Sniper in console?

I have absolutely no difficulties with it on the Xbox 360... and I like using a sniper rifle in several different games.  With most games, console players can usually make some adjustments to their control sensitivities and enable target assist features to get things just how they like it.

In Mass Effect 1, if the class you are playing can train in the SR, the weapon is scoped when you depress the left trigger.  Shooting it can be done with or without using the scope by depressing the right trigger.  Aiming is controlled by the sticks.  As you upgrade, the amount of sway is diminished.  If the class you are playing cannot train the SR, then the weapon will not scope, but you can still fire it.

It's fine, apart from when you try to shoot a Ravager, and you hit a Swarmer instead because the game decides that you need help.

I'm fine. I even use the controller on my PC version.. since that's what I first played ME on (360).

I kind of wonder though... maybe I'm good with it because I'm left handed? I don't know. I was thinking about this the other day.. why people have such problem aiming on gamepads. I'm good with either mouse or controller, but maybe since my "strong" hand (the left) is set up to aim with the left stick, it feels OK.

Sniping in SP as a Soldier or Infy is EZ mode because of the time dilation garbage. MP it is a bit more rewarding, but still easy given that there are a multitude of powers that can strip shields and stagger mooks for easy headshots (Sabotage, Energy Drain, Overload etc.), not to mention that headshots aren't even all that necessary with the God tier rifles (Widow, Javelin, Black Widow) provided Phasic ammo is used.

In my experience, the console's auto aim can be abused to quickscope in this game quite easily, at least on PS3. Add that to the lethargic AI and lack of bullet physics on most weapons (Kishock Harpoon gun being a notable exception), and it's easier than most shooters I've played.
