Crossplay on PC
Im sick of dying to controller players laserbeaming you from where the fk they are. Its extremely frustrating in Battle Royale especially. I jumped behind a guy, shot him like 15 bullets no miss with...

It’s not the console or controller players. Aim assist doesn’t lock on, it’s inconsistent as hell and usually does more harm than good. It’ll yank your aim off or stick to the wrong target, especially when someone crosses your sightline. Most controller players are fighting it or tuning it way down because it messes with your aim more than it helps.
I play on both PC with M&K and console with controller, and PC definitely has the upper hand. Most M&K players are cracked with laser precision, instant flicks, smooth recoil, and no slowdown. Controllers have their own problems like stick drift, input delay, limited range of motion, and inconsistent sensitivity. PC doesn’t have to really deal with any of that. And let’s be real, plenty of PC players use controllers too when it benefits them, so blaming controllers, consoles, or crossplay every time you get outgunned is just lazy IMO.
I’ve had those fights where it looks like I emptied a full mag into someone, nothing hit, and I’m dead two seconds later. That’s just Battlefield being Battlefield. Hit-reg, desync, recoil bugs, random TTK swings, it happens to everyone.
So there's no reason to not let PC turn off cross-play right? Also, that's a bunch of bull. Aim assist does lock on it's so clear and obvious. You also have less recoil and less bloom. Controller players pretty much have an easier time all around. It's simply not fair and needs to be fixed.
I’ve already said in previous posts that PC should have the same options as everyone else. If console players can turn off cross-play, PC should too. That’s fair, and I agree with that part. There’s probably some weird technical excuse they’ll never bother explaining for why PC doesn’t have it yet, but it’s still stupid that PC players don’t get the same options as consoles.
But saying aim assist “locks on” just isn’t true. It doesn’t track or snap to players like an aimbot. It basically creates a small slowdown bubble around targets to make fine aiming easier with a stick, but it’s inconsistent and often works against you. Sometimes it helps, other times it drags your crosshair off when enemies cross paths or stack up.
Recoil or bloom isn’t magically easier on controller. That’s down to weapon tuning and netcode, not some input-based advantage. Neither side has it easy with how the game plays right now. Controllers might have a small edge in close-range tracking because of aim assist, but that’s about it. M&K still wins when it comes to precision, reaction time, and overall control. Every time this topic comes up, it just turns into the same argument when the real problem isn’t inputs, it’s Battlefield being inconsistent across systems.
Cross-play would make way more sense if players had options to separate input types and platforms, controllers vs controllers, M&K vs M&K, Xbox vs PlayStation, etc. Just give players the choice. Let everyone play against who they want.
