Consoles player base are destroyed by crossplatform with PC

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 player...

"Bought the game last week and tried to play but there's only 1 server with around 10 players and 100 AI."

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 "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.

  No there are more console players. They are the ones with crossplay enabled.
  It would be PC having to use crossplay to find a match.

@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.

  Yes. I don't think any one would disagree with that.

  @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.
