JokerSmokerToker Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMFtwstdHICK Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 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.

StangOne50 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JON22 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantomspirit Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 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...

ten-a-penny Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 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. X S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.

am30 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 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. jazzbone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X S Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Free aim missions are totally pointless and a waste of time given the insane accuracy of the AI. 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'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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbone Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyWorka Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 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.
