Summarize your bug .The game has practically no populated lobbies on PS5 with crossplay disabled. It has been horrendous for the last four days; my experience has been consistently disappointing. There is sometimes only one lobby available for Rush, and most of the time, I find myself staring at an empty lobby that never fills up. I refuse to play with crossplay due to the inherent disadvantage I face against PC players. This issue occurs frequently with Breakthrough as well, with most of my games consisting mainly of AI bots. It's impossible for me to enjoy this game when I can't even join a fair match. The solution is simple: disable crossplay by default with the option to turn it on. This situation is utterly ridiculous. I paid €80 for a game that has been unplayable due to this persistent issue since launch, not to mention all the other problems. I'm done with this game, and I doubt Dice will ever fix this problem because they prioritize crossplay, regardless of the consequences. In the end, it feels like a fraud, making me pay for a game where I can't consistently find populated lobbies without putting myself at a disadvantage. Kudos to Dice and EA for breaking my Battlefield-loving heart. I can no longer tolerate this greed, and I will move on to single-player games. What happened to the days when I could simply fire up my PlayStation and have some fun on Battlefield? It's frustrating and nothing more.
