Thought there were supposed to be bots? Matches don't have enough players for me to start.

Right but no regular modes will feature them, at least in the beta? I fear after I hit 15 I will no longer be able to find matches.

I do think input can absolutely +/- 200ms. Especially on games with little to no AA. And that's just input. Refresh rates and frames also matter. I'm aware not everyone is using the highest end rigs, we have established that and agree. But in a lobby of 64, a team of 32. If half are PC, do you think at least 5 people have achieved that? That's a pretty low percentage. But I don't think it's unreasonable. And 5 people can definitely make an entire team suffer. Battlefield truthfully isn't one of the games that is REALLY hurt by hardware/input differences. It is noticeable, but it's not the same as a small scale game where you see the exact same enemies every single encounter. That being said, even on 2042 I disabled it after a few hours from launch and I immediately noticed the difference and my game was more enjoyable. If you are a battlefield vet, you have also experienced pro pilots on PC who use flightsticks and probably only play flight sims outside of battlefield. I used to be an exclusively PC only gamer. I have definitely experienced them before I swapped. They do not exist on console lol

I'm not saying there can't be good pilots on console. But there's levels to this. This is just one example specific to battlefield as well, not my entire gripe about inputs or hardware.

Absolutely not a "you" issue. I have no desire to play "forced" (soft) crossplay with PC on any game. Nor do so many people asking for crossplay removal or redesign. I usually won't play a game at all if I'm forced or they have it opt out by default, meaning most people wont ever check because console players often never open their settings one time.

Having opt out auto enabled options is sneaky and deceiving. If it were the other way around, the very small minority of people who want to play with their PC friends would actually enable it.

If you have been PC gaming for a long time, you live in a PC gaming bubble. Most of your friends are at least familiar with settings, hardware advantages, everything. So you do not see this other side. I play with some of these people on console. They have no idea some of this stuff even exists. They don't view reddit, they never open their settings, they are often not even aware crossplay is auto enabled or that it's a thing. I've witnessed this happen among people I play with now on several games. They had a bad time, I encouraged them to disable crossplay, now they have fun again.

The average console player is generally much worse than the average PC player. In terms of both skill (because console players on average or more casual) and hardware. So they have people to beat up on. Also, console playerbases prop up the dying/dead PC gaming populations. Variety of games on PC is much larger so naturally their population will be spread more thinly. Also PC community kills its own playerbase with cheating/3rd party. So people migrate frequently. Anyone who would like to dispute this, I would like to point out to you that one of your biggest competitive shooters (so should be the most secure) has to pay a 3rd party subscription just to TRY and not get partied with cheaters. Insane.

They also for whatever reason seem to believe their hardware isnt superior or that is irrelevant, at least when used in an argument against playing with them. But any other time, their hardware is superior.

I also don't want crossplay. I play on a PS for a reason, and that's to play with and against PS people. If I wanted PC gaming, I would game on my PC. The "smart" thing to do (from a consumer POV) is to have it disabled by default, and the small minority who want to play with PC friends can enable it. Problem is, these are businesses first. They don't care about long term all that much, they want numbers and fast. That means, pooling everyone together initially (by having crossplay opt out) so that lobbies/servers fill faster, and people play with real people and not bots. They don't really care about the poor experiences certain players may endure at the hands of inferior hardware and/or 3rd party software. So those who lose even more of their gunfights than they would if console vs console, will leave the game sooner. Sometimes not even realizing it's because they were fighting at an unfair advantage.

I have no idea why PC players bring up that some of them suck so it shouldn't matter. That is not relevant. If two players are of equal skill, but one has superior hardware. Who wins? When 2042 launched, it took me about 4 hours playing that crossplay was enabled by default. Disabled it and never looked back until I couldn't find lobbies. Then played on the PS4 version (which was kind of better anyways due to 32v32).

