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...
I hope they do too, mostly because I am tired of the constant bitching and whining about it from the console guys, every other day there is some new thread about it or about these mysterious god-like "super-powers" you acquiree merely by using a mouse and keyboard.
And how do you figure a PC is any easier to use than a console that has reduced recoil and aim-assist baked into it?
True, to an extent but I don't recall nearly as many threads started by PC players calling to end cross-play.
That being said I agree cross-play should be off by default and something you should have to opt-in to, I don't think anybody is really all that happy with the current setup.
@Ironhead841Gee.. and 100% of threads complaining about Aim Assit are PC players just like 100% of complaints of input lag are PC players.
Why would PC players complain about crossplay when they have all the advantages. Better framerates, higher resolutions, better controls.
But boy oh boy do PC players complain when they think console players have imaginary aim assit. PC players were complaining about console aim assit when aim assit was massively hindering console players.
The difference between console complaints about crossplay vs PC complaining about Aim Assit is at least console complaints about crossplay are grounded in reality. Console players aren't making threads about imaginary Aim Assit doing all these imaginary things. All console players have pointed put is that you cant have a balanced game between PC and console. Unless you massively buff console or neuter PC. So it's best to separate the two.
Unless you as a PC player you want to limit your self to sub 4k scaling graphics, to sub 60 frames per second and forced to use the same input method. Hey if you're willing to lose all your advantages and play at our level then I have no issue with crossplay.
Ya there are a lot of things Dice screwed up on out side of crossplay. Such as upping the player and map size but not upgrading the server tick rate.. it's still the 45htz tick rate as before but double the player load making for awful server side issue. Its why there are so many issues of hits not registering to what appear to be intant deaths to getting shot around or through objects and terrain.
They need to split it by input devices. The platforms are irrelevant.
MnK should be an option for consoles, which would enable crossplay and disable aim assist.
If PC is playing on controller, MNK is disabled.

No but there is a very long thread about aim assist in which pc players incessantly moan about it.
I think the best thing to do is have console play with console and pc play with pc. Some genres crossplay between console and pc is fine. Imo it has no place in FPS. If they insist on pc and console cross play then it should be opt in not opt out
