I played FPS for over two decades on pc and console but never experienced such an unfair playing field as in bf2042.M&K the far superior input method for fps and it baffles me that console is not able the same input method or at least play the game with crossplay off.....Apparently for some people in some regions it's working but for me and several others the matchmaker doesn't find any sessions.(btw a server browser would be a solution).Bf 2042 has many issues but from a console players perspective the unfair playing field is by far the biggest problem and a huge turn off to even start the game.I am curious where the demand of pc & console crossplay even came from....pretty sure it wasn't from the console community....does anybody know?

I don't know any PC players that have trouble running the game.... not sure where you got 90% from. It's less taxing on the hardware than BFV is for me....although I can run both just fine.

@Jozso987 Idk where pc players are getting this aimbot on console argument. Aim assist is completely broken and doesnt work

@Nutcrusherr my friend you have a very poor argument here , go and play on console and see the struggle for yourself , pc players have a huge advantage over console players .

Is a bit dumb that they would implement crossplay without allowing keyboard and mouse for consoles.

M/K support on console would have been nice as well, but input based matchmaking would by far be my prefered solution.

@Getier 90% of the PC playerbase can barely run this game, and you're crying about m&k when you have base aimbot for controllers? Lol.

@Snakebite6x6x6 Sure. I can run BF5 on High graphics at around 80-100 fps, while 2042 barely reaching 70-80 on full LOW, and it's stuttering like crazy. Sometimes my VGA runs in 0%, while my processor is 100%. :D But, sure you can run it fine with the horrible mouse input.

Pc is poor poor performance for me
And apparently console no ain't assist
And can't find a game for 5+ min with cross play off
Let's all agree this game is busted, after 100 hours IM really wishing I could atleast get reimbursed for testing the 2042 alpha beta

@Psubond Where i get it from is when you console folks do the quickest snap i`ve ever seen and kill me, even though i started shooting first from your rear left. No way you can turn that quick and be that precise. I`ve tried to play with crossplay on many times, to see if anything has changed but always end up with this kind of experience. Thats why i turn off crossplay, we have some aimbotters already, no need to suffer from your aim assist as well.
