@Adamonic You summed it up super well. They have ample time and opportunity to learn from the mistakes made with 2042 if they choose to listen (no bets on that). Crossplay has to be an option, not a requirement. PC players think consoles have an advantage, and vice versa, the only fix is to revert to crossplay off as default for whatever game they make next. It’s a failed experiment as they suck at it. If they’ve adjusted a mouse to be worse just to provide consoles with an advantage rather than give them M&K ability, then they can kiss my grits. There’s a growing group of crossplay off players for the PC and the game players pretty smooth as long as they’re in region. So many lessons for Dice…

I think that we have seen that there are server-side mouse settings from the last patch. I can see no other reason there would be these settings unless they are trying to make console players even with M&K players and that really bites!

Cross play off should be the default setting but here we sit with this monstrosity.

And they still haven fixed the mouse mushiness.

So sad.

@sk1lld I hadn't read about the mouse settings server side until Anobix's comment earlier. My mind is still a little blown tbh. All we can do is express our displeasure with our wallets with the new game. Pre-sales should be the first sign that all the players are sending a message. Let's hope that both parties (devs and players) make smart choices for the next game.

  It definitely is the worst BF in the franchise out of the titles I've played (BF1942, BF3, BF4, BF1 and BFV).
  
  I think @Adamonic summarized it pretty well. The whole specialist concept is completely out of tune with what Battlefield used to be, and solely implemented to sell cosmetics. Meanwhile the lack of proper content (Maps, weapons, vehicles, NOT SKINS) at this point also makes this title the worst in the franchise. Just give us back premium and seasonal DLC with 4 new maps and other content, I'll pay for that, I won't pay for any cosmetics!
  
  I have switched crossplay off at PS5, and that should be a default for any platform! That experiment failed miserably and crossplay should only be an option to those who want to play with friends on different platforms. Otherwise everybody should be kept within their own eco-system to keep things fair.
  We need a server browser and persistent servers that play a map rotation, not this quickmatch principle currently present in the game.
  
  All in all, I will not pre-order or order the next BF at launch. Only when user reviews after launch are positive I will buy.

    You nailed it 100%. 👍
    I would welcome the return of the Premium Pass, worth every penny imho.
    I play with crossplay off PC.
