This game is suppose to be crossplay ... it is and it is not. PC accounts PUG with other PC accounts. I have yet to see any console players (other than my friends) in a PUG with me.
Consoles are not using hacks to the best of my knowledge. PC's might be using scripts and other cheats, if they are, they are only cheating themselves of an honest win.
If you are a PC player able to match with console, I would love to know how you are doing that trick yourself?
Besides that, the ability to disable cross-play on console is just a pseudo-option. You are not going to find games if you turn it off. And I mean that literally.
Console aim assist isn't what you think it is. If you see a console cheater, it's someone using strike packs, xim, scripts, etc.
For example, xim tricks the console into thinking a mouse and keyboard is a controller. Combine that with the given aim assist, and one could call it broken.
I know first hand what console aim assist feels like compared to PC, I've played both. PC gets .4 and consoles get .6. That .2 of a difference might not sound like a lot, but it is. It's like a walking magnet compared to PCs.
If aim assist topics interest you, watch that first video. It goes deep into some topics, most don't. Like the fact that aim assist is just people stuck on controllers, and don't want their product to become useless, so they say aim assist doesn't do that much or speak up when someone blasts it.
Also, my topic was't necessary about aim assist directly, but more on consoles connecting to PC servers and causing networking issues. So things like latency compensation, ping, Ddos stuff like that.
@Popa2capsthe guy on the video is misleading he says : "this is what aim assist does at its full potency of 1.0, it is safe to assume it does the same at lower value"
No it is not safe to say it does the same! at 0.6 the crosshair never track a target and is never on target if that would be the case I would never need to aim and would have great accuracy, the opposite is true I have thousands of hours of play and still have bad aim compared to a pc player.
It was given to consoles yes, but consoles don't have good means at mass community like the PC gaming community does. If PC was given the option to disable cross-play, most PC gamers would know about it and change it to their own personal liking.
@Popa2caps I know right? The option to disable it wasn't even in-game, I had to go into the Xbox settings. But even so, there was no point in it, as the game would simply not find any game. There was simply no practical use in it. So I wonder if that would have been the same for PC? But ok.
I might disagree regarding inputs. I also play both. I started with controller, then MnK some time later. And no matter how much aim assist is being complained about, I still totally prefer to play on MnK. Controller is just bad for me in every regard. That is just me I guess.

I also tried to disable cross-play on Xbox when it was released, but it took forever to get a game or never found one, can't remember. PC would be a totally different story though. I think most PC players would disable cross-play if given the chance and Respawn knew this, so decided to remove it.
Why else wouldn't the PC have the option?
Respawn knew most consoles having cross-play on by default was enough to make it kind of pointless to disable, but they couldn't do the same on PC, they had to force it. Either consoles joining PC lobbies get the same aim assist like PC controllers users or they get the option to disable cross-play altogether.
I honestly foresee a ton of improvements once Warzone 2 gets released.
Just wanna confirm as a Nintendo Switch player, No we do not disable crossplay. Unless we're in japan/tokyo servers, we play with crossplay on.
