I know that with the Call of Duty series, you get a little auto-aim help
when firing from the hip in that the game just corrects the bullets
path. If you shoulder the weapon, or aim down the sights, or what ever
else the game has, it would snap the cross hair to the target. Both of
those are options that can be disabled per player. And both are disabled
in online-multiplayer, much to my annoyance.

You can get used to a joystick control. It's not impossible, it just
shares nothing with the skills used when using a mouse.
