@TheseusJasonCrossplay HAS to go. What is the benefit for Dice to have this in the game? What is their argument for having it? Low player count? Some kind of revenue? They need to launch the next game without crossplay for sure. Looks like it is to blame for most problems. Probably netcode had to be adjusted because of this, so ultimately the problem is crossplay.
Edit: BF players never had crossplay before this game. We all know how BF gameplay should feel. It is different from previous titles in a bad way for sure.

@JOGAGATYA fully and wholeheartedly agree with you. Top of my wishlist of 'features' to be abandoned for BF7. I've no idea what the rationale might have been for it?... My guess is to support 128-players mode? Remember DICE bet heavily in it, so much so that, as you know, maps were designed around it—turning out ultimately to be vast, dreary, empty spaces for walking and sight-seeing.
And frankly, out of all possible nightmares in store for BF7 the worst one is that they may actually keep crossplay on. Based on two statements:
• in the last EA earnings call Andrew Wilson mentioned (paraphrasing) "one truly connected ecosystem" for the next BF title. I read PC + Consoles all in as one.
• DICE recently advertised a job opening looking for someone "to improve the controller experience". Why so relevant now?... Because everyone's complaining of the discrepancies between M&K and Controller...?
If I were a betting person I'd say odds-on crossplay is here to stay.
