We Need Input Based Matchmaking System
Just look at Halo. Why would it think about the issue and you guys are just ignoring such a serious problem?
I know that cross play is a trend but there would still be lots of ways to make console ...

@ragnarok013 I don't understand why you think inputbased matchmaking is a bad idea just because you play on both PC and console. I suspect that you play on PC at least 90% of the time and enjoy the easy kills of console players. I have virtually no aim-assist when playing Battlefield 2042. I recognize that in COD for example the aim-assist is over the top strong but in 2042 I have absolutely no aim-assist 90% of the time on Xbox series X. My k/d has been dropping since the time Xbox servers died due to few players.
@lionking7001 one simple reason, I am ardently pro-cross play and input based matchmaking is the opposite of cross play since it segregates players. I'm curious, how you would implement input based matchmaking, I suspect you'd want console people playing with MKB to be matched with PC players, but what about PC players playing with a controller would you match them with console players, and if yes would you re-enable aim assist for PC controller that DICE recently removed? How do you solve the long standing issue of people on console using zim or cronus since when the system sees those input devices as controllers when they are really MKB? How does that course of action solve the MKB vs controller matchmaking issue satisfactorily when the root issue of unfairness is still present with cronus while reducing your matchmaking pool?
I see a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth about playing against keyboard users but no real solutions that wouldn't harm the game. With 2042 having record low player numbers for a Battlefield game at this point in its life, and people here on the forums frequently unable to find matches with cross play enabled at different times of the day cross play is probably the only reason the game was still semi alive before the last patch. The fact of the matter is that console players choose to leave cross play enabled because they don't have an issue playing with other platforms like some of the posters in this thread seem to have, and that is why Xbox only servers are a ghost town.
Regarding aim assist, it's still present on console so you should have aim assist in 2042 on Xbox. If you don't have aim assist 90% of the time submit a bug report in the bug report section.
@ragnarok013I would submit a post in the bug report if I actually believed that someone at Dice would read and react. For now I have stopped playing the game. That is also a good solution for better wellbeing

@lionking7001 the CMs report important issues to the studio weekly so they will see it.
