Crossplay is Unfair
You have Addressed the console native Mouse and Keyboard support in saying you aren't adding it at the release of battlefield. You have stated that you want the battlefield community less divided yet...

The *only* solution is Dice must enable mouse input on console. Just like COD you plug a mouse into the console the matchmaking only places you in crossplay servers, you cant play in console-only servers.
Don't tell me that another solution is to turn off crossplay. Dice sold a game with a promise that crossplay is a feature and console mouse input is enabled. They lied. Therefore, there's no other solution. They must enable mouse input. I didn't buy the game that advertised a crossplay feature and mouse functionality only to disable crossplay because Dice doesn't want to keep their end of the bargain.
Dont stop asking for it until they enable it.
@BaronVonGoon Only that isn't going to help when there's no input based matchmaking. Not everyone has a setup that's going to allow for mkb play on their console, so if that's all they do then everyone with a controller would be even more SOL than they are now.
Not only that, but they also promised that you would be able to disable crossplay. The way it's done on Xbox right now might as well be considered forced crossplay.
Edit: Oh yeah and let's not forget about the cheats that are already making the rounds on PC. No amount of input based matchmaking is going to stop that from happening, and crossplay means console players now have to deal with it. Consoles need an option to not play with PC, there's no reason for there not to be one.
- @Velcro_Snickers I dont play COD often but if you played recently the system they have isn't input based matchmaking. It's simple, you plug a mouse into the console, the game treats you like a pc player. In other words, the controller is now disabled. You do everything with the mouse and keyboard including traversing the game menus. You hit deploy to join a server, the game only places you into crossplay servers with pc players. That's what they promised on their preorder page. That's exactly what thousands of us are asking for. They're not reinventing the wheel. No input based matchmaking required. You plug a mouse into your console, the game algorithm says to you say goodbye to console-only servers.
@BaronVonGoonYou just described input based matchmaking... but I never heard any mention of that being their plan leading up to the release.
And like I said, that doesn't stop console players from being exposed to cheaters.- @Velcro_Snickers that's fine if you hadn't heard mention of it but it's a fact that they discussed console mouse & keyboard support on several occasions this year including developer tweets. The cherry on top is the screenshot of the xbox preorder page for the game listing console mouse and keyboard support as a functionality for the game. Someone has the screenshot posted on page 1 of this very thread.
Additionally, they had already starting working on it. In the beta you could plug in a keyboard into your console and move your soldier using the keyboard and browse the game menus with it.
