The Marathon alpha has only been live a day, but the slowly expanding player pool has already ignited its first major discourse. It's an evergreen topic among FPS enjoyers, and a personal favorite to complain about until someone tells me to shut up: That's right, baby, we're talking about aim assist.
Marathon has aim assist for controllers, which is entirely normal for an FPS launching on PlayStation and Xbox. What's not so normal is that mouse and keyboard also gets aim assist, and it's extremely noticeable. In the alpha's settings it's called "Aim Magnetism," and it's on by default.
