So, I like too play with my buddies, but they have PS4’s. I have a PC, so if PC could go with PS4 & with XBox One that would be great! I understand that PS4 would probably not be compatible with XBox One though. Option in settings maybe? To join friends on console while you’re on PC? ---

PC would have such an unfair advantage over console players that it will be more likely to see Xbox One and PS4 together only. Both Microsoft and Sony have shown interest in cross platform play and from reports want to let developers make the choice of what can be done. If cross platform play is done with BF1 I think it would be incredible for the community. ---

DICE please I wat to be on the front lines with my friends… Cross platform with PC & consoles please! ---

That will not happen, and I will tell you why. There is an inherent disadvantage using a controller instead of kb and m. Until Sony and MS allow first party kb and mouse on console, it won’t happen ---

Absolutely not. I’ve had this argument with so many people. K/M is far superior to controllers. And don’t even think about making an argument about aim assist since it screws good players over more than it helps by aiming at the person you don’t want to aim at when there’s a group. XB1 with PS4 would be okay. There’d just be a slight advantage for PS4 because it has better hardware, especially if there is an upcoming PS4.5 that has even better hardware. Even if you were to give XB1 and PS4 keyboard support, most players likely won’t use it because using a controller is a lot more casual, which is what console gamers typically are, so it’d be very unfair to them to introduce an even bigger community that’s using k/m. In addition, PCs can have much better hardware than consoles, resulting into them loading into games faster, having less input lag, etc. There’s already enough of an issue on PC where low-end PCs struggle against high-end PCs, this would just add to it. Also no, nerfing the PC version (and even the PS4 version slightly) to XB1’s level will make the majority of the community upset. ---

I’am sure it’s not as easy to make this work from a technical standpoint either. ---

Okay, so maybe there could be a setting that you could turn on to make your PC go down to a console level, and it would let you play with the console players. You could turn it back on and it would switch you back to the PC players. Optional and convenient. Could that happen? It would be an optional balance that would let PC gamers play with console gamers. Please, it would make all of us happy. ---

It’s not happening man. Most likely it’s not as easy to do as you seem to think it is plus I don’t see what advantages would EA have to spend time and work on making this work. And again there is the controllers/aimassist/Keyboard mouse issue. ---

I understand that PS4 would probably not be compatible with XBox One though. Option in settings maybe? To join friends on console while you’re on PC? I have no desire to play with gamers from a platform that’s infested with cheaters and hackers. I vote NO to cross platform games. ---

I can not believe I’m even reading this??? seriously people we wouldn’t have dedicated servers if it weren’t for DICE… if you want to play together go to console!!! us PC gamers work hard at our systems to be able to get the kind of game we want to play.. unlike the COD series that is ruined due to them not giving us Dedi servers… I wouldn’t play this if we went to matchmaking like COD ---

I owned 1 and its awful. I’ve owned Xim edge and now xim4 for some time now. I like to think part of the reason why they have it licensed is because it gives a fair advantaged for the controllers on how bad the mouse movement is. Besides the turn speed limit it doesn’t get any better for the xim. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/console-with-pc/101104.md?page=2)
