Ugh....PC can play console players? That quite the advantage to PC.
Yeah it’s kind of unfair on Halo MCC too

These FPS games should probably just require a controller in all ranked matches and not allow Mouse+Keyboard.
That would NEVER fly with the PC crowd. You'd basically lose the entire competitive market and a good chunk of the content creator market.
So it looks like you can Opt Out of cross play if I'm reading comments there correctly? That would be great, then I don't have to worry about half the map being PC users...CoD tried to make a system that worked by prioritizing PC players on controller against console players via matchmaking, but people got around that through mods.
At this point, whether I'm playing against a guy on mouse+kb or against somebody on console rocking a modded controller that auto-aims and auto-ducks every time they take a shot, you're eating **** either way.
I would prefer search filters for matchmaking. Let me choose whether to prioritize skill or connection, let me say whether I want to play vs PC or just Xbox. For social pvp modes, I really couldn't care less. For ranked modes, I think more rigid filtering is necessary, even if it means slightly longer in the lobby before matches. Nothing makes me lose interest in ranked playlists more than the feeling that I'm getting screwed over. If I suck and am getting beaten down legit, and I feel it's fair, then I'll grit my teeth and get better.
So much this. Just one of a bunch of reasons why I love the BF games.CoD tried to make a system that worked by prioritizing PC players on controller against console players via matchmaking, but people got around that through mods.

Aren't they just a USB connection away from using a controller? If they want to play ranked against everyone then they should have to play with a controller.
It's an entirely different skillet physically.
I'm pretty good with a KB/M. Give me a controller vs practiced controller players and I'm dust. I could probably be learn to be passable with a controller after a couple hundred hours or more, but no serious KB/M player would bother unless they already play shooters on Consoles. I'm sure a lot do, but a lot don't or don't have the time investment into the pad that they do KB/M.
It's better to just do what the Offspring said and keep'em separated. If you can anyway
I don't think FPS games will ever be as separated again. Halo: Infinite will be PC & Xbox, Battlefield and COD the same. You're limiting your player base by an insane amount at this point if the technology exists and you're choosing not to have your AAA FPS be available to PC and Console gamers.

I love how they're leaning into the absurdist fun and emergent gameplay of Battlefield instead of the try-hard gritty epic framing.
