Re: 'Crossplay off' should be default

@UP_LordPlumberYes it would make a difference... For the moment 'crossplay on' is the standard setting when you start up the game. Thats why there are so little people on the 'crossplay off' servers, because you need to actively go change the setting. A lot of people don't bother to change it.

And the community was always split like this. If they want crossplay on they should take away the option. Right now they give you an option you can't use...

    @UP_LordPlumber Its unbalanced, as a consoleplayer you always have the disadvantage. Controller is slower in aiming, speed and accuracy, even with the aim assist.

    Its like bringing a knife to a gunfight...

    I'm on a PS5, I turned cross-play off on day one, I find plenty of games (though it can depend on the time of day).  I'd prefer an option for console only cross-play.  But that won't happen, I don't think DICE really care about whether a player uses cross-play or not.

    @UP_LordPlumberpeople are playing and having no issues? What rock are you living under?

    Almost all the most complained about issues are crossplay related. From the terrible hit detection especially between console and pc, to pc complaining about aim assit to console players saying aim assit isnt even working to the disparity between PC having better resolution, framerate and controls making the game unbalanced for console players that have a disadvantage in pretty much every category.

    Just because some better console players can adapt doesnt mean it's fair or ok. The bulk of the console population left this game directly due to forced crossplay and before you say it wasn't forced it was forced on Series console players as Dice disabled the crossplay toggle at release so we only had crossplay on it took them over 4 months to fix it and by then the population for Series systems was gutted.

    They don't bother probably because they do not want to do it.

    Pc players use no recoil macro/scripts etc and tbh no pc player should lose a one on one fight vs a console player.

    Those Pc players can also turn faster etc yet they still state console players have a advantage!!

    @Kona_uk Do they really? Really? They all use macros? There’s probably as many doing that as consoles using a Cronus for the same effect. Why are so many forum users so self righteous about their beliefs yet have zero evidence? Is the earth flat too? Cross play off offers players a far better gaming experience as the servers don’t have to try and compensate between so many different operating and network systems. The game is smoother, faster, more consistent especially in hit reg… all those are actual quantifiable reasons to have crossplay off.

    @ATFGunrAll the pc players i know that play games alot use macros on all game's thats why some mice have so many buttons.
    Gaming Keyboards have macro keys also.
    When a pc player can turn far more quickly than a console player then they have a game breaking advantage.

    @Kona_uk Then your friends are awful people. I have melee, grenades, and PTT mapped to my mouse, similar to your controllers having all the buttons. The majority don’t use macros in MP games as they’d be exploiting. Sorry to tell you, the majority of PC players don’t cheat. Want a surprise? Google who cheats more, consoles or PC. You might be surprised.

    As an aside. Cronous is not limted to console. It works with both mouse and keyboard and controllers on PC.
