PC Players, its time to turn cross play off

As the title says, its time for PC players to opt out of Dice's failed cross play experiment. As long as they coddle consoles with reduced recoil, sticky aim and snap aim, their is ZERO hope for PC. Currently, if you have crossplay on, you won't show up for crossplay off gamers.

Join the revolution, let the babies have their bottles, and let's show Dice what a PC gaming community can do together in a fair fight. Aren't you tired of being fodder for Dice? We've learned we can't rely on Dice, let's rely on each other. 

If enough of us do it, it will work, I've tried and it will join us in servers.

  • One good use of turning off cross-play is to find the mysterious radios to unlock the Norland weapon charm. It's a little Easter Egg hunt. Set up hosting your own server (it's free) with cross-play turned off and put the the associated maps in the rotation. See the weapon charm at the bottom of the weapon charm page for details. I don't type so well that I want to spell out the maps. Here's a hint the "mysterious radios" are probably not what you think. Now you will have the maps to yourself to explore and find the radios. There's 3 on each map. 

  • @ATFGunr I do agree with you somewhat; I am finding out very fast the game is a real bust without it, it's very messed up on many levels, this game can be epic but not with the current silliness, from the top down.

    Is it politics or a lack of talent?

    @2c5e591fbf8739d8 It’s not talent or politics, it’s the inability for Dice to make these different systems work together. I have no issues with consoles or console players, although having had them and played them I have to turn VoIP off as I don’t want to hear a 12 year old yell the N word repeatedly. My issue lies with the inability for the systems to work smoothly, and with the disparate systems offering a benefit (PC with M&K) having to be compensated (Consoles with controllers). Who decides the level of compensation needed? Should an average console player be able to laser an excellent PC player because the game makes it happen? Should an excellent console player suffer because an average PC player (that’s the group I consider myself in) because his equipment costs more? Do consoles need recoil reduction as part of that compensation? Will they ever fix the mouse input? How many times do I need to hit R to reload? Do consoles have input issues? I hold Dice 100% responsible for all of these issues. The biggest shame is the low pop makes it extremely hard to find games in AOW.
  • I think  the talent is just not there, or if it is there it's intentional or a big experiment  on the consumers dime.

    sipmle... just enable mouse and keyboard support for consoles like it was advertised before launch, and as the BF competitors has..
    I remember the launch date when consoles players were complaining of getting shredded against pc players, and now that is balanced, the pc players complains...
    jeezz...

  • @ATFGunr I am a player who turns aim assist off as soon as I get a new battlefield game and I do agree recoil is way to low on 2042 (even versus past titles such as bf1 and BFV) but PC players do have the keyboard and mouse which can be used as an advantage against console players (regardless if we do have the settings to match PC players mouse sensitivity it's hard with an analog stick to match precision if mouse). I will add that turning cross play off may make it hard to find games. I play on last gen (so no PC players at all 😁) and love the cross play with my Xbox one friends

    @Karen0202 This right here is what I mean. Aim assist always messed me up in the past when in front of multiple targets (it'll drag to the closest one slightly when I try to shoot at the one that's staring/shooting at me. So for us console players even the ones that use aim assist it's useless
