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
First time commenting on these BF forums but I have to agree with the OP. I think the default setting should be "Console vs. Console crossplay only" and then have it so that players can OPT IN to "Console/PC crossplay" if they so desire. I think the vast majority of console players would be more happy with this.
Heck, I have a friend who plays on PC and I'd gladly stop playing with him if it meant I'm only playing against console players. Going back to BFV and BF1 is so much more fun for various reasons but no PC players is certainly one of them. The extremely large engagement distances that 2042 allows is one of the problems that Console/PC crossplay exasperates.

At this stage of the game's life, I wouldn't expect a change on this topic. Perhaps Console only crossplay will be one of the "goodies" in the new battlefield. Sad, but most likely true.
It's not that Dice doesn't listen to us - they just want to have as many tricks up their sleeve as possible.
Same with the server browser - they will make something "big" out of it by adding it to the new Battlefield, deliberately ignoring players' opinions for now.
For sure no console only crossplay in this game but we fight for the next game. On Xbox Series with crossplay off you cant even find 64p matches with all humans. You have to switch to the old gen version to get a proper console experience (but BF1 is still better). So for xbox pairing with PS is a necessity. At least in Europe. Playing against PC is pointless. Old gen vs current gen versions are two different games when it comes to enjoyment on gamepad.
