Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
The only real issue I have with this is how strong aim assist gets when this happens. Playing a very limited amount of cod it almost felt pointless playing, the assist was so strong. I know you can always turn it down but you feel like an idiot when you know you are the only one in the lobby that has done it.
Double checking: it's still possible for us PC gamers to opt out of playing with console gamers, right? My CoD: BO4 experience with console gamers wasn't great and I rather play with PC players only.
@infantrypeasantConsole users can opt out of crossplay which pretty much everyone will do. Which means most (if not all) of players in a crossplay lobby will be PC. Putting M&K console users with these players should make sure that there is no disparity between the inputs the players in your game use and shouldn't affect controller user experience. Also this ensures crossplay doesn't go to waste.
@A_al_K_pacino_A Controller aim assist will pretty much be the same regardless of whether or not there is M&K support for consoles because crossplay will still exist. I do not think they two are related.
XBOX SERIES PLEASE.
"Hey EA,
Huge fan of the Battlefield franchise (even though I didn't play the last two because they were absolute 'trash').
As a longtime veteran of camping in tanks right outside my team's spawn, I feel that you should pay extra special attention to what I have to say here.
So hey listen, my K/D is garbage and I need a new way to 'pwn the noobs' that doesn't come from actually playing the game on a level field/developing my skills, so I was thinking you could just give me K&M support on console. I know I could play on PC, but I don't want to get my * plowed on a daily basis by legitimate PC players. And even though this would give me a distinct advantage over other console players, it's necessary because I'm physically unable to use a console controller (despite owning a console). You see EA, I got this condition: I can only play FPS games with a K&M, my hands just don't work with a controller, like I tried to hold one the other day and it just fell through my hands (I have similar problems using TV remotes and cooking utensils). So make this change for me or else I won't be buying your dumb game. I only get so much money for my birthday each year and I simply can't waste it on games where I can't cheese the competition."
God bless/help you- Most of you rn
I think M&K support for consoles should be added in a way that doesn't victimize controller players. If controller users opt out of playing with M&K then they shouldn't go against them. The best way is to put M&K console users in a crossplay lobby (against PCs) and deny them the option to opt out. They will be prone to going against cheaters but it's no different to what PC players experience. Using M&K does come with a price and it's something only the user should be willing to pay and not anyone else. If I use M&K on consoles I will do so fully knowing that I am prone to cheaters. No one else should take the bullet.
Trust me we'd rather not play with you either. PC gamers are a different kind of "special"
I checked the beta FAQ but didn't see anything about mouse support. Guess we'll find out during the open beta.
For the the Next gen console players opting out of cross-play. Expect a pretty empty server space.
Don't forget the install base of Series X and PS5 is still pretty low. Basically 11 mil on PS5 and 7-8 Million on Seriesx/s..
Out of those not many will buy and play an online MP shooter like BF2042. So perhaps a few hundred thousand across the world. Then different time of day playing and regions.
Could be pretty empty servers or very high ping.
Console controller players get aim-assist etc. Didn't seem to be any issue with Modern Warfare crossplay, controller players held their own pretty good in that game.

LMAO, I completely understand. As some have the AMAZING THUMBS full of aimboting cheats. I play games on pc and on my ps5. I know the pain. Hang in there and your mouse reaction will get better......
Jelly PS5 player that has no mouse and keyboard support and my THUMBS do NOT cooperate with my eyes.
