Weaknesses:

  1. Very unstable servers
  2. Increased latency during fights
  3. Constant server shutting down
  4. Cannot disable crossplay on Xbox

@Pallo420 Servers seem to be better than they were a couple of days ago and I am sure they will get better as time goes on.
Also, you can disable crossplay on Xbox

This is from a community manager:
-Go to your Xbox settings
-Scroll to Account and click on Privacy and Online Safety
-Click on Xbox Live Privacy
-Click on View Details and Customise
-Click on Communications and Multiplayer
-Change "You can play with people outside of Xbox Live" to block.

    @IAmTheMeddler imo they should make controller only lobbies so that PC players who play with controller can join PS4/Xbox lobbies. And you aren't correct about PC advantage one of the best PC player and pred plays with controller on PC.

      @IronCannon31 You can't look at the few controller pros to make that point while ignoring the fact that the overwhelming majority of pros play mouse/keyboard. Also, it is common knowledge that PC systems are more powerful than consoles and it is much easier to precisely aim and control recoil on mouse. All of that gives PC players an advantage.

      @IronCannon31 I agree with the controller only thing. For some reason, tho, ever since they changed the armor values back to original me and my friends have not been having good games. We usually always get top 10 if not top 5, but once we get into an engagement, we get absolutely rekt... Just tried playing with my PC friend yesterday and it was more of that.

    Good luck actually getting a game if you do this though.

    Although the option to disable crossplay is in the menu, I do not think it does anything.

    I have had it turned off for a couple days now, and I am CLEARLY still being matched with console players. I can tell because their mic's are always active, as well, some of them send me a friend request which identify them as being on a console. I think the option in the menu either does nothing and just "hides" the icons, or it sets a preference but still forces crossplay if not enough games exist, or I think the disable function does not work.
