Why is there no Console Only Cross-Play?
We should get console crossplay only so me and my friend can play together without being killed every 2 seconds by some xtreme fast pcplayer.
they have unfair advantages over console players… ...

Dice, there's no servers to play on in AU for PS5 with crossplay off. Constantly stuck in waiting for players screen to join before being kicked back to the main menu after a few minutes regardless of the game mode - this is beyond a joke for a online only multiplayer game
And before anyone suggests to just "turn on crossplay", that shouldn't be the answer. PC has a distinct advantage with accuracy and response times with keyboard, mouse so it's not a level playing field.
Remember Dice; you said:
"As a multiplayer-only experience, it's important for us to let you play Battlefield 2042 when and how you want,"
"AI soldiers are used for server-filling capabilities, ensuring your matches remain full, no matter your location."
so where are our servers?
I need help. I am on PS5, Brazil. I can never play with the crossplay off.
I'm desperate. I haven't played since 11/12
Thanks
I am from Brazil too and I am having the same problem. I cannot find any game if I turn off the crossplay. If enable 90% of the players are PC.
I am playing on Xbox Series X.
- @O🤭_PanZer @borroma31 @DanielRicciardo .... Me and some other players are trying to arrange a time to start a BF2042 AOW match with crossplay turned off here in South America.
We already have about 20 players, but we need more to be able to start a match. Let's try this. We agreed on a day and time and we all started the search at the same time.
I see that there are a lot of people who want to play without PC and without Mouse and Keyboard. What is missing is we organize ourselves.
Anyone interested, just add.

Thanks.
Eu e alguns outros jogadores estamos tentando combinar um horário para iniciarmos uma partida de BF2042 AOW com crossplay desligado aqui na América do Sul.
Já temos uns 20 jogadores, mas precisamos de mais para conseguirmos iniciar uma partida. Vamos tentar isso. Combinamos um dia e hora e todos iniciamos a busca ao mesmo tempo.
Vejo que existe muita gente que quer jogar sem PC e sem Mouse e Teclado. O que está faltando é nós nos organizamos.
Quem tiver interesse, só adicionar.

Obrigado.- @OSFabinhuu Hi Fabinhuu unfortunately I cannot add you because I play on Xbox series X but the idea is very good.
I am very frustrated playing with PC players because always I die in any confront and I am not a bad player. But yesterday I realized that with the PP-90 the things changed, I can kill a lot man no matter if PC or something I can kill using controller. It seems that the guns are broken in this game or something like that. Why with the PP-90 I can kill and with the others not, or does not hit or Hit but does not kill. Very weird.
In Portuguese:
Faz um teste meu amigo, usa a arma PP-90 e me diz depois se muda ou não seu jogo. Eu não conseguia matar ninguém velho, pior a distância. Com a PP-90 as coisas mudaram da água pro vinho. O jogo está quebrado na questão das armas certeza além dos servidores também com esse fato de não achar jogadores com Crossplay desativado.
- @borroma31 I think console only crossplay should happen. NOBODY wants to play with pc WE just DONT. I'm not holding my breath though it's funny because of this forced crossplay there going to lose so many players why cant they see this. They need to give us a console only crossplay option but bet they won't it's crazy forced crossplay wow
- @rizzo777 Hey hey hey, hooold on dude.. There is'nt any WE, ok? There's ALOT of console players who want to play WITH pc. Why do you think there are like 6-7 threads about mouse and keyboard support for consoles here? Bc we WANT to play with our friends and foes on pc, but FAIR! So many of us wants INPUT BASED matchmaking, you see?
Don't speak for "all of us", bc you don't- @White_NoaiM There is a we and yeah fair enough some people do but most don't and as for input based I'd be down for that but what I meant was wen I said we is moat console players don't want to play against m+k simple as that just look at warzone it's a * show.
I personally think there should be two lobbies. One is a crossplay lobby and another is a console-only crossplay lobby. This reduces the number of lobbies from 4 down to 2.
Crossplay lobby will have PC + PS5 + Series S/X. M&K support for consoles is restricted to this lobby.
Console only crossplay lobby will only have PS5 and series S/X. M&K shouldn't be allowed in this lobby.
I do not think a PC only lobby is needed as I have barely seen anyone from pc turn it off and there is no software you can use on a console that can rival PC cheats. So there's no reason for PC players to have this option. Even if they don't want to play vs a controller and the aim assist that comes with it, there will still be PC aim assist controller users so it doesn't change much for them. And similarly M&K for consoles doesn't change much in a full crossplay lobby because there will be M&K players regardless.
It may look like a weird iteration of input based matchmaking which it probably is but with a few tweaks to keep console lobbies clean. Just my opinion
