Finally have a good weapon (Vanquisher), but I kid not when in some games like half my shots miss the mark entirely. Headshots? Forgot about it. Enemy could be sitting perfectly still with it's melon smiling right at me and I still struggle to aim for it. In ME3mp playing the weapon and above average console aiming was my thing, so I don't mind power & combos being nerfed in this one. But something still feels off or too different about the aiming in this game. I noticed we have higher sensitivity options this time around, messing around with 70% sensitivity right now as I work my way up to 100%. But my aiming is barely improving. Granted I'm not playing with my controller of choice (why I just placed an order Chono's so I can use Microsoft's X-Box 360 or Bone controllers on my PS4), and I did just recently notice playing this specific game that the deadspot on Dual Shock 4s is actually quite big and also contributing to the problem to my dismay.
For PC players I also read that you guys have some mouse accelerator issue, which makes me wonder if the console versions have this issue too or if it's too different from ME3.

Lol, I'm sorry my friend but you're having to adjust to actually aiming this time.

I haven't tried the vanquished yet, but I've been headshooting easily with Widow and Black Widow. To be honest, I haven't seen any noticeable difference between ME3 and MEA when it comes to sniping with those weapons.
BTW, I play on PC so it can be different on consoles.

ME3 had incredibly high aim assist.. so high that you could just aim and pull the trigger at the same time and be rewarded with body shots. This wasn't exclusive to sniper rifles, it could be done with stuff like the Talon, Paladin etc. The game basically played itself for you.
This time around the aim assist is almost non existent. It's gonna take some legit coordination, finger dexterity and good ole' fashioned practice until you git gud son. People are literally going to have to L2aim.

No aim assist on PC, and I agree it feels different. I can't put my finger on it. I think enemies are faster, but like you said, even stationary enemies seem harder to hit.

Why I was so glad with MGamerz controller mod for ME3mp that I could finally turn it off. Game got so much better without it. So yeah, you bet I'm glad we finally have the option to turn it off in MEA. |

On PC and I noticed that the hit boxes on enemies are wonky. I hit their head and it requires three shots to kill a mook on Silver wiht my Vanquisher. I sometimes hit slightly above their head and one-shot them. Sometimes it's the neck and other times it just seems random for weak point hit indicators.
I remember ME3MP had the same problem before they patch it and weak points became more reliable.
Also I have noticed that sometimes I can shoot directly at enemies and still not have a hit register. I assume this is a lag issue.

Maybe it's because i'm not hosting. pretty much its an off host issue / as for mouse aiming, its supper easy I can adjust the dpi on my mouse on the fly (g500s laser mouse) so once I work out how much to aim off by its all good. as a side note anyone noticed that the sodding ascendant's orb takes exactly one magazine full to kill and you spend the time the things vulnerable for reloading your gun (most noticeably when not hosting) its fine for vanguard who can jump in nova and jet away before reloading but for the average guy its a real pain in the tits, especially when your teams already died ..... |

It's just what Mega said earlier aim assist isn't there anymore and people are having to adjust. That and the wonky ass frame rate drop at times can throw you. |

I find aiming to actually be easier in Andromeda, probably because the scopes aren't as powerful as they were in ME3MP as well as engagement distances being further if wanted. I noticed the issue with headshots off host being wildly variable, for instance on a Raider the head reg could be their neck, just a bit out of their model left, on top of their helmets, square middle only where the nose would be, and sometimes on their right ear only. Playing with a different host requires adjustment, which I guess keeps things pretty fresh.

I've noticed if I put my crosshair on an enemy head, then tap zoom/scope - it seems it goes just to the side of the head - then adjusting back to get the crosshair on the head seems to over compensate, like it didn't realize whether I was zoomed or not zoomed and uses the modifier from one or the other.

Having to tap both bumpers for cloak while lining up a headshot is ass, especially with single shot weapons. I'm finding that I'm able to lay down more reliable dps by not cloaking and focusing on weak point shots.

I suck at sniping in general so i sure dont land every shot, but I wouldn't go so far as to say headshots are impossible, I do get plenty of them.
I had to up my sensitivity a bit and after that it just comes down to practice.

I'm a legit bad FPS player but aiming isn't too bad in this game, can land headshots about 50% of the time. This looks like a l2p issue.

I find the poor melee tracking to be a worse issue.

You mean while 9 out of the 14 enemies are bearing down on you? And god forbid you need to move or use a power before the reload has finished. I generally line up my shots prior to scoping and just snap shot while walking in little circles, or back pedaling. |

Are you soloing or something? Maybe you should position yourself better as a sniper or something, unless you're dealing with useless teammates, but that wouldn't be an every game issue. |
