My experiences are kind of the opposite, with my feelings being that consoles have a clear, distinct and measurable advantage.
But at the end of the day, we both want the same thing. Crossplay off, input based matchmaking.
I've just given up on really playing BF6 because of the disparity in treatment between console and PC. Half or more of my gunfights I lose for the sole reason being that the other person is on a console, and I am on a PC. Consoles feel immune to damage, feel like they never even shoot before I somehow eat 30 bullets in a pictosecond, they can see me through walls AND shoot me through walls...
Just tiring. 99% of my deaths to PC I can be angry, but there isn't some "how in the heck" moment for most of them. It's pretty easy to tell, oh he got behind me, oh I just missed every shot, oh I was completely out of cover, so on and so forth. When it's a console, I shoot them, reticle directly in their chest, the expanding reticle that shows bloom still well centered on their chest, firing away... then I die before they ever shoot, and I've dealt MAYBE 1 bullet worth of damage, if I'm lucky.
I am of course NOT counting every VPN using TOS breaking CN player ruining this game in this.
We agree on the solution: give players proper control over crossplay and input-based matchmaking. If the experience is frustrating enough that you’ve stopped playing, that’s exactly the kind of problem I want EA to address.
But saying you lose fights solely because someone is on console is a conclusion your experience alone doesn’t establish. Feeling like someone takes no damage or kills you before you see them fire doesn’t demonstrate a console advantage. I experience that same frustration on PS5 against PC players, and neither of us can establish the cause just by checking the opponent’s platform.
My concern is whether differences in hardware and input create a fair experience for the average player. We can disagree about which side benefits while still supporting the same change: let people choose to play against comparable setups. I want enjoyable, fair matches, and it sounds like you do too.
