@FknHeadBangaI've had the exact opposite experience. Whenever a console player and I surprise each other, the console player nearly always wins. It feels physically impossible to win the gun fight. They get a head start somehow, don't take damage right away, and always seem to land head shots no matter where they're aiming on me.
Consoles are just proprietary PC's basically on a network. So it really shouldn't be a problem, but there's definitely something going on with how the different networks communicate. Like there's a delay.
On paper I like cross play, but in practice I don't know. It just gets frustrating to everyone when it feels like a death wasn't earned.
Hmmm.. yea something must be different in the communication between networks but I won't pretend to know what it is cause I don't know much about it lol. I wonder why my pc and console play feels so different. I without a doubt prefer playing PC not just because of the eye candy but my game play is so much better. That's the only "testing" I have done lol.
I hope they can find a way to get this game in terms of population to what was expected and people can kind of pick and choose who they are playing against.. the biggest complaint I have consistently heard is about Xplay from console players.
Also as a console / PC player it really sucks that so many hackers have tarnished PC players. That is one thing I haven't seen much, or at all on 2042 "that I'm aware of" but if you have one good PC player drop 70 kills with 12 deaths every console player is assuming hax and they get even more frustrated with Xplay.
Idk.. I think the only win would be an update setting consoles to xplay off and give them the option to enable.. but that could possibly alienate their PC audience if the numbers aren't right across all platforms. I don't want that to happen either. Maybe it is just a network bug that can be ironed out though.. for the love of God the one thing I hope they DO NOT DO is increase console aim assist. I had to edit some settings cause I couldn't aim down sights without it pulling to everyone on my ps5 and that made it harder for me than not having it lol.
