Hello, we’ve been playing cross play with a friend who is in Xbox (we’re on PS5) and we keep being put in lobbies where 90% of the players are PC. Every single time it was like this. How is this fair? The match up should be favouring consoles playing between themselves if there is no PC player in the party !!
It’s not fair and EA/DICE couldn’t care any less… sadly.
Then why don't you just disable crossplay?
Because you need crossplay to play between PS and Xbox
Hi, please :
stop cross-play
or put only controllers from all platform together on cross-play and leave mnk with mnk ONLY
do something against cronus users Jesus Christ.
The game is great but like in Apex cross-play or more precisely Aim assist on controller is a big issue nowadays.
That's annoying
While I am enjoying BF6 for the most part so far, I have a serious gripe with the poor decision-making around the lack of cross-play / cross-input options on PC.
Mouse and keyboard are at a SERIOUS disadvantage against auto-aim controllers. I simply do not understand why you would remove the cross-play option for the platform that need it the most. Apparently this is available on the console version, but nowhere to be found in the PC version. This shows a deep level of ignorance as to why this should even be an option in the first place.
There is a reason why the entire pro scene in Call of Duty started using controllers. It is simply because it is the most advantageous way to play. The auto-aim that controllers get is simply such an extreme advantage when you play against mouse and keyboard, who has to do the finer aiming movements manually, that the entire professional scene went to using that input method.
What you should do instead, is NOT to separate players based on platform, but INSTEAD separate players based on input method. This is the ONLY way to solve this problem. It is extremely disappointing to see this ignorant neglect for mouse and keyboard players.
Either offer mouse and keyboard players to not play against auto-aim controllers, or remove the auto-aim from controllers COMPLETELY (not just "tone it down"). I am baffled that no one at such a big studio has any idea about why cross-input play is problematic. It seems you have a completely inverted perception of reality. You literally made built-in aimbot for a specific input method and then barred the other input methods from opting out of engaging with them.
I really want to see a cross-input option, rather than a cross-platform option, available for EVERY platform. That way everyone can opt out of playing against other input methods and everyone can enable it and open up the playerbase that they have access to matching up with. When cross-input play is disabled, and a player during gameplay tries to change input method; you simply add a pop-up telling them to go back to their previous input method or leave the game and queue back up with the new input method and then give them the option to leave the game on that pop-up. This way you do not allow people to bypass the restriction by changing input method once the game has begun.
Please fix this very serious issue for BF6 and adopt it for any future shooters you create.
You said everything I wanted to say here, I agree with you 100%! My friends and I are experiencing the same problems.
For us, in most matches, we see a large number of console players on the opposing team. Often, more than 80% of the enemies are console players. You spend the entire match dying to players with auto-aim assist who can kill you with just a few headshots, while you can't react in time with a mouse and keyboard.
It's disappointing that you have to keep crossplay enabled to play with real people. There should be an option to play without crossplay with PC players — only with Xbox. Or something like that.
Imagine crying on PC users, when you're playing on console. Yes, beginners are more stable on pc, but at medium level (already) console players > pc players because of aim assist
