Hii ea can you tell us if bf 2042 will support m&k ever?And if you can in the launch because i won't play the game with controller i really can't even aim so please give us an answer when you will make it possible.And thank you very much

@CyberDyme I don't see how XIM and adding M&K support are related. If anything the number goes down if the developers add this support. People automatically assume that if M&K support is added to console then people will plug it in and dominate controller games. But that's not what we are asking for were we? Fair thing to do would be to put us in a crossplay lobby (might as well call it a PC lobby at this point) and every problem is solved. We consider controller user's concerns so why don't you guys consider ours? This single minded mentality and not coming up with a compromise from the opposition is what's frustrating about the whole situation.Potentially facing cheaters or toxic people in a lobby is a valid concern for people who use M&K support (if it's added the way we hope it is) but it's our own choice to make. You think people who are requesting M&K support aren't from PC and used to this already? This is our concern to have and controller users shouldn't be bothered with any of this. They should still have their own 'level playing field' lobbies. You cannot make the choice for all of us. Everyone is different and prefer different things and I really wish people understand and respect that.Also a GPU costs more than a PS5 so there's that. I can never dream of buying a PC with the money I have. My GTX970 PC cost more than my PS5 and a PS5 is obviously more powerful.Also COD and halo have this support. I believe COD just dump their playbase into a single lobby but (oddly enough) it has been successful so far with far less complaints. Battlefield can implement this support in a better way and I doubt anyone will have an issue when it finally is added.

@CyberDyme I play on xbox and i want the option to use what i comfortable with as like the pc gamers can use either controller or mnk so why consoles gamers can't that's the point

Just cancelled my pre-order on Xbox series xNo mouse and Keyboard support no buy, FULL STOP.I don't give a crap if other players think wrongly being able to use a common input method that is an established standard for FPS games as they prefer to use a whatever piece of garbage comes with the console. It's 2021 these consoles are just souped up Pc's I want to be able to choose the input method I want to use on the game I have spent money and time to play. If you don't like it move to China.

@CyberDyme @CyberDyme what is wrong with more options for console? People use what they like to use and play with PC players and everybody is happy. PC cost is very high nowadays and not worth it. XIM is cheating because you are now inside controller only lobby and I don't want to use cheating methods to play the game and ruin other peoples experience. But if dice add this support themselves they can control everything like which opponents they get and it will reduce cheating in controller lobby.

Why would we play cross play with PC if we cant use a keyboard and mouse on console, so I would like to be able to play with PS5 players ONLY then on Xbox series _ not PC.

@badhunter99 it's already been confirmed in an official post that M&K on Consoles will not be supported at launch, but they're still investigating this and trying to make it possible in a proper way it fits in.

@badhunter99 probably nobody will or can answer you that question early enough to still pre-order it.

If they say it won't be at launch, then you probably won't know earlier and therefore it would be too late to pre-order then. 😳

Just thought you didn't know about the already shared info, sry.

@badhunter99 ,
The answer is: Buy a PC to game on instead if you want M&K for your gaming.
Situation is that Sony for sure has observed the onslaught of cheaters plugging in their crappy modded controllers, their script cheating mouse and keyboards and what have you. So the PS5 has been setup to use encrypted communications between each controller connected and the PS5. Reason why old modded PS4 controllers does not work on PS5 for PS5 games. And reason why immature plug-in cheats like XIM and Cronus for M&K cheats does not work either on PS5.
Personally I applaud that, as dropped the PC gaming years back due to the totally infested and toxic environment there for MP games.
The consoles are to ensure a level playing field and the integrity of the game platform and the games being run.
It should not be a question about who can afford the best and latest cheat that dominates the game.
Yes, I am sure we will hear a lot of complaints about this.
Complain about the cheaters, that drove it this far. Not me.