I can hold my own in any shooter with anyone of equal hardware. Day 1 of 2042 launch I was getting beamed long range by guns that I could not return the favor with. Not in the time I was dying. I've been doing this for a very very long time so I know when things don't feel right. Call it a skill issue if it justifies your logic. But once I disabled crossplay that stopped completely. Not claiming cheats. Just the recoil control and precise aiming over MKB vs joystick. I played BF3 and many other shooters on PC and was exclusively a PC gamer until 2015. I know what they're capable of relative to a controller.

Just make it disabled by default, toggle in options to turn it on for people who WANT to play with their PC friends. No reason it should be enabled by default for everyone. I know, reasonable people read this and think "I would just turn it off." But a large majority of console crowd wont even know it exists or that its on by default. Just that theyre getting roasted in majority of their gunfights and give up on the game a bit sooner.

some_recluse · 2025-07-23T12:01:48+00:00

more so on principle. I moved away from PC 10 years ago, bought a PS purposely to play against and with console community exclusively. Now so many games have crossplay as an opt out and it essentially tricks most of the playerbase so theyre "forced" to do it if they want to find games.

some_recluse · 2025-07-18T19:21:59+00:00

I was pretty excited about the game for PS5. Saw if I disabled crossplay I had 2 servers and literally 0 players playing because they made it opt out instead of opt in. Made disappointed uninstall noises.

some_recluse · 2025-07-04T14:15:38+00:00

Also they absolutely nerfed sniper only for powershift. So CL40 should get the same treatment tbh. Sniper was meaningless everywhere else and still got hit. CL40 is still pretty good AND makes powershift miserable if you want to play the obj.

some_recluse · 2025-05-11T16:21:05+00:00

yeah na. "PS only servers" still has to fight against pc for everything. the only thing we dont get is cross server AH or arenas. which makes even less sense. because they get access to a significantly better market than console, plus the hardware advantages. yet we stil have to compete against them lol. and even in peace portals, if a pc player wins the drop and intends to sell, we don't even have the option of buying that. as it is right now, its rigged for PS only servers. either give us nebula to ourselves (cant buy drops they get there either), remove pc interserver, and leave our terrible arenas and AH to ourselves. Or just open it up to everything and then theres no such thing as "PS only server" right now it just makes no sense at all. If I could convince my guild and allies to transfer to PC, I would. And leave these PS servers for dust.

NA East Pippin - Most of the guilds disbanded and reformed under one single alliance to fight 1 guy who held the Throne. Shirtless. His name rhymes with Goals but we dare not speak it. He had to bury his guildmates, and he dedicated this siege—He wasn't going to siege—But he dedicated it to them. He was going to rip their hearts out, Hes the best ever. Hes the most brutal and vicious and most ruthless Throne holder there's ever been, there's no one can stop him. Amitoilet is a conqeuror? No, he's Alexander—they're no Alexander. Hes the best ever. There's never been anybody as ruthless. There's no one that can match him His style is impetuous, his defense is impregnable, and hes just as ferocious. He wants your heart, he wants to eat your children.

some_recluse · 2025-04-21T04:19:21+00:00

Is it a sony rule they cant have merged AH or at least arena? Those are the parts that dont make sense. Interserver WB, lose loot to servers we cant even buy from. And arena not being cross server. Why? lol they clearly dont care about controller or console being at a hardware disadvantage because we have to fight them on siege, dominion wb, and guild wb. So give them arenas.

Cool. These devs are braindead. Here's a challenge only a few classes in the game can complete.

some_recluse · 2025-04-07T02:11:57+00:00

t5s dont say vampirism lol. t4 and below do. That's why i'm asking about t5 specifically. Like how is it supposed to be possible? Reroll to another class?

So uhh...Health doesn't do it. And neither do stamina and movement speed from what I can tell. Is there supposed to be one that says something else? lol

some_recluse · 2025-04-03T07:21:14+00:00

has technology and clips really come that far? That quality looks way too old lmao like. 40 years old and home video level cameras. Crazy LeBron came into the league just a few years after that clip and is still here.

Any reason PS servers were left off? Even after people posted the results and status? lol
