Console players - voice your opinion on crossplay with PC

So here's my opinion

For me it destroyed the game. I play old gen version on Xbox and its much funnier experience. I dont accuse PC players of cheating. Its quite rare. The problem is faster input device + better framerate. In many cases its more than 120fps.  

So if there is no console only crossplay option (among others) I wont buy the next BF.

MnK on consoles? Okay but with PC. I want my console experience back! I'm used to play on controller. 

Dont tell me there is no advantage for PC when I feel it. Old gen version is an easy mode in compare

    No news yet as to whether K&M will be allowed on Console. I'm sure that will be the next discussion point.

    From my perspective, have been playing Sniper Elite while I wait for BF6 to launch. The Crossplay lobbies are infested with (I think) aimbots and wallhacks. Not very enjoyable for Console players. The Console-only lobbies (when you can find one) are fun and sweat-free. I can't really tell who is using K&M or controller.

    I know that there are plenty of players who want only Controller players on Console. One solution is to give controller users aim-assist, and K&M no aim-assist.

    K&M users don't have aim-assist, thankfully. That's only for controller users. In order to keep cross-play fair for all, it should be input-based match making only. This is what most seem to agree on, and I do as well if cross-play is to remain in the game. 

  • Consoles have an advantage. That is, they have aim assist. PCs are certainly intuitive to use, but they don't have aim assist. Also, I think that currently many game titles are developed for consoles with a large number of users. As for cross-play, cross-play is efficient when you consider the cost of maintaining servers.

    Mouse and Keyboard should have been discussed by now if it was going to be implemented. The game is supposedly releasing in the Fall? The devs never talk about adjusting the aim assist, other than making it "feel better" for controller players, never about the balancing of it. How many times are we going to go through this cycle? MnK was mentioned as a possibility ages ago for the last game, but then no follow up. There's some lengthy threads on here asking for it. BF6 is in the later stages of development, right now being polished up, and game loops finalized. No way are they even thinking of adding MnK to Console at this point.

    To your point about PC lobbies being infested, most lobbies are crossplay, with console players making up the majority in my area. Controller players consistently top frag with ease. I've played games in my past where you could report cheaters to the devs indirectly, and then watch them get added to a list of shame for cheating. I personally reported several cheaters that were ultimately added to that list. You can tell when someone cheats because there's something not human about either their movement, predictions, or aim. Console players feel like cheaters to me, it always reminds me of how it felt playing these cheaters back in the day. Franky, aim assist today would have been considered a "soft lock" a decade ago for most PC games. Now, it's just common place and people have come to expect controllers SHOULD be able to compete with a Mouse. Which is absurd. 

  • Cross platform pla depending on input device (controllers alone and keyboards alone). 

    Or if easier, just no pcs with consoles 

  • if they force console players to play against pc players i won’t buy the game. with 2042 they didn’t even have the decency to tell us before release, i expect this time won’t be any different.

  • There should NOT be a toggle at all for crossplay. More and more people turn crossplay on to find matches quicker and it is a chain reaction. The result after 2 months: can't find ANY matches with crossplay off on PS5. Crossplay is cancer.  It has no business being in fast paced games like Battlefield.
