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…
please fix this

- @Autotitans Ooooor we can just have input based matchmaking? Problem solved
- @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
- @rizzo777 First off, thanks for the wonderful compliment, warms my heart.
Second, I understand that there are many ppl who don't want to play against mnk, that's why we advocate for a inputbased matchmaking. And there should absolutely be only console with controller lobbies for sure @lucky_dutch+1 I've been playing COD warzone for months on Xbox w/ kb&m, it's fantastic! It feels just like a PC you cannot tell the difference in game. I'm still terrible at the game and I get see destroyed by players on Console/ controller all the time but I'm able to play with my PC friends again without thousands of dollars spent on a new PC. I feel ashamed for purchasing BF2042 just assuming kb&m support would be there. I literally played one match on controller and gave up.. back to COD until they right this wrong.
- @White_NoaiM Input based matchmaking is a great idea. 👍
If you think 2042 they an have an unfair advantage you should try Halo Infinite Multiplayer against PC with Halos crazy long TTK, its even more evident there as multiple accurate hits become even more important and M&K destroy controller in that, and its been said crossplay will be locked on for the life of that game
Crossplay should be between consoles only

Sorry to hear that you feel you wasted your money.
It might improve in time but I think this is probably one of the games where you revisit it again in a year.
I don’t personally like the gameplay of warzone but they do handle crossplay very well. Controllers get a very strong aim assist that works well even at long ranges and all players have access to keyboard and mouse, if they prefer that.
Net result is that people play what they prefer and everyone is happy. Controllers probably have a slight advantage at shorter ranges with the aim assist but mouse is still way better for sniping. Rock Paper Scissors balance.
- @FG44141 I thought Halo Infinite had input based matchmaking?
