@Blackidus Battlefield is a competitive game and is defiantly not a sandbox game like you mentioned before lol. A sandbox game are games like arma, Minecraft, even gta is a sandbox game. Battlefield has set objectives that need to be achieved in a set manor to win a game, and that goes for pretty much all game modes.
Input based matchmaking is worse. You're now pairing PC players using a controller with in the majority of cases a huge hardware advantage up against console players. These PC players will have an overall smoother game, higher frame rates by sometimes 100 fps, less latency, and in some cases less ping. Try and explain how that is a solution to a problem. Jackfrags also done a video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJHHbC6O7DU) on this showing the massive aim assist that you gain if you are a PC player using a controller.
Sure you can argue that ultra wides also give a similar advantage but again, we are talking specifically about input methods I don't know why you keep bringing this up. It's like you're running out of things to compare with.
If game developers choose to allow console players to use Keyboard and mouse then great for them. Does not change my stance on if I still think it is cheating or not. And I can comfortably assume that this is also the stance on probably 80% of the console gaming population. It's not enjoyable sneaking up on someone then being turnt around on in 0.1 seconds when it takes you 1 second to perform the same manoeuvre. Thats just one example of numerous different occasions where there is a huge disadvantage for controller users coming up against keyboard and mouse users.
@SF-TebagginsNo Battlefield is not a competitive game, its a MP sandbox, the developer sais so themselves. There are no ways in the game to view leaderboards or a competitive matchmaking system like CSGO, Siege or even Fortnite where you have Social and Competitive matchmaking. BF relies on third party websites to check your in depth stats. And there are no official Tournaments.
Heck even Fortninte have their own tournaments and still allow crossplay in their Social games.And yes i´ve watched Jacks video, and Stodehs and I still think input based matchmaking should be there. That´s the players choice. Different hardware, ping, screens and all that is allways a problem on PC that will never be an even playing field. I would be happy to get 30-40 FPS in BF2042 and that puts me in an dissadvantage against players with high end PC. That´s why competitive games have tournaments where all players use the same PC setup.
If you are a console player and only want to play against controller users then do that. Halo lets you choose to only play against players with controller if you want, NO one is forcing you to play against mouse and keyboard players. Halo also prevents you from switching between inputs while ingame, you cannot cheat the system by switching mid-game, you have to restart the game to switch inputs.
If I want to play on console with mouse and keyboard I would have no problem going up against PC players, thats to be expected if I want to use a mouse and keyboard in my view, its about player choice.
And as mentioned above, how about steering wheels for racing games and joysticks for flying games, is that cheating too?
Racing games are best played with steering wheels, flying games with joysticks and FPS games with mouse and keyboard, its only fair that all plattforms should be able to play games with the best input suited for their games.
