During your recent live broadcast for Marathon When developers answered community questions, Bungie has revealed why he decided to add AIM assistance for players who use mouse and keyboard, instead of restricting it for controllers users.
In the video, when asked about the decision to have AIM assistance only one lever regardless of the input device, the developers said it was something new that the study was trying to give more ways to play with the balance of the game. The decision was also made to maintain parity between keyboard players and mouse and controller players in terms of skill ceiling.
In general, AIM assistance is disabled for mouse and keyboard users, while driver users tend to obtain a slider that allows them to decide what level of assistance they would like with their goal.
“This is like something that we are testing as a lever to maintain parity close between the mouse and the keyboard and the controller,” said a developer. “We want to get it and feel it. At this time we do not believe that it is in the most perfect place or anything. We are definitely trying to get people’s reactions to this to be a lever to obtain parity without losing the skill ceiling and the expression of skills you get with the entry of your choice, whether it is the mouse and the keyboard or the controller.”
“That is why it is a scenario to continue and eliminate. We definitely know that there are players who definitely do not want any help with their goal, and they want that feeling of raw input. That is why it is a lever in the menu, we are not trying to make it a kind of thing.
“This is us making this out there to think, and then iterate from there.”
MarathonAim Assist’s version has received a bit of criticism from the players who have participated in the current game of the game. Some have led Reddit to express their disgust with the function, and an example is the Reddit Carmelo_V user talking about how heavy the aim assistance is felt even in the mouse and the keyboard.
Twitch Streamer Shrouud, known for playing competitive shooters in the first person, has also criticized aim assistance in the game, saying that the feature is worsening the PC version in their attempts to have more parity in terms of the game between keyboard users and the mouse and controller users.
“I understand that they are trying to balance between the console and the PC for crossplay, but it will only ruin the part of the PC game,” Shrouud said during a transmission. “Basically, you are trying to help the PC to be balanced against the console, but you are only watering the PC.”
Marathon It is scheduled for its launch on September 23, and will come to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. While Bungie has not yet confirmed the price of the title, the study has said that “it will definitely be a conversation.” Rumors, meanwhile, have indicated that Marathon It will be launched with a price of $ 40.
