Debate - Lock on vs. Aim

Manual I agree is more realistic because it take time to make a good shot, example headshot from a distance. My vote is for Manual

Yay, another manual liker :b

I like manual aim if im a sniping or rocket launching.

I like lock-on aim if im in a quick gunfight where the enemy know where i am.

Manual-aim: for using the time i have.
Lock on: huge gun fights.

Try an understand what i'm saying here

Tomass-hole, I can tell you why you're no longer a moderator.

It's because you are a spammer, flamer and not worthy of being a mod.



On-Topic: Lock on for huge gunfights is really too easy.

How did i spam?

On-Topic as it were. if you used lock-on aim it may cause problems if someone is shooting you from the behind.

Posts with less than one word... and stupid comments. They constitute spam.

There, I've told you, I don't feel like continuing.

On-Topic: Why would it cause problems with lock on? It would go straight to them. Wouldn't it...? I'm not sure actually.

I think it locks on to the enemies you can see but it would be a problem for enemies that are behind you and cant see.

Off topic: what do you have to do to change the status of your membership?

You apply to be a moderator of a forum. But you must have 30 posts in that forum otherwise you can't get to be moderator of it.

On-topic: Oh, I get it now. Like in GTA.

By the way, if you want more information, check Genral Chat, there is a pinned thread about it I tihnk. Or make a thread in General chat... Or Suggestions and Problems.

Thank you for that information, I didn't know that

That's allright, just helping out :b

Does Black even have lock-on aim??

I don't think it does, but the debate is still related to the game.

No, it doesn't, in fact, try and find me an FPS that does.

It depends on the game, fpses (wtf?) or games in which shooting is a major part, like SOCOM or Mercenaries, are better with manual aim.

But games like grand theft auto or Driver that involve things other than shooting are better with auto aim (the manual aim in Driver 3 almost ruined an otherwise perfect game)

I really like the aiming system in Just Cause, it's manual aim normally, but when you point the weapon in the direction of an enemy it locks on to them and follows their movements, this works really well because it doesn't lock on to people that aren't enemies. So my vote it for Just Cause-style aiming!!! Wooooooo!!!

Does anyone else know of any interesting aiming systems?

I found that auto-aim in GTA made it too easy against a couple enemies but when you got to a big group of enemies the lock-on aiming would just glitch and mess up because it tried to go to the closest when they kept moving. Saint's Row got it right with manual aiming in a sandbox game.

ya i agree. if you ever shot someone you woudnt even be online you would be in prison smart one. PS. lock is soooooo yesterday.

also online in firefights the winner is 99.99999999% always deermined by who shot first.
note manual aim is better!!!
