I'm leaning toward ps5 for BF2042. Sony let's customers disable crossplay in the game menu. I might go Xbox if Microsoft let's us disable crossplay in the game menu too.
Definitely not going PC. I've had enough of the cheaters.
Also XIM probably won't work on ps5, so at least everyone will be playing with a controller on Sony's console.
Unless there's native mouse and keyboard support, which I hope there is. I prefer mouse.
@OskooI_007 Seen that a few times about Xim and co not working on PS5 but why do you say that? As far as I know these devices "fake" the input of a controller that's plugged into it? Maybe them strike pack crap wont work as its a different shape.
If I got a PS5 I'd buy it there, but got a series X and either going to get last gen or gamepass edition. As we know MS wont allow us to disable crossplay Apex/Warzone/big team modes in CoD.
Have they even said they going input match making as that would help a bit, CoD = anything goes and I'm sick of being the only console player in lobby vs KB/M users on PC.
@1Hairy-Gorilla Sony encrypted the firmware and USB signals to the ps5 DualSense controller. Sony was allowing the ps4 DualShock controller to work for a while on ps5, but now they're locking it out and requiring game developers to only support DualSense 5 with haptic feedback.
Sony wants to make big money by locking out 3rd party controller manufactures so the only place to buy a replacement controller is from Sony.
@OskooI_007 They did that to force you into buying a DS5 hehe. Xbox pads are encrypted and it doesn't stop Xim there :S If that's the right term they did something different to the USB protocol. BTW like I said don't own one yet but DS4 can be used for PS4 games on PS5? Unless things changed in the last 4 months.
@TANGO_TX no recoil is nothing vs aimbots, wallhacks and ESP lol. anything else is made up click bait junk 🙂
@1Hairy-Gorilla You're right Xbox controllers do have encrypted authentication, but the DualSense 5 controller encrypts firmware, buttons, and analog stick signals.
So there's no way for the XIM to 'fake' a DualSense 5, because the ps5 will only accept encrypted button press signals.
XIM on Xbox just passed through the authentication signal then sends unencrypted button presses.
The end result is Sony can lock out all controllers, XIMs, Cronus', and macro script adapters like Titan 2, and 3rd party rapid fire controllers.
I'm actually considering buying a ps5 just because it's such a cheat free environment now.
Saying there are no cheating in console is not true. I have seen mods that allow cheating in consoles. It may not be as bad as PC, but grant you its there. What reaklly gets me is if EA/Dice banned accounts those suspected of cheating, they would make a bunch of money resale those games again.
