Auto-Aim - New Rule - Everyone Read

It has been known for awhile that certain gamepads give a slight advantage by "auto-aiming", this can finally be addressed as the addition of /noaim to the APP_COMMAND_LINE_BASIC in the server .ini file.

All clans are required to add this command to their server .ini.

No matches are to be played on a server that does not have this.

If you currently have a match scheduled and cannot get your server updated before the match time, notify me and I will allow a postponement of your match until this can be taken care of.

It does not matter to our clan either way. We're about having fun. I personally have known aim-assist was built into SWBF for sometime. I also have turned it off on our server on occasions. Do this if you really want to see how good you are! This certainly will even the playing field. GOOD! However, its a little misleading that it only benifits gamepad users. For this and other SWBF tweaks. See this link: http://www.tweakguides.com/SWB_7.html

That is page 7. SWBF fans might find more than the server tweaks of interest.

I think that the aim asst shopuld be allowed in the matches for the sole reason that it is in the game. As to game pads being used without aim asst. how is that going to be watched. I mean its wrong in my mind to tell people what kind of hardware that they can use. Whats next screen size and refresh rate, mouse sen. I mean where will the line be drawn. The aim asst. only brings the solder to a level that they can hold thier own against the other classes. I play with both keyboard/mouse and a gamepad is it cheating or cheap, maybe but so is spawn killing with out taking the cp. Maybe that should be banned from the matches as well, after all; all that that is, is padding ones stats. I have no problem playing by the rules and I will, its just i feel that some people who might play the other classes started to get beat by solders and dont like it so they whine about it and call it unfair. My entire agrument is that it was put in the game for a reason, and why should we take it out of the game. Lets play the game as it is and have fun. But take it out thats fine maybe some of the other clans that reley on the gamepad will start to see just how good of players that they are. Anyways thats my thought on it.

Don't misunderstand. You are still allowed to use gamepads, it's only the aim assist that happens with a gamepad that we are trying to prevent.

And if both teams agree in match comms to leave it off than that would be acceptable, but both must agree.

MN's server has it off now, and we won't be agreeing to any matches with it on.

BTW, if you launch Battlefront through Gamespy you will be able to see whether or not /noaim is enabled. autoaim 0 means it has been disabled. autoaim 1 means it has NOT been disabled.

The aim assist was built in for riflemen and I have not seen a benefit for any other class. Not having give the rocketeers a bigger advantage now and that is fine with me cuz I can shoot rockets too . CI has set its servers to aim 0.
