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. ...
PC player might have better aim control, yet you can move just like a PC player if you have a paddle controller using higher sensitivity. I really don't notice the PC players as and issue at all to be honest, using a paddle controller...
The only real issue I have with PC is the ease of playing with aimbots and other cheats, so it kind of defeats the purpose of playing console to get away from cheaters.
The other nice part of playing with console only is the fact you know it comes down to skill and sometimes slightly better connection quality as you are running the exact same hardware at the exact same frames per second. When you add PCs with console players, now you are competing with players with 100 plus frames per second, with the consoles stuck at 60 frames per second (or less as my Series X dumps to low 40s on Hourglass map constantly), and yes the pros run 200fps on $1500-$2000 graphic cards for a reason as they would get thrashed running 60fps.
Nobody seems to every talk about the advantage of an extra 100fps...instead the focus is mouse vs keyboard, yet look how many APex players are switching to controller on PC as there are some advantages, yet perhaps not so much with BF 2042 as the aim assist is trash to say the least, versus the aim assist in Apex.
I do agree that with a paddle controller you can have mobility similar to PC. But like you had mentioned, I came to console because everyone was supposto be on around the same hardware and everything was supposto be fair. I play on a standard controller and I stick to more traditional movements like sliding to a crouch stop and taking a few shots, I dont jump often, I dont crouch to avoid gunfire, only to increase my accuracy. I liked when everyone else was also using a regular controller with me. I do not want to haveto play in an environment where i need to buy expensive hardware just to be able to compete with the highest level players. I want things to be even for everyone so that the skilled players are on top and nobody has a big hardware advantage. Yes I can just buy a keyboard and mouse or get a controller with paddles, but thats taking away the whole reason I play on console.
