MOUSE AND KEYBOARD FOR CONSOLE/CROSSPLAY
I wish EA would add M&K support for consoles when crossplay finally comes out. Console players should not have to invite a PC player on their squad just to turn on crossplay. Console players should ...
Forum Discussion
Yo, I haven't checked this thread for a while and I'm surprised about the discussion happening here. Let's keep it healthy and respectful! 🙂
Firstly, Apex Legends made a good development on their own version of crossplay mechanics by only activating it once you have a squadmate who is on another platform.
Actually, I also wouldn't like controller players to be forced in playing with the same lobby as those using m&k, vice-versa.
BUT IF THE PLAYERS ARE FINE WITH THIS THEN: (AGAIN)
My suggestion is just give console players the option to play on M&K where they will actually be put in the lobby of those players who are ALSO using M&K OR those controller players who chooses to have crossplay activated! In this way, controller players who don't want to go up against M&K or has crossplay turned off will not actually be forced to play against crossplay lobby. They will simply be just put in a controller lobby where everyone will be using controllers.
I am only suggesting this since crossplay is already confirmed and coming out soon (Oct 6, 2020) and I want players to have liberty on however they want to play the game. (especially on console since there is no M&K support, while PC supports both)
This thread is not a debate on which is better, controller or M&K. Both parties actually have something to say about each other that is why an option of crossplay is needed. You can even hear pro PC players complaining about controller's aim assist and laughing at controller players looting while standing up static. Also, APEX LEGENDS competitions allows controller players to go against M&K.. Daltoosh is a controller user that goes against PC players in competitions and he's a predator at PC lobby so i don't see why people complain. If you prefer controller and good at using it then you already have an advantage. Players shouldn't be forced to play controller on console especially that crossplay is coming out.
If there really is an enemy of console players against PC, then those are the cheaters which is everyone's enemy and a different discussion.
ALL I'M ASKING IS M&K SUPPORT AND AN OPTION FOR CROSSPLAY THAT YOU CAN EITHER TURN ON OR OFF (ON BOTH CONSOLE AND PC!)
I'm somewhat confused as both of your statements here conflict against each other;
Players shouldn't be forced to play controller on console especially that crossplay is coming out.
ALL I'M ASKING IS M&K SUPPORT AND AN OPTION FOR CROSSPLAY THAT YOU CAN EITHER TURN ON OR OFF (ON BOTH CONSOLE AND PC!)
On one hand you're saying controller shouldn't go against controller (even though that's what was intended with a console) but on the other hand you're saying add a m&k support yet also allow the ability to turn off crossplay. This would make it so you are using a keyboard against just controller players, which was the opposite of what Respawn are trying to do.
I believe Respawns vision of leaving controller vs controller is the best option. Controller vs M&K is because of the same graphical quality/refresh rates available via pc, which you can't do on console until ps5 releases (even then it's only really capped at 144hz). In the industry we're currently in the process of creating monitors with 1ms, 144hz (which can be overclocked to 165hz), and at least 2560x1440. Only once this is done will it make it a more even playing field when going against M&K vs Controller
@MoNosDirtyGamingDewd I said players who are using M&K should be automatically be put in M&K lobbies (together with those controller players who has CROSSPLAY OPTION turned on) separated from controller players who don't want to play against them.
That's why I said there should be OPTIONS so players won't be FORCED because they can easily turn the options off. You get me? That way no one will complain.
