFortniteis setting a benchmark for the FPS genre.
In a new post on theCall of Duty: Warzonesubreddit, user mikerichh highlights that Activision should borrow a page fromFortnite’sbook. During themid-seasonFortniteChapter 5 Season 4 update, Epic Games added an all-new feature known as human-like aim assist for controller players. What this basically does is it mimics human behavior, preventing users from hitting impossible shots. It tries to reduce the stickiness of aim assist, which means that any sudden movement from the opponent wouldn’t be tracked in a more human-like way. Obviously, this isn’t going to be entirely fool-proof, but the developers state that it can make a difference in cases where the human reaction is consistently predictable.
Call of Duty: Warzonefans think that Activision should implement something similar, and used this example to underline the fact thatFortniteis miles ahead of competition. Redditor trashed717 highlights thatWarzonelacks the support and strategic direction thatFortnitehas, and what makesFortnitestand out is its top-notch updates. Epic Games' proactive development, which relies a lot on player feedback, is something theWarzonecommunity seems to admire quite a lot.
While some are hopeful that this would set a good precedence for the industry, many fans are still skeptical that Activision would implement something similar. They highlight the fact that a number of PC players have already shifted to controllers, and Activision should have taken note of that and implemented drastic measures to alleviate the situation. However, the recentchanges introduced toCall of Duty: Warzonemade things even worseaccording to some players.
