There isn't anything movement wise that you can't do on a regular controller. Obviously it's harder to aim but nothing is stopping you from jumping, sliding, and reloading. All the buttons are there and no one is forcing you to use default mapping or buy a new controller. 


Yes there is. Today i saw a PC player 'zig-zag'-ing in the air while jumping. 
probably jumped with a button and spammed the 'a' and 'd' buttons on the keyboard. This is just one example of  the limitation of the controller. It needs time for the controller to go from the left position to the right position. On the keyboard when you press one button you already achieved the movement. It's like telling the keyboard player: you can only use 1 finger on your left hand. Then he would have to lift his finger from 'a' then position it over 'd' and then press it. Much slower right?  Aim assist is absolutely needed against good PC players. Even then, mostly I don't stand a chance. Sooooo...get rid of crossplay. 

And: NO I don't want M&K on my PS5. 
I want the controller experience i had in the last 20 years in BF titles. 

Today played BF1 and BF5 on my PS. Full lobbies, no crossplay. Everyone will be fine in their own world.

    @JOGAGATYAKeeping things like they were would be cool but I think connecting xbox and ps5 would be even better idea. Of course if networking does not benefit one or other platform.

    But I'm sure about one thing - controller experience should not be endagered by letting PC players on console servers.

    And please do not make aim assist like in COD where controller is superior because aim assist is like aimbot. In Battlefield aim assist is absolutely fair.

  • I have not played for a couple of months because of this crossplay fiasko. Have played yesterday and today and have now come to a conclusion, i have deleted the game and will never ever play it again. I have played every BF that have been released, a proud swede as i am. But i will sit this one out and hope for a better next game. So [Removed] BF2042

    You sure that's possible in 2042? Lol. Not that I don't doubt you. But if that's possible how is that limited to mouse and key? I can do the same thing on controller with movement mapped to the D pad. If I knew the trick to such a glitch.

    @Agent10_Alex I don't know how would that work with the D pad. Then you lose the ability to use the left stick? You would have to use the D pad to walk around?
    Also: it would be very uncomfortable to play like that on a controller. You have to let go of the controller grip with your left hand and use your left index and middle finger to spam left and right D pad. Doesn't matter how we look at it it's not the same as doing it on a keyboard. Combine all that with the precise mouse movement and clearly it's two different categories not belonging together. Nothing wrong with either, they just shouldn't coexist within one game.

    You would use D pad the same way you use the stick. On Xbox it's parallel to the stick you aim with. You bind your D pad to the stick.

    If I could buy a controller with only one stick I would.
