Re: Xbox Population Dead?

@gF0rce14 There is very little to no hackers so far in the game .. So yeah the most poeples with aimbots are consoles aim assist . So if you say the " xbox " lobby are dead its because you are among the only one who want to play without crossplay on .. Most poeples want crossplay with all platforms

No ones should be blaming others for their personal lack of skills or patience ...

I hate hackers and there is definitly very little hackers in BF2042 SO FAR .. it happen but almost never so yeah ... Enjoy your empty lobby filled with bots and few other like minded ppls

@Stew360 I posted evidence that player count has no effect on matchmaking for last-gen consoles - you can find a Hazard Zone match with literally no other teams to play against. DICE is blocking next-gen consoles from being able to play with crossplay disabled.

@Stew360 I immediately get tired whenever some ignorant on a forum claims aim assist on consoles is the same as aimbot on pc.

@VOLBANKER_PC @Stew360 as one who plays Battlefield on both PC and console I can say that claims as to the amount of hackers on PC is vastly over inflated on social media and in 2042 it's been far less than I experienced in BF5. What I have noticed is that a lot of the suspicious deaths I've had while on PC are from console players which makes me think there's some issue regarding added latency from console players having to go from XBL/PSN to the open internet for cross play (just a theory I'm not a network engineer). I don't generally have this issue with other PC players and I only have Xbox One X and PS4 Pro so I haven't played against PC players on console but when I play on one console with crossplay there is a similar issue between platforms but it seems a bit less exaggerated when it's just Xbox vs Playstation.

Regarding aim assist on consoles it's not that bad in 2042 and definitely not Red Dead or BF4/1 levels of spamming ADS to get onto target faster.
