On console aim assist is currently on by default and not even able to be turned off in the options menu.
Please allow separate game mode selection to force disable aim assist for all players who choose that mode, as having an option to turn off aim assist for only yourself does not resolve the issue.
I say this in all seriousness, aim assist in a game like this completely destroys any core value the game offers.
[rant time] If competitive pvp via aiming with a thumbstick is such a vile horrid thing to try compared to key and mouse, why even waste the time creating a game to fit into the specs of a console and it's controller, why do people even waste their time playing it on console, just dirty filthy casuals doing their thing?!

There are likely many reasons people play console, maybe because a high-end gaming machine is not in everyone's budget, maybe it's what they're used to, maybe because they are a casual gamer as that's what makes up the bulk of the gaming community and they enjoy playing on console. Some just enjoy playing a game with friends for casual competition, not to be a pro gamer who lives and dies by m+k... Simply requesting the option to turn off/on aim assist would have been enough, referring to casual gamers as "dirty filthy casuals" is quite unnecessary!

My whole point is aim assist completely ruins the whole point of playing a shooter, it's like demanding everyone to play the game less, and try to enjoy it more as a less interactive less cognitive and more movie like experience. And this is the standard for console gaming, which imo is disgusting. Just look at rdr2, i dropped that game like a stone because of how bad of an issue this is in that game. And i know the reason why devs are forced into building their game like this too, the people up top think trying to achieve the most accessibility and appeal to the largest diversity of gamers will equal highest profits. In reality it may drive the best sales yes but long term none ends up being happy because no crowd truly got what they wanted, i guess aside from the dirty filthy casual that plays a few hours a week just to kill time and be entertained or screw around with friends >_>

Aim assist should be totally removed, akin to aim botting
