What is wrong with auto aim?

Okay so this isnt a debate thread on whether or not one should use autoaim or not - i like using autoaim on GTA because of the camera angle and the fact that im on PS3 and cant use 1st person to aim on iron sights, also im just f*ckin terrible at free aiming on GTA. That being said, i dont wanna hear it.

 

So anyways, onto my point, i was playing with a buddy today and we were terrorizing a freemode lobby, we mustve made at least 200 kills before two guys decided to step to the plate and throw down with us, we were doing amazing at first, sniping the crap out of them and what not, then the inevitable happened - one of us died and s ppawned across the street from our enemies. Then the sht fest began for real. My autoaim was working fine at first, then all of a sudden it felt like i was being switched back and forth between free aim and auto aim. I would pop out from behind cover, hit the aim button, while pointing right at the bastard and it would not lock on for the life of me. I died about 20 times from that crap, same for my buddy. What made me so freakin mad, is that our enemies seemd to have ZERO problem auto aiming on us, absolutely no problem at all. I made sure i had aim assist turned on about halfway through getting my sht stomped all up and down the street, and still had this issue...

 

Why the hell does this happen? Ive never gotten so angry playing this game before, i just about punched my step dad when he came in to tell me to calm down lol

By "combat rolls" he meant if your enemies were using it.

Combat Rolling breaks auto aim.

Nothing is wrong with it. AA rules..

 

 

Especially for players like me who can't FA for sh*t, can't do the little bunny roll and shoot.. And, just plain suck at this game. LOL

That is just lag, people with sh*t internet connections. Happenes all the time. You will be killin the sh*t out of people then your aa just stops working, usually shortly after this I almost always lag out of the lobby.

Especially if you have a few people in a small area shooting and the cops get totally out of control the lag just gets insane.

auto-aim also only stays on target for a couple seconds, bare that in mind.

 

if you keep L2 (or whatever button it is for XBox) held down for too long, it will cut off.

My autoaim likes to point above targets, or the target furthest away when a player/npc is closer than said target filling me with lead. Offtopic, I hate movement on foot in this game. So clunky when changing direction.

Terrorizing and killing over 200 people? There's your problem right there, karma's a bitch. :)

ive never had problems with autoaim disconnecting unless someone moves behind cover too long, what was happening, was that my buddy and i, couldnt even lock onto the guys, maybe 2/10 times we engaged them, we got a lock on, other than that it was all free aim - annoying as f*ck lol

I don't sympathise with you,as I regard you as a Griefer,however I have found after the last few Updates the Combat MG doesn't aim properly,it tends to aim above your target ,also you get massive re-coil.I don't use it anymore...

Not trying to be an "FreeAim elitist" but this tip may help you a bit....

 

Practice FreeAim OP. At least even if AutoAim stopped working you'll still win. I do this all the time.

Free Aim is easy if you know what to do and such.

This. Lag.

 

My suggestion would be to learn to play on Free Aim by doing missions with it. Once you get the hang of it, it will come in handy during those moments.

 

I had this happen to me yesterday. Killed a guy 5 to 1 because he was lagging across my screen, but I was still able to Free Aim and kill him. I'm not even sure if he could lock on to me, so he wasn't so lucky.

Free aim missions are totally pointless and a waste of time given the insane accuracy of the AI.

 

The game is massively out of sync at the moment so switching to free-aim won't be of any help. I was able to empty about 20 rounds into a dudes chest the other day yet he still head-shotted me. I'm keeping PvP stuff to a minimum until Rockstar or Microsoft fix whatever damage the Festive update did.

lol ummm, that's the point of playing them in free aim, to not only improve your aiming skills, but your overall game. The enemies' accuracy should have no bearing on your ability to complete the missions if you're good enough, and that's the point of using free aim missions for practice.

I would agree if they were attacking me TACTICALLY, not insta gib me the second I pull my head up. If I want to get insta-fragged and insta-frag others, I'll just go back and play Doom.

You have a nerve to complain.

 

Like, seriously dude.....do you expect sympathy ??

Sorry to disappoint you, but this is GTA Online. It gives you an option to kill, but unlike GTA IV, there is profit to actually be made in deathmatches so you can buy the ammo you use so much. Edited by And Spy Was Cow

You'r wrong, that's what free-aim in free-roam is for. Using free-aim in missions is a total and utter waste of time.

 

NPCs have nerfed accuracy in free aim, but they're still damn good shots.

 

Since when? I've certainly never noticed this, nor have any of the people I play with.

You kill each other in mine craft too, and what with the free open world that mine craft also has, not the best contrast to pick, might have been better telling him to go play hello kitty. Though that might have kitty on kitty action...

I thinks it's all from lag. Auto aim and hit detection has deteriorated with overall game lag and connection problems of the past few months and since the xbone and ps4 additions to online. With the same internet speed from a year ago gtao performance on my ps3 is not as good for me as it was last summer.

This happens to me when I'm in a auto aim lobby and all of the sudden my aim switches to free aim for no reason at all. I think it's just a glitch. As for punching your step Dad, I hope you're kidding if not you need to seek mental help and STOP playing the game if you get that upset. You NEED to distinguish real life and fiction.

See, kids? When you use absolutes, don't expect anyone to take your opinion seriously. This discussion is going nowhere.
