Console Only Crossplay
As a long time Battlefield player, since BFBC on xbox in July 2008 all the way until now, this really needs to be implemented. The advantages of PC vs Console are clear as day, I can't see why you can't add the option into the game?
- They have higher framerate & better graphics
- whole arm to flick mouse to instantly 180 you in 0.5ms with pin-point accuracy the second you shoot at them in the back (don't see controllers doing that)
- better movement with keybinds, evident by the nightbird on 2042 (didn't see console going 90-0 EVERY game) as-well as the constant crouching, sliding & jumping combinations (oh okay okay fine, ONE player on console could do this that I saw, but he was cheating... oh)
- better accuracy with a mouse vs controller thumbsticks
2042 was a massive let down by forcing crossplay against PC, i played the last 2 years on 2042 & was met with countless cheaters & moments that had me typing "ofc it was pc" in global chat. The OCE console community was non existant, so you couldn't turn it off & find a game.
Personally, I can keep up with the majority of the top PC players, because I've been forced to play against them, but I can't imagine casual players would enjoy constantly getting beamed across the map by SMGs or instant 180'd on every time. It's funny, the usual players on PC who abused movement/vehicles on 2042 were - on BF6 DAY 1 - posting images of 50+ kills with 0 deaths, showing the entire opposition being console, what a surprise...
This clearly hasn't worked the way your team intended - I know you think it's to keep the games populated, but it's killing the console community across the board. If i turn crossplay off, I get into games that half 5-6 players and the rest bots, but I can leave that game & re-search & instantly get placed into another lobby that's the EXACT SAME situation? 5-6 players & all bots. The matchmaking with crossplay off is completely broken, servers aren't persistant & you find yourself lucky to find a near-full game just for it to roll over to the next lobby with 3 other people... then back to an empty lobby.
Console Only Crossplay NEEDS to happen.
