Xbox Population Dead?

With the latest fix of disabling crossplay on the Xbox I was very excited to come home from work and play some games without having to worry about playing against a bunch of aimbots on PC. 

I haven’t found a game for 45 minutes now… GG Dice, you ruined Xbox population by not having this feature available Day 1.

Halo here I come.

    @Stew360 I posted evidence that player count has no effect on matchmaking for last-gen consoles - you can find a Hazard Zone match with literally no other teams to play against. DICE is blocking next-gen consoles from being able to play with crossplay disabled.

    @Stew360 I immediately get tired whenever some ignorant on a forum claims aim assist on consoles is the same as aimbot on pc.

    @VOLBANKER_PC @Stew360 as one who plays Battlefield on both PC and console I can say that claims as to the amount of hackers on PC is vastly over inflated on social media and in 2042 it's been far less than I experienced in BF5.  What I have noticed is that a lot of the suspicious deaths I've had while on PC are from console players which makes me think there's some issue regarding added latency from console players having to go from XBL/PSN to the open internet for cross play (just a theory I'm not a network engineer). I don't generally have this issue with other PC players and I only have Xbox One X and PS4 Pro so I haven't played against PC players on console but when I play on one console with crossplay there is a similar issue between platforms but it seems a bit less exaggerated when it's just Xbox vs Playstation.

    Regarding aim assist on consoles it's not that bad in 2042 and definitely not Red Dead or BF4/1 levels of spamming ADS to get onto target faster.

    Just turned off cross play, A lot more enjoyable flow. As for right now, don’t have problems joining in Europe.

    @DominickB3 I have both versions on my Xbox X. I find it much easier to find a 64 player game on Xbox One version, than Xbox X version. No problems finding a 128 player game.
