Split Consoles form PC's
I know it may be an unpopular opinion and that it may not take effect in 2042, but they should split up PC's from consoles in the next game at least if they are going to keep cross play. The spec dif...

@UP_LordPlumber I think the difference is that AA was in the games from the beginning, however they did not play against PC, only each other. 2042 is the first true cross platform in the series, where next Gen consoles and PC all play together. As we can clearly see, it’s a mess and isn’t working. 2042 started out with consoles at a reduced level, (either by accident or on purpose only the devs can say) and so we all got used to it sowkring a certain way. S2 brought a major tweak to it, and it was immediately noticeable for PC players who now get melted by consoles who don’t miss. If a PC player had the advantages that consoles are fed, we’d accuse them of hacking. Aim assist, snap, and reduced recoil? Who wouldn’t want that? Now add to that the atrocious desync the game has, and it’s not really a lot of fun. Unless and until Dice resets PC to turn cross play off, PC players will never find a community to play with that are equal. Giving consoles M&K would be a good start, but now thousands of console players couldn’t sit on the couch, and they paid for that privilege and should not have it taken away. Anyway my earlier point was about the inability of the netcode to sync all the platforms and I stand by my opinion.
I hope they do too, mostly because I am tired of the constant bitching and whining about it from the PC guys, every other day there is some new thread about it or about these mysterious god-like "super-powers" granted by aim assist.

Look at the statistics. I have triple the hours you do, but you outperform me in HS% with a lot of the hard to use smgs with a controller! I’m using a super light x on a 20” mousepad with low sensitivity. I sit at a desk with a low latency monitor.
Some of my base accuracy is probably off a bit due to pre-firing, shooting out windows constantly, and other nonsense. I literally have to run extended mags on everything and drag my crosshair back and forth to find people’s hit boxes. Aim assist takes care of that for you.
If controller players think aim assist is nothing, try turning it off for a week. I promise you that your stats will plummet. I’ve watched pros struggle hard after turning it off and perform very average.
Whenever I look up stats, it’s almost always console players having higher accuracy rates than MnK players. That’s just not right.

My 122 kills with the K30 isn't a meaningful sample size; that's a junk data point.
For our most used SMG, the MP9, we have identical HS% at 20.3%..
Here's what those stats also say.
My MP9 hipfire kill% = 2.9%
Your MP9 hipfire kill% = 21.4%
You go for hipfire kills 7x more than I do, yet we still have the same HS%. Yet you claim this as evidence that Aim Assist is out of control in favor of console?
Further I'm probably an outlier among consoler players. I've been playing the franchise for 20+ years. I trade everything for accuracy control. I run low sensitivity. I run the minimum FoV. All my attachment choices are for accuracy. And as mentioned I rarely hipfire. Compare my accuracy stats to the next 5 console players that kill you; I'd guess mine are better.
Let's look at another stat. KDR between BFV and BF2042.
I went from a 2.8 KDR in BFV to a 2.09 in BF2042
You went from a 3.16 KDR in BFV to a 5.14 in BF2042.
And yet you are claiming to be the victim of crossplay?
Just split the consoles from PC. Neither side will ever see it as fair, the debates are just emotion and hyperbole from both sides. Have the last word.
- @AngrySquid270 Shhhh, don’t bring factual statistics into this debate 🤣
For real tho i just want Console only back… this whole Console vs PC crossplay experiment is a mess. And it’s not only the BF community complaining, I’ve seen it in the Halo Infinite and CoD community. It’s a disaster and rightfully so….,
The problem is Dice made this game that you're not even going to be able to realistically get into a MP game if it weren't for cross play. Active players is woeful from a numbers perspective

- @AngrySquid270 Yes the mythical aim assisted console player, lasering every opponent. But rarely, if ever topping the score boards.
Personally switched off crossplay months ago, the handicap is just too much. I'd rather wait for a server to fill and play with bots than go back!
Actually think this game would be better served with a team of bots you can control as your squad. At least they'd stick around and help!I’ve tried to play many times with Crossplay off since launch but never been able to find a match so it results in me being forced to play with it on.
I’m in Boston and on Series X and still nothing with it disabled 🤨
