Bought the game last week and tried to play but theres only 1 server with around 10 players and 100 AI. Later, just enabled crossplatform and found some servers but its pretty bad play against players with mouse and keyboard, it takes out all the fun of the game... I just want have my 2-3 hour of gameplay per day with no stress but this way is hard to have some pleasure playing this game. Besides the slow soldier movement which is a bit bad too the game looks fine but this crossplatform thing is ruining the game, that PC servers are taking out almost all players from xbox and playstation from console servers.My suggestion: leave PC player base alone and create crossplay with consoles only.... you guys can create servers with 128 players for PS4 PRO, PS5, XBOX SS and SX, and 64 player servers to PS4 and XBOX but enabled to PS5 and new XBOX to play with.and.... we dont want play with mouse and keyboard... I already control a mouse on my computer about 8 hours a day for work on my desk, at the end of the day at night I just want to sit on my couch in front of my tv and play with my controller like I did about last 5 years and like the game was since 15 years ago to 2021.

@Ai-Fluffy "Doesn't that suggest to you crossplay is popular?"No, not in the slightest, this is a grossly inaccurate misread. It suggests that players have all been pressured into turning on crossplay because it's the best/only way to find full matches, or in some cases matches at all. Because the game's population is in the tank, and some regions struggle to even fill a single match with cross-play on.

Sorry console players but the console community wanted this crossplay and virtually screamed for it!myself and many other pc players told you numerous times that be careful what you wish for!

Just give us the Apex Legends crossplay arrangement.Matchmaking Pool A: All console players using controllersMatchmaking Pool B: All PC players, regardless of input. Console players with KBM.Parties with mixed Pool A and Pool B players play in Pool B.

@GuTOHGT You need to get your facts straight here mate. You say PC players wanted this? What “suggestions” did PC players supposedly make that resulted in this abortion? PC players had nothing to do with EA and Dice choosing to force all the different players onto the same servers so they could save money. Don’t be laying blame on PC players. Ask EA and Dice why they force players to turn on cross play, don’t be looking at us as the bad guys here.

Consoles player base are destroyed by crossplatform with PC

What region are you?
You then say you enabled crossplay and found populated servers. Doesn't that suggest to you crossplay is popular?

"and.... we dont want play with mouse and keyboard."

No, you don't want to. Many console players are more than a little annoyed that this hasn't been implemented.

@Ai-Fluffy So you should play on a PC...

or at least create a restriction to mouse and keyboard servers only.

Keep in mind that big changes like these were never needed because the player base of BF4, BF1 and BFV was always great on playstation and people have a traditional way of playing and that has been destroyed.

We dont want radical changes like that, the developer should stop wasting time listening to so many suggestions coming from PC gamers and just make the game as it has done until this last one.

mouse and keyboard is a advantage in my opinion, BUT The biggest problem is when you face PC players, you face a TON of cheaters and that makes it even worse.
dont worry the PC player base kills itself with all the cheaters as well.
I have never played a FPS on console before ( online ), but I would never even try it if i was forced to play vs pc.

@DrunkwoIf Man, I haven't been playing recently but are there even actual cheaters? I deal with them in BFV (which is all I play at the moment) and they're obnoxious, but I've come across only 1-2 cheaters in my time playing 2042. Most are just very good players on PC who use mouse/keyboard to their advantage.

Yea i have not seen many cheaters either.
I remember reading an article about cheat websites refusing to make cheats for Battlefield 2042, because the code was to buggy lol.

@Pantleon Ye, that was shortly after launch. I'm not sure how it's changed since then, I don't browse cheat providers, but I imagine there's still not a ton of interest in making/selling these cheats on PC given the fairly small potential customer base. Not really worth the effort unless their tools already bypass the version of EAC 2042 uses and they can get one working with minimal effort.

There are not a ton of cheats in this game.
No one plays it.
BFV has been the only BF game I have played with an access of cheats as DICE dumped the game.
