console vs pc players...is it fair?
Having been a xbox player for years , and never a pc gamer, i was always worried when i heard that bf2042 was going to be a cross platform experience. I have noticed, and please believe me this is no...
Forum Discussion
Agree that this ignorance from Dice against console players is frustrating. In the 4.0 update they have improved aim for pc-players but no working aim-assist still on console. Not on my Xbox series X at least.
How have they improved aim for pc players?
- @Pantleon Apparently mouse input has been fixed, at least insofar as the sensitivity settings now map properly with previous battlefield games. Others on reddit/etc have said that gamepad play seems better though, I play on PC so I can't comment one way or the other on that.
@SilverSurfer67 I think that it could be better for console players. A fair amount of time though, I am killed with someone that is on PS/Xbox so I won't say it is impossible. I have played FPS games on PC since the late 90s, so while I'm getting older I will say that I have a fair amount of muscle memory from playing these games with a mouse+keyboard to be pretty good at it.
I think that kb/m support should be on consoles for sure though, many other games have enabled it, so it isn't like it can't be done. But I'm worried that it would cause an issue for folks that turn crossplay off then grouse about getting beat by someone else on the console that is using a kb/m.
This leads down the discussion of matchmaking based on input, while possible, there's still ways around it to have it show as one and work as the other (on console and PC).
Fortunately, I guess, the game isn't nearly big enough to have a big 'hacking' scene. I think in my 150ish hours I may have seen one cheater, or maybe they just glitched in the game (people can be invisible or under the ground, etc) @PantleonOfficially they have reverted the mouse settings/fov to mimic older BF-games. This means that you can use the same FOV and mouse sensitivity as in older titles.
But it seems like more than that, the mouse seems more responsive now.
The mouse now "feels" like BFV/BF1/BF4
- @lionking7001 Have you figured it out? I have crazy aim assist. So much I had to lower it down to 70. Iit would drag if another player was close. I keep the snap to 100. It’s not a bf4 snap on but it’s pretty strong for me.
I challenge any pc player to plug in a controller and tell me with a straight face it’s unfair….the aim assist is beyond ridiculous
I am all for a little aim assist but come on this is comical
- @50hnooo In one out of ten engagements I have some noticeable aim-assist otherwise absolutely nothing. It's more like anti aim-assist. Virtually impossible to keep the aim at enemies
Since launch I haven't had too much difficulty with crossplay turned on though long range sniper fights and the semi-rare ace pilot can be a little annoying (I try my best to avoid those anyway)

I have hundreds of hours in bf2042 and never experienced it once.
