if you play with a controller and have a M&K user in your party you get put in mixed lobbies... i know this splits the playerbase but according to some posts a lot of console players would like to plug in M&K
You can only cross play based on input just like fortnight has for the past 2 year!
You either use input based matchmaking or don’t bother at all.
To say the game is being held back by consoles is ridiculous lol the ps5 and series x are more than powerful enough and probably have more grunt than most peoples pc’s on here!

The consoles are at a locked refresh-rate (i think 60Hz) and PCs can have varying refresh-rates, yet the server tickrate is locked on 45Hz yet at times it seems to run worse then BF4 servers with 30Hz....
i do not know what causes the game to feel so bad but i wouldn't be suprised if the console-versions especially the old-gen consoles are bottelnecking the ever living heck out of what DICE can achieve..- 3 years ago
Should the next Battlefield game be console only? A big fat NO.
Battlefield began on PC and the best aspects of the franchise are a result of PC clan-centric teamplay.
If they make a console only version it will be used as an excuse to dumb down and push the direction of the game closer to CoD.
Its already been like that for a while, but this would happen at an extremely accelerated pace.

Furthermore, playing against PC players increases the skill ceiling - I used to get top 3 every game in BF5 / BF1 / BF4 with little effort on console.
Now if I get top 3 its because I did some wicked [Edited by moderation]
The aim assist was totally stuffed when the game came out but if anything they have compensated too much and its too easy to get accurate shots with aim assist - I have to turn it down to get head shots.
They should just add mouse and keyboard support to console, have crossplay and non-crossplay games indicated with an icon so both are visible at the same time on server browser and avoid the previous gen consoles for any future release.
