I don’t see this happening unless the game becomes crossplay.

using a mouse and keyboard on console is classed as cheating on pretty much every game and is actually a permanent ban for some games. This is due to the skill imbalance created by using a mouse and keyboard compared to controller. For example, aiming dead zones and speed are significantly slower on controller. And fluidity of movement is significantly slower on controller again due to the joysticks dead zone and speed.

if you want to use mouse and keyboard, play pc. There is no reason to be using mouse and keyboard on console. Plus if you already have a mouse and keyboard then you already have a pc I’m guessing.

I do not see what the problem is. COD has been a success! Today there is a community that accepts playing with friends of different controllers, whether you are keyboard or hand controller. I would think that this should already be evaluated by former COD director Bryan Beede !. 🙌

    @SrMaybe2042I think many people who use a controller when playing on console are worried that if DICE allows the use of M&K for Battlefield, then the game will become unfair as the M&K players will be much better able to control their character than the players using a controller.

      No, look, I don't see it like that! Today, if I compare it with the gameplay in COD, the hand controllers have native aiming assistance from the game, which balances the game between the players. there are even communities in DISCORD between the two M&K and command controls. Even today we see that many play on PC with a hand controller, because they feel comfortable! and the great competitive players mostly play with handheld controllers. At least that's what I see from my perspective towards the new experiences that COD has offered, and it's not even a problem today.😉

        If it can be done in a fair way, I personally would be ok with it 🙂

        Btw. perhaps many people who use a controller are worried that if M&K becomes allowed in Battlefield, the next step will be to introduce crossplay with people playing on PC.

    @SrMaybe2042 Your opinion is just that, your opinion. And I don't agree with it myself either. And you don't see what the problem is? Have you not seen all of the problems MW has with warzone. Between CoD and Battlefield they're very different kinds of players.
