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… ...
Forum Discussion
In Oceania region there isn’t enough players to launch a 128 player game without crossplay.
Crossplay doesn’t work (console players are disadvantaged anyway) and EA DICE were crazy to split PS4 and PS5 community due to PS4 lower tech. Makes the game useless - no games to play !
- @Passdogs_dad They simply do not care. That's it. As long as Youtubers have fun and talk good things about the game they are okay with it. They haven't said a word about console only crossplay. I live in South America and I've never found one single match with crossplay off.
PS4 and Xone are screwed. If aim assist is bad on ps5/Xbox series, the old gen has the input delay to make it worse. Here’s the choices n small Oceania region :
1. Enable cross-play in the game get totally hammer by all PC players op vehicles op Helis and op snipers and not enjoying the gameplay at all (endless killed and respawn loop)
or
2. Turn off crossplay and never get to play a match of any mode including portal 16x16 players retro games
No choice really - delete it and never play again ???- @Passdogs_dad I have the exact same experience. It's frustrating. There's a lot of post on this forum like this (asking for crossplay between consoles only) but DICE simply don't say a word.
@IM1sfiT__ Console only crossplay is the thing I'm hoping for most in this game so we have more full servers without having to play against PC users. DICE hinted at it when they were talking about the technical playtest but I don't know if its ever been confirmed.
To quote the article:
"Cross-play in Battlefield 2042 beyond the Technical Playtest
We are still building cross-play functionality, and the first opportunity for us to test it with a wider, invite-only group will be within the Technical Playtest. Right now, we’d like to give you an understanding of what we’re looking to achieve as final functionality beyond the Technical Playtest, so here is an overview of what you can expect that to look like:
- PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5 system (PC and console can opt-out from playing together)"
Take from that what you will, but I take it as being able to have the option of having crossplay between consoles only. If anyone has any recent information on this topic from DICE that I have missed please share.
I'm no dev, but it may be simpler to add input based servers, since COD has already done this. Simple is probably a stretch though, I doubt this is a quick fix to the game. PUBG has crossplay between Xbox and PS only as well. I think that input based servers would be best while adding K+M support for consoles. That would make everyone happy and solve two of the most talked about topics on this forum.
- @Passdogs_dad Same here in Brazil. I stopped playing and will be back when I can find a game with crossplay off in Xbox, or when they add crossplay only for consoles.
When can we play Xbox with consoles?
If you're not going to do that, give me a refund.
- @Passdogs_dad The lack of non crossplay servers has nothing to do with player population. The same waiting for new players" bs is plaguing every region including eu and na.
100% this game is unplayable in Oceania. I was getting PS5 only games of AoW prior to the 3.1 update, now nothing. Couldn't even get a lobby with the new 64 player conquest maps last night.
Exactly my problem totally agree
