No Faith in Dice or BF6
Is there any chance BF6 won't have Crossplay enabled by default with grossly over-tuned Aim Assist?

We probably won't know for a while, but I'm hoping that it'll be opt-in rather than opt-out this time around. It is a struggle to find matches with crossplay switched off in Battlefield 2042, and I can see that happening again if the same system is used for BF6.
I really enjoy crossplay when it's a cooperative PVE game, such as Space Marine 2, but I don't like it at all when it's a competitive game like Battlefield. I just don't think it works, and I don't believe it's possible to balance effectively.
It definitely needs to be opt-in this time around. The default should be Crossplay disabled.
I think part of the problem is that they're really focusing on the Console player base. A lot of PC players got turned off by 2042 and didn't stick with it, most of my friends returned it right away, and never came back to check it out after some updates. So the player base is a bit smaller than previous Battlefield games, and then what's left is all mixed up between the different platforms. Which probably turns off more people, and then they leave. At least some of that's been my experience. I don't know if or how many people left because of Crossplay, but a lot of people will just quit and not say anything, I'm clearly not that type though lol.
I'm finally starting to see people acknowledge the fact that Aim Assist is over-tuned. As a PC player, we're always getting told to "get good", "deal with it", or you "get to use your entire arm", and so a lot of people wouldn't even speak up about it. That seems to be changing, and I hope it keeps going that direction. I'm so tired of every FPS game being over taken by this grossly over-tuned aim assist Justified by Crossplay.
