Ah, I see. Was confused where the confusion was coming from. Now I'm confused too. 😄

Yeah the blog post 100% reads like you can do only XSX/PS5 crossplay but that tweet from the community manager says no. 🤷🏽♂️Ah, I see. Was confused where the confusion was coming from. Now I'm confused too. 😄
Yeah, this as well. I know my friends and I were upset with queue times when we turned it off in Warzone, before the hacker controversy made it a big deal for a lot of people. We were just tired of trying to fight people who could win a 3v1 by instantly turning 180 and lasering people in the head with high RoF weapons, but console only search times would take 5 minutes.

Make a notification to console players plugging in a mouse and keyboard that the game will pit them against PC players too, so they can't use it to gain an unfair edge.
Eh, not really, we just want to have unified messaging so we don't repeat some of the conflicting messaging that happened with BFV. :) I'm sure more info and finer details on everything will be available as we go forth.
EA Play is next week, for example, and we will share more info on the game then. But as always, share your thoughts and feedback on anything we announce and reveal. Community questions guide us on what we need to provide clarity for.
We know there's been plenty of OP meta guns they add in every patch that you can pay $10 to unlock right away, only to nerf them 2 weeks later. But seeing every other killfeed be someone running at a corner jumping, instantly turning 90 degrees in midair and shooting, and going prone the second they touch the ground isn't something you can do with an unmodded controller.Y'all really attribute you getting wavechecked in shooters solely to KBM huh?
It's not an unfair edge.
damn, I don't like not being able to play with my PS4 friends (on a PS5).
I guess I understand why. reduced player counts, etc. but I was hoping there'd be some solution there.
That's a real disappointment for me.
The Gold and Ult editions are crossbuy and presumably there will be an upgrade option for PS4.can you download the ps4 version and just play that version with your buds?
Assuming is cross buy but I don't know if it is.

I also remember the older BF games having issues with vehicles where mouse DPI settings let you snap turrets around instantly, making it almost impossible to C4 them if they saw you, no matter how close you were. DICE had to hard code realistic rotation speed limits into the tank turrets in BFV specifically to prevent that from happening again.
Two separate skus. You need both versions.Probably a dumb question but is there any way to downgrade Battlefield 2042 on Xbox to play with last gen friends? Or would you have to own 2 different versions of the game????

Seems like they have not said how weapons etc are unlocked? Hopefully BF4 style?
Also, nothing on Male/Female variants of the Specialist s?
Agreed. Part BF4 with unlocking weapons etc would be good but choosing attachment unlocks would be great. The issue I had with BFV was having to grind through rubbish attachments to get what you wanted. Thankfully the game had hardly any to unlock, since they were mostly cosmetic.We just know that unlocks are tied to XP. If I were to guess I would say that using AR's unlock more ARs, SMGs more SMGs etc. BF 4 model for attachment unlocking is pretty dogshit, they would be better off by having weapon XP giving unlock tokens that you then let unlock what attachments you want when you want. BFV also had good model for attachments as you unlocked them in specific order and didn't take much grind to get them.
Specialists are basically heroes / villains from Battlefront or Elites from BFV. They have set name, age, gender and backstory.

Would prefer BF1 or V's style of unlocks where you get tokens to choose for guns and attachments instead of just class exp.We just know that unlocks are tied to XP.

It's silly that they're set characters and not subclasses that you can customize the gender and such for. Seems like a weird downgrade from BFV.(….)Shame about Specialists being set. was hoping they had a custom option to build how you want. Will probably only be playing Combat Medic anyway haha.
Agreed. I really see no need for specialist classes in a game where you could just as easily customise your character. It's just marketing fluff and something for DICE to push as " fresh and new"It's silly that they're set characters and not subclasses that you can customize the gender and such for. Seems like a weird downgrade from BFV.
Back in the Refractor engine days it was always high res, high render distance, and minimum everything else to see everyone.And this is just discussing input methods. There are dozens of fairly easy ways for a PC player to gain an unfair advantage. Going from just adjusting your FOV (something that thankfully BF allows on consoles but Warzone don't) to downgrading your settings not only to have higher FPS but also have an easier time identifying targets because the game in low settings render less or no grass at all for exemple.
I figured.
This is absolutely hilarious.Y'all really attribute you getting wavechecked in shooters solely to KBM huh?
It's not an unfair edge.
Not that I'm very invested in all that, but I think it's a discussion worth having. I don't think there is a single answer to it thought, the impact of controles difference is very different depending on things like :Y'all really attribute you getting wavechecked in shooters solely to KBM huh?

Totally unrelated and a bit trollish but this was in my recommendations and made me laugh
I've skimmed all 6 pages and no one is discussing the really big news!?
Why does "playstation" get an R after it in the very first tweet of the first post, but Xbox doesn't!?
(Registered trademark, circle thingy)
Not that I would want to disable cross-play, but we have yet to see if third-party server are part of the 2042 package. It took more than a year to get community games / server for Battlefield V, and the available option for them was extremely barebone ( at least when it was released I don't know if that changed afterward ), to the extent that blacklist wouldn't even be saved between each session ( making it painfully inefficient a preventing cheating ).Not sure why anyone on PC is complaining anyway, if we actually get a proper server browser, any of your usual PC third-party servers will most likely all have cross-play disabled.
Ha! Learn something new every day, thank you!👍Unless im mistaken MS registered the Xbox logos but not the word Xbox so they dont force people to put the ® on the name Xbox when its just typed out, if you use the "xbox" font then you need to put the trademark.
Playstation as a word is trademarked by Sony, so even when just typing the word out in an official/commecial fashion you'd need to put the ®
They weren't arguing that you have to be insanely skilled with a gamepad to stand a chance against m/kb in Warzone. They were stating that the gamepad has inherent advantages in that particular game that makes it better than mouse and keyboard overall, regardless of skill level.This means nothing unless you expect the average console gamer to be as skilled as this guy.
Honestly this whole discussion about m/k and controllers is baffling to me.
For 20 years PC players have been (rightfully) touting how superior and more precise m/k is compared to controllers in FPS games and now cross play is enabled and all of that is thrown out of the window and suddenly PC players are annoyed and get all defensive when console guys don't want to play with then and keep downplaying the superiority of m/k left and right.
On this very thread there are people claiming that m/k has no inherent advantage over controllers. It's crazy.
Every argument gets disregarded because a few freaks out of 20 million players can pull the craziest headshots with a controller, or because there is so much assist involved to even allow consoles to compete that in some instances it might be actually easier to aim with a controller.
Well not every console player likes to be overwhelmed by that much aiming assist. I always, always get pissed when I'm trying to kill someone and other dude just crosses my sight and my aim snaps to him. Happens all the time. Personally I always preferred more subtle aim assist, but that is just me.
Not to mention that we have no idea how DICE will approach this and how successful they will be in having an even and fair field for everyone to play so console players can actually have a chance. The guy remembering how much faster it was to aim and turn a tank turret on a PC on every BF game ever until BF5 is not wrong.

And that is not even getting into the whole cheating problem.
But wait cheating on PC doesn't matter anymore because you can buy a Cronus or maybe even buy a dedicated PC with a capture card and have auto aim on Xbox! We should totally disregard cheating on PC because sure as hell there are cheaters on consoles too!
I'm half expecting someone to show a video of some dude on a controller pulling a sick Zerg rush to claim that controllers are as good as m/k on RTS games.

Not so happy about that, just want to opt out from PC Players. And I would like to know if I buy cross gen bundle, do I have to install it two times, to switch between PS5 and PS4?
