Halo 3 aim assist: makes the game too casual

I don't consider Halo to be hardcore.  Every frat boy who knows nothing about gaming still plays Halo.  Halo is a pretty casual FPS.  Not that that is a bad thing.  It has been a hugely successful game because of that.  Tons of people have played the games for hours on end, and I am one of them.

Very true, but many people in these and other forums seem to think that FPS games are supposed to be played only by the hardcore... Not true at all, when I was in high school there was this group of guys (including me) who often went to a nearby Internet/Games café to shoot a couple of rockets at each other in Quake 3. FPS is not a hardcore-only genre.

@TheBigFatJ: I don't notice the auto-aim that much, maybe because I'm playing the game differently (I more or less suck with dual analogs). I'm more annoyed by the framerate slowdowns, particularly in boss battles.
