Re: EA Play announcements thread

@westtunna @CompleatBeet we shall see what the future brings, who knows?EA/Respawn have been very responsive to player feedback and cross platform progression is something I see suggested quite a bit on the forum. 

I think cross platform progression is going to be a tricky one to accomplish for a lot of reasons. Some of the big ones I see..

Merging the data, when they set up cross play they can set up servers/lobby that are dedicated to cross play and allow players from all platforms to log into that server/lobby. When it comes to accounts on xbox, PS or origin the data for your account is stored/saved on that platform. So it's quite a bit more then just accessing a server to play in/on. 

There is some room for players to abuse this type of system. Play 2 accounts up to level 500 than attempt to merge the progression of the two. Each account would have unique cosmetics, a large portion of which was gained for free from leveling up. So now you have a situation in which a player is has basically doubled the amount of free premium content they have received. 

So if they were to do something like this, they would have to give the player the choice of the cosmetics from 1 account or the other but not both or limit it the merger of the accounts to only being stats/badges.
