Cross Play with PC
I play on PS5 and I am just really struggling to enjoy Battlefield 2042 against and with PC players. Specifically speaking I am having a hard time dealing with people who play on keyboard and mouse. ...

They also abuse the "sliding to avoid bullets registering" when they encounter you. It really seems like there is no real skill required on PC and its all just a bunch of pseudo-hacks during play to get an edge in the game.
I notice alot of the PC players hop around the board during the game and slide all over the place. If this game goes on Gamepass there will be more than enough PS5 and XBOX players to turn off crossplay with PC.

How can you tell if you see a player model that it is a PC player (me wonders)? Maybe those are Console player sliding.

As you already know each player has an icon on their profile when they kill you, etc. that shows which platform they are on. You get shown who killed you after your death and can therefore see what platform they are playing on.
- @DuaneDibbley Going across the map like this: crouch, slide, jump and then while in the air the player spins 360°. That is a PC player.

LOL -- I am a PC player and I definitely DON'T do that. And most of the player I see on the Battlefield don't do that as well.
Sometimes you come across a player that does 'wild' movements, but most of the time I'd consider this lag or something else netcode related and not intentional movements initiated by the player. The only benefit sliding around might bring is if you slide around corners where the enemy is expecting you and aims at your head while with sliding your head might be in a different/lower position so she would have to adjust aim and you land some bullets on her before she can do that. Yep that's definitely a PC hacker doing all of that.
Even the PC Gamer magazine apologized for all of the cheating PC gaming brings to console spaces.

- @Hezek1yah Yo, performance for this game was so bad and the population remains so small that I don't think anyone is actually making cheats for it. There's no money to be made creating a functional cheat for 2042 with only a few thousand players playing on PC.
- @DuaneDibbley You can remember the name of the player and then look in the players of the lobby. Each player has a PC, PSN or XBOX icon next to there name. Also If they kill you the name and logo of the player shows.
