Title - all popular FPS games are either infested by cheaters or are crafted for roller which means overpowered aim assist, especially hipfire aim assist + shit audio design to give everyone a possibility of surprising other players.
I am an oldschool cod player (played shitton of competitive cod2/cod4 promod) and I would consider myself decent on KBM (played in top ranks of clanbase and cybergamer leagues when they were relevant in the past), after cod2/cod4, played first seasons of APEX -> MW2019 and so on.
COD has been aim assist/cheat heaven since Warzone 2, that's a fact and there's no point discussing it further, we all know how it is.
Tired with BO7 Warzone cheating and OP aim assist, I came back to BF6 REDSEC (I played like 100h in Season 1 and stopped playing) with big hope that I will not run into cheaters as often as I did in Warzone. Turns out, either aim assist is also overpowered in BF6 or a lot of players are cheating.
I know that BF6 netcode is dogshit and its a desync city, but I cannot count the amount of situations where I am getting killed in CQB fights (within 2-3 meters) in like literally 0.5 second while being fully plated, then I go to spectate the player who killed me and from their POV it looks like they are playing on roller based on their camera movement and I proceed to watch them for a bit - each CQB (0-3m) they take, they are NOT MISSING A SINGLE HIPFIRE BULLET WITH WEAPONS THAT HAVE NO HIPFIRE ATTACHMENTS!!! LIKE THERE'S A FUCKING BULLET MAGNET ON ENEMY PLAYERS!!! SAME FOR ADS ACCURACY, LAST GUY I SPECTATED WAS SHOOTING FULL AUTO WITH BLUE CZ3A1 AND NOT MISSING A SINGLE BULLET AGAINS A PLAYER WHO WAS ~50M AWAY FROM THEM, -180HP IN 1 SECOND.
After playing for last 2 weeks, I came to a conclusion that all new FPS games are made specifically for roller and casual gaming audience - no ACTUAL AIMING SKILL required to kill other players and we still have all the cheaters to account for.
You are free to say shit like "you are just bad"/"players got better at the game with time" etc. - I disagree and refuse to believe that suddenly every kbm players have godlike aim and bullet magnetism, most of players that kill me and are not missing a single bullet are roller players anyway - when I was playing highest level of competitive COD2/COD4, situations in which I was like "OMG HOW HE KILLED ME THERE/WTF HAPPENED" occurred maybe once per 20 matches, in BF6/COD/APEX this happens all the time.
I want to hear the experience of other kbm players and I am ready for downvotes from all 'you're just bad"/"players got better" wannabe professors.
