The developers promise not only improved content and mechanics, but also a high level of realism, which is reflected, among other things, in the approach to Aim Assist.
The lead combat designer for consoles, Matthew Nickerson, spoke in an interview about the new "Aim Assist 2.0" technology. Based on data from Battlefield 2042 with its crossplay, the team analyzed the experience and created an improved scope aimed at each player — on PC and consoles.
Nickerson emphasized that this does not mean enhanced assistance. "Aim Assist 2.0" evolved from the Battlefield 2042 version. Real-time renders and more complex technologies are used instead of simple forms. Too much auto-aiming from the previous game has been removed. Now the system is more "human", and every hit brings satisfaction.
The changes make the gameplay more difficult and realistic: success depends on the player's skill, not auto-assistance. According to feedback from the beta version, support is there, but noticeably weaker than in Call of Duty, which many consider a step forward.
