Keyboard and mouse on consoles
Does the game have native support on PS5 for keyboard and mouse ?
Forum Discussion
I love how Dice post is about “Fair play”. And the. Immediately states PC group you can use the input of your choice, M&K or game pad. Counsel players you only get to use game pads.
Fair, right?…..
whelp not much I can do about it, but vote with my wallet and not buy. Shame, it’ll be the first BF game I haven’t bought/played since BF 2. Maybe they’ll get their collect heads out of their bums and get it right in time for Bad company 3 or 2142 2…
I totally agree with mouse and keyboard support.
For me, the best option would’ve been to make next gen consoles play with each other innately, and disabling cross play would be just for PC users. Instead, I’m sort of stuck with either just PS5 players (which might have issues with player count) or with cross play, where PC players, besides just M&K, have a distinct advantage.
I'll post what i posted in another thread as primarily a PC player.
How do you primary console players equate M/KB support with fairness on your platform, when i'm guessing a good majority play with controllers?
I get that M/KB is better (and in this thread, i'll leave the chronos/xin bit out) for FPS games, but it's a pretty decent advantage over controller users in most cases even if aim assist has evened the field somewhat.
I really don't have a problem with people wanting M/KB support and prefer playing FPS games with it, but if it's a question of "fair", then it seems somewhat obvious why they might have chosen to nix it for the time being (as others have said, it might get added later) seeing as quite a few, if not most console players will be on controller.
I'm mostly curious because of the large amount of console players who want to opt out from pc (which i get), but on the flipside want m/kb support even if all it does is skew balance severely even if we leave out other ways it would get even more unbalanced.
(imo, those options are no better than aimbots on PC to be fair and i'm not suggesting that's the primary reason people want M/KB support on consoles).
Anyone?
@Fringerunnerfirst of all: Not every MnK user is as precisely as a pro. Many good gamepad users can compete with intermediate MnK players - I can see this in CoD myself.
And regarding "fairness" you won't find this in the open wilds of BF public servers with its massive skill gap between all player types.
Those types can be beginners on BF, beginners on FPS games, beginners on gamepads - which may apply to one player all at once.
On the other hand you have experienced BF players, experienced FPS gamers, experienced gamepad users - which may apply to one player all at once.
Especially on consoles this is a major issues. You have so many players there, who finish rounds with 100+ eliminations.So, even without MnK support on consoles you don't have any kinda of balance / fairness.
DICE needs to establish some skill based key figures e.g.accuracy, TTK etc. to balance things on the servers / deny players to butcher beginner servers etc. ...already posted it before in this thread.
After that we can talk about FAIRNESS. Because under this circumstances this word is nothing but an empty jar.
