I'm asking all playstation users to turn off crossplay.
There are a lot of cheats on the PC side. Even without cheats, many settings exist. For example, PC players set the graphics to the lowest settings. This allows them to see the environment more clearly and increase FPS. PC owners play the game at 150-300fps. You, on the other hand, are competing with them by getting 60fps on your PlayStation. Some players change the lighting settings from the game's notepad, even though there are no in-game settings. This gives them an advantage against console players. My KDA is around 3 with cross-play disabled. When I enable cross-play, my KDA drops to 1. I don't even need to mention mouse and keyboard macros. For these and similar reasons, I invite all PlayStation owners to disable cross-play. Don't worry about not finding games. Games are easily found. If you can't find a game in 2-3 tries (the lobby usually fills up if you wait a bit), search for Tsuru Reef; you can be sure you'll find a full lobby. I've been playing with cross-play disabled for a month now. My enjoyment of the game has tripled compared to before. On PC, there's a dedicated player base, mostly made up of cod players, who exploit every loophole, cheat, and advantage(tryharder) in the game. The enjoyment of the game is exponentially greater when this group(tryharder) isn't around and games more casual. I have 300 hours of gameplay in the game. I definitely think crossplay shouldn't be allowed at all. I previously had 2900 hours in BF1 and 800 hours in BF5, and I played those games on PC. BF6 is my first console FPS experience. The tryhard people wasn't present in bf1-bf5. Games were more casual. You cant see 50-10 kill death see in bf1 and bf5 but it is normal for bf6.
As soon as crossplay was implemented it was the very first setting I would disable as it’s my strong belief console gaming and pc gaming are 2 completely different ecosystems that just don’t match. So from day 1 I’ve been on PS5 servers only.
I started my Battlefield carreer with BF1942 on PC and from those days it already was pay to win. Whoever got the best hardware would win. Back then I just had my first job fresh out of college living on my own paying rent and driving my first own car, so I could not afford a high end pc and the peripherals. But then you already had players who had a laser mouse vs players with an old fashioned mouse operating with a roller ball, guess who could be more precise.
This hardware inequality lead me to switch to PlayStation to get a level playing field when BF3 came out. Meanwhile I was earning decent money I just didn’t want it to sink it all into my pc to stay up to date and competitive. Cheating on pc was also one of my concerns although it was not as rampant as nowadays.
With console I got a closed ecosystem where everyone was using the same hardware free of cheats that would secure my gaming fun for years to come until a next gen would come out.
Unfortunately the equality on consoles also went out of the door with the introduction of devices like Cronus or even pro controllers. Yet still I believe crossplay is and will be a failed experiment.
And with that I als strongly believe PC players also should get the option to disable it.
