Next bf

Some type of better matchmaking for lobbys probobly based on KD.

Start the game with consoles only xbox/ps and then have the option to cross-platform with pc and you will more then likely keep lobbys full rather then killing a awesome game. No one that I know wants to play against pc players and your aim assist in an attempt to balance it out is garbage everyone I know turns this off as it hinders more then helps.

I walked away from bf2042 because of being dominated by pc players 85% of all my deaths are from pc players and always at the very end of the scoreboard but if im lucky to find a game going with crossplay off which is rare im always at the top of the leaderboard and gameplay seems right.

Its almost like this game was intended for pc players as the edge that they have usually will dominate any console player.

Look at all the lobbys are still full in all other bf games and bf2042 is a awesome game but yet for this reason pc players killed this game and drove people away thats why most all lobbys are 0 with crossplay off and only way to get a match is to play with pc players.

great way to beta test this is put matches up pc vs. Consoles and see who would win most of the time.

If you think mixing pc players and consoles work it does not you just have the pc players dominating all the console players on both sides.

    What I like to see in next BF game:


    Server browser.

    Persistent servers.

    Ability to team switch.
    Flinch effect when you get shot.
    Suppression.
    Proper explosive splash damage.

    Proper movement mechanics.

    Peeking.
    Service stars.

    Field pickups or squad supports. Even behemoths (For example, an aircraft carrier that reduces aerial vehicle spawn time by %80, or an AC-130 that can unleash hell)

    Class locked weapons.

    Destruction.

    Bullet deviation.

    Naval warfare.


    What I don't want to see:

    SBMM.
    Crossplay.

    All open no cover vast maps.

    Mini map spotting.

    Shooting while jumping.
    Traversal sprint.
    Clown skins.

    Third person melee animations.

    Airsoft like gunplay.

    Crossplay matchmaking wouldn't be so big hassle if it would be input based. Server rental and browser allows admins to decide what type of input they would accept on their server. Official server matchmaking should be divided by input preference and crossplay on/off settings. These preferences should be requested before entering first multiplayer match.

    Right now if i turn crossplay off, i can't find a single match on the west coast. 
    Imagine if i further divide those 2 people that were looking for non crossplay match by ticking 'input method' also. 
    When crossplay is an option in a game, eventually everyone turns it on to find a match quicker. Even if it is OFF by default. 
    Thinking about the situation, looking for a match 'by input method' could work even if crossplay is on. I think the vast majority on PC would use a  mouse and players on console would use a controller . 
    if that is correct, we don't need crossplay to possibly introduce some networking issues and complicate things.
