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 ...

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

Spoiler

@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.
