@TankerFlankerAgreed. I am confident they have tuned the gameplay since the Technical Playtest… despite it not being a focus of that playtest.
@1Hairy-Gorilla I agree that not including those inputs seems… short-sighted. However, KBM for consoles is still not as common as you might think and there was a time not too long ago where that was not possible on consoles at all (at least not in an official capacity)…

One of the key side benefits from keeping M&K blocked from the consoles is that it is the best methodology to block the usage of most of the hardware script cheats that mainly is the only way 'cheating' is possible on consoles. If only the console works with the standard gamepad/controllers plugged in for the gameplay, then it drastically limits the option for using those devices to 'enhance' the player's capabilities beyond what is truly possible humanly on a std controller alone.
I personally hope this block will stay in place to keep a level playing field, as intended for the console world to be.
And not a question about who can afford to pimp his/her console the most with gadget plugins and what have you of shady stuff...)
(all while I do recognize the M&K option is enabling players with various disabilities to also play the game on console, as otherwise hampered or not possible at all.)
@CyberDyme If that's the reason Dice belive then o boy lol.
Them strikepacks and cronus doesn't rely on KB/M for scripts...
If BF had Bloom then no recoil scripts wouldn't work...
@Its_Travis_199 Are they really open to feeback as everywhere you look ppl want console only crossplay not with PC... <This is make or break for me after Warzone. Its simply not worth it.
@1Hairy-Gorilla i really don't know if they just don't want to make it possible to just Opt-out from PC and stick with only Xbox and PS on New-gen as it actually is on Old-gen too.
Or if it's so hard for the Team to make two ways of Cross-play.
I saw for sure many people requesting it, also myself would like it as i'm on PS5.
But all we know and can say so far is that it's been confirmed that there would be either Cross-play ON (which means All-or-Nothing) or Cross-play OFF and stick with your Platform only.
That's how it'll probably will be at launch, and we can just hope as see if feedback and requests from the Community can make it change later on.
Greets,

@Its_Travis_199 If its not out by launch it's never getting removed/changed to late and to much hassle post launch imo. All I can think of is this is EA as crossplay just being tested a few months back, its $$ looking at Warzone nevermind the players experience. I mean they say they will listen but with fingers in ears I guess ☹️
They have the perfect game and setting in Apex but ignore it for Battlefield?
