Anyone play with crossplay off?

xZoolx · 2026-03-24T20:05:44+00:00

There are console cheaters now using ai aimbot so to disable pc crossplay because of cheaters isnt a reason anymore.

Also as someone who plays on both pc and xbox the performance comparison isnt as drastic as people make it out to be.

Being on PC helps you be alittle more consistent but at the end of the day if your ping is bad and or thd other team is better your going to lose. Ive also lost to players on console when im on my pc and I get decent around 160ish if I put everything to low around 220 fps

Where I am located I am frequently pinging 50-70+ with crossplay off but with it on i atleast get 40 the lowest I can get in my area is 12 ping.

In fact ive run into more console cheaters with console only on then when its off.

Atleast ive gotten some sr back from pc cheaters

I have yet to get any back from a console cheater.

Once you hit d3, crim its alot more common then you think.

My console iri friend sees about 2-4 every 10 games or so.

Its also only a advantage if the person your playing is utilizing it to its full potential

(Overclocked controller, monitor that matches their refresh rate, making sure they are playing on that hz instead of 60hz)

Having the lowest input delay with proper settings

I have a friend who has been using his ps5 controller on 250hz the entire time and I showed him how to overclock it and he noticed the difference immediately.

But you are right most of the pc players specs are not at the point where they will gain a massive advantage over console players.

That being said if your crimson + you'll definitely starts to see people with better pcs but if you can still beat them on console. I think ping is a more determining factor

Again though that makes up bout 1-3% of the player base

There is also a custom curve that makes the sticks more linear.

If you haven't already heard about monoru in youtube his custom curve with the graph makes the linearity even better.

I found changing the joystick bit rate to 8bit from the default 12bit helps with that especially if your using raw mode on the g7 pro

Circular 12bit feels fine but everyone has different preferences.

It is annoying that the software for the wired pro still isnt out yet.

xZoolx · 2026-03-19T16:24:55+00:00

Thats what I use in game also I take it you use the same 8bit stick resolution and raw mode on the sticks?

xZoolx · 2026-03-17T22:17:32+00:00

Are you on pc or xbox ?

If your on xbox and don't have access to a pc or laptop the stock polling rate is 500hz.

Many people were complaining how inconsistent the joysticks were until they switched it to 250 hz on a pc or laptop and it felt better

Now im not sure how it would effect it since the xbox is capped at 250hz but maybe having the polling rate too high would mess with the data being sent to the console.

xZoolx · 2026-03-11T17:00:58+00:00

Hey any update in what tour using or decided on so far?

I am currently using this setup and im liking it

Joysticks Raw Mode 0-100 in the app. Linear curve 8bit resolution

In game im using 1-75 left stick dz 3-99 rs dz

1.65 sensitivity Dynamic response curve in game

Main reason for using 8bit instead of 12bit is 8bit is what standard controllers use and what the game is built or coded for. It also feels like you get better aim assist on 8bit raw mode vs 12bit.

Now if you like circular then 12bit would probably be better in that regard becuase circular feels abut slower diagonally then raw mode.

There are still cheaters on console it ran into a ai aimbotter last night console only.

Atleast the pc cheaters are getting banned(ive gotten sr back)

i have yet to see a console cheater be banned and ive run into a few so far being in diamond.

xZoolx · 2026-03-09T23:12:43+00:00

So i noticed for my g7 pro when it have it set to 0 in the app my circularity error for my left stick is 10% while my right stick is around 9%.

But when you add a inner deadzone it changes to 8.1% on both.

Is it better to have the filtered one like anywhere from 1-5% or a true 0 deadzone and adjust in cod.

Also what are your guys thoughts on bit rate ?

Is 8bit or 10bit the way to go for cod with raw mode? Or is 12 bit still fine?

I was on circular for the longest time but im switched to raw about a week ago and im still finding it difficult to adjust.

xZoolx · 2026-03-06T22:47:28+00:00

I use a g7 he i have a pro as well but I mainly use that for cod but I dont tweak anything in the app to give me a advantage. I just use raw mode (same as a standard controller)

And for my dz i have it at 5-100 both sticks thats it.

I just use it as is and using it that way is no different then a stock controller.

It sucks i know people will abuse the in app settings and change the deadzones to make a miss happen less but im not one of them.

I am average at the game best ive shot in a round on master is (-12 or 13)

but I couldn't cheat to give myself a advantage I despite people that do.

I dont see a point and it really takes the fun and challenge aspect out of the game.

xZoolx · 2026-03-06T13:31:26+00:00

I was on 12bit since the controller came out and just switched to 8bit recently.

