Fully agree, crossplay should be an option, not on by default!
But my feeling is that they will copy-paste the crossplay implementation from BF2042 just for the sake of cost saving as they’d need less servers.
As long as they won’t support MnK on consoles crossplay will only keep causing frustration in both communities. PC players complain about aim assist which console players get, and console players will complain about the movement advantage a mouse provides over a controller.
But even if they would allow MnK on console I wonder if you ever will get a leveled playing field. There would still be lag caused by the different networks having to communicate with each other back and forth.
The few times I’ve played BF2042 with crossplay on were an unpleasant experience and have made me switch crossplay off never to turn it on again.
