Unexpected vertical aiming

-Ground aiming and autoaim:
It often happens that your character is aiming for the ground or it is aiming in air for no reason (i mean there must be a reason but it shouldn't be the case).
For the aim in the air it is often caused by the auto aim which is much too capricious maybe it is also the case for the ground I don't know

We have two aiming modes: the new first/third person one that tries to rotate your gun to face the exact point you see in the middle of your screen, and the Alien Swarm top-down one that tries to aim flat but will aim up or down if your cursor is over an enemy. I'm hoping they're not mixing, but in either case, a demo would help me track this one down.

I think he reffered to the 2nd way. It's easy to reproduce. Very common when standing on jacobi 2 elevator platform. When a drone comes from ceiling, marine will aim at it. This is pretty confusing for players. Perhaps some weapons need this function. But definitely not gl (died too many times due to this unexpected aimming).

From discord discussion:

1st map of dead city campaign. Here u can see how bad is aim assist in game. If there was posibilyti to togle it in console would be awesome or put some range limiter. idk. At the start u can ssee a litle flich but then when standing still and shooting straight u will notice that at one moment char make almost 360 turn to shoot drone while the rest spray is just shooting above drones.

Another good example is citadel (last map of city 17 ) on the elevator