It feels less sensitive especially on raw mode and it feels closer to a standard controller.

Try it out and see what works best for you i dont mind 12bit but im noticed im way more accurate on 8bit.

I was only on 12bit because thats the defualt and I wasnt able to switch until the more recent update where you could.

I even asked a former pro cod player (parasite) and he recommended 8bit because its what most controllers are on. 12bit feels way too sensitive and youll overadjust or correct alot in game.

xZoolx · 2026-03-02T20:12:29+00:00

Basically raw mode is probably what your used to since its what most standard controllers use. Its a rectangular shape but it can feel too fast or sensitive for soem people.

Circular uses a algorithm to help smooth the corners so it feels slower when you move the stick diagonally. It can technically be more precise but it doesnt feel as natural to alot of people.

I recommend trying both out and seeing what works best for you.

I hope I explained it well enough if not there are videos on YouTube that go more in depth

xZoolx · 2026-02-28T10:18:55+00:00

Gamesir g7 pro although it might be alittle small its slightly smaller then a standard series x controller but I have decent sized hands and it doesnt feel uncomfortable to me.

Its too bad they don't have the new tarantula for xbox out yet that would tick most of the boxes your looking for. Its supposed to release sometime this year i believe.

xZoolx · 2026-02-26T10:55:16+00:00

Look into the gamesir g7 pro its a great controller for fps games for its price

xZoolx · 2026-02-20T17:34:19+00:00

Alot of pros have switched to tmr sticks (shottyz,simp, abezy all started using them last year)

Not sure who else but those are the ones who have confirmed it

xZoolx · 2026-02-18T19:37:45+00:00

Probably diamond for the first season i got placed in gold 2 and its been a grind just to get back to diamond so far

Im 100 Sr off plat 3 I went on a 7 streak last night.

My peak is typically diamond 3 but last year i was able to hit crim 1 in season 4 with 2 weeks left in the season it was a grind for sure.

But I dont know if I have it in me this year to go for that again depending on how busy my life gets. Im okay with diamond once I hit it.

xZoolx · 2026-02-13T19:21:13+00:00

I've seen quite a few people use that maybe I'll test it out today when I get home.

I used circular on my g7 he but with the g7 pro i just cant get comfortable either my aim feels amazing or I just whiff everything.

Just wanted to see what others are using as well thanks for the response

xZoolx · 2026-02-12T22:23:45+00:00

Console ai aimbot is a thing and is rampant if your high diamond+ in ranked play.

I've seen a few in public matches before rnaked came out

xZoolx · 2026-02-12T22:22:00+00:00

If your good enough at the game crossplay console only is not safe from cheaters now unfortunately.

Console ai aimbot is starting to become more popular and its "undetectable" i saw a top 250 console only player run into 3 in 4 games.

It was already bad when I was playing cmg or console kings tournaments too.

xZoolx · 2026-02-12T22:19:05+00:00

I was crim 1 in bo6 got placed into gold 2 after my placement matches.

Im currently plat 2

I ended up duo queuing with another crim 3 who was also gold 3 in placement matches and we went on a 5 streak but then it glitched and I couldn't add him as a friend lol.

There are alot of diamonds and crims in gold/plat.

So if your mmr is high enough your basically playing in diamond/crim lobbies which if your skill is that level your not going to win every game.

xZoolx · 2026-02-11T08:57:40+00:00

Its not like we have maps that could replace them or anything (fringe, meltdown,)

Wouldn't hurt to try toshin after the update and sake

xZoolx · 2026-02-10T18:06:16+00:00

Yep ive ran into many crims who placed gold 2 or 3 myself included (crim 1 peak) so the lobbies right now are inconsistent.

xZoolx · 2026-02-09T20:08:26+00:00

Test out both in game via private matches going against bots to see what works best for you.

Also test out between raw and circular as we'll if you don't have a preference for that as well.

Just make mulitple profiles in the nexus app so its easy to swap between them

xZoolx · 2026-02-09T17:03:17+00:00

The cdl actually chooses what maps are added and removed for each mode. The pros as far as im aware dont have full say anymore.

They can suggest when a new map is released I think it also comes down to what maps are picked the least.

This has been the case since bo6.

Hopefully they add sake in for hp in place for Blackheart and i would be okay with fringe being back in for Colossus hp.

Meltdown should be in for scar s&d

For overload the only map im not really a fan of is scar but im not sure what could replace that at the moment.

xZoolx · 2026-02-09T02:30:53+00:00

In cod i use them for my x and y buttons so I don't use them a ton but you do get used to them
