Cross-play - My Experience

As an Xbox player, I had the pleasure of being able to turn off cross-play which did the first chance I got. I have played that way until about a month ago when I reluctantly turned it on. What caused me to make the switch was the fact that I had to wait for games to start, like minutes. There were never enough players to reach the minimum and then fill with bots, which also sucks. Playing against bots all the time is awful, but that's another subject.

Now, my k/d has never been great, but maybe 1.8. In the last month of playing against pc and playstation folks, my k/d is now .87. I find it rare that I end a game on the positive. This is highly frustrating to me. I'm always about pto, but k/d is also important.

I guess the point I'm making is that cross-play sucks. From reading on the forums and elsewhere, it is no secret that all platforms want to either get rid of it or at least be able to turn it off. I've never wanted to turn it off more than now, but if I do, this game is dead for me. 

Anyone else have similar experience?

  • Well kinda im still holding on just fine even with crossplay on useally ending on positive im no god by any means my seassonal kd almost pushing 2 while the base kd is not that far behind that kinda tanked and is kinda stuck now since i pushed myself trough the bad weapon leveling system in seassons 1-2 i am strong objective guy myself as well but yeah if i had the chance of turning on like console only crossplay i would do it in blink of an eay

  • Trust me (On PC) I want to turn off crossplay as well. No disrespect to console users but the desync just doesnt make it an enjoyable experience

    Seriously. PC players are the worst to play against because they have higher FPS they have faster movements they can jump Sprint and turn all at the same exact time while us console players are left scratching our heads trying to figure out what just happened. turn off crossplay with PC players, give us a console matchmaking. Speaking of matchmaking, how is it I'm playing the exact same map four or five times in a row when I have all maps selected  This has been an issue since DAY 1 and almost a year later, no fix? 

  • I'd be fine with console Crossplay also. It should be an option. I will not play with PC players. Too many hackers and cheaters along with the obvious advantages.

  • What is it about playing with cross-play on that seems to make me die so much quicker? Is it mental? or is there actually something to it?

    Are there really that many cheaters on pc or have I just read/watched enough vids to convince myself they are rampant? I have seen games where one person dominates and seems to kill everyone in their path or getting railed from across the map but it isn't a bot.

    I also seem to die to low levels extremely quickly (like level 75 below). This always raises the "cheater?" question in my mind. I turned cross-play on again out of frustration but now I can't find games... like that was going to change. I've never wanted to quit playing a game that I really want to like playing more than BF6. It's worse than 2042 and that was a train wreck.

    Thanks for letting me vent! lol

  • Are EA trying to nobble Console-only play? The fact that Xbox and PS5 players are not combined, thereby reducing player counts on consoles, would indicate yes.

  • console players can use a bsseball bat and shoot across the map and get one shot kills. I hate crossplay. The handicap console players get makes this game not even as fun as older games like bf4. Doesn't matter how good it looks if you are getting killed from pistols from on top of a hill with a single shot from a console player.

    they give cosole a handicap because controllers are slower and harder to snap to aim.

    None of this would be an issue if we had a server browser.

    Turn off Xplay, enter your search parameters for the type game modes and regions that you want, save your search for future use, and instantly find matches with humans. I can do all that with BF4, BF1 and BFV on Xbox only and find a match this very second. Unbelievably, this is NOT possible in BF6.
