So i just read an article saying how the final updates have been put in place and that any future games, if the developer so chooses to do so, can allow xbox and playstation and PC users to all game together… FINALLY. This is something that should have happened long long ago…
The article said that the new call of duty will most likely impliment this feature.
Since advanced warfare will probably be released around the same time as Battlefield One, my question is for you DICE EMPLOYEES!!!
-WILL THIS BE A FEATURE IN BATTLEFIELD 1?!?!-
I really really hope it is, simply for the fact that it would increase the life cycle of the game by like quadruple. And not only that, but then the servers will be mote full and will have a wider variety of choices of servers… Also it would make sense that since there would be 3x as many people on the same servers, that the dlc servers would FINALLY be able to be used more than the first month of an expansion being released. (Im talking about game modes other than conquest… Yes there are always conquest dlc servers… Im talking about stuff such as naval strike rotation on hardcore gun master or domination or something of the sorts)
Can a dice employee comment on if this feature will be implimented in BF1 or not?!
Yea i would actually prefer it to be only xbone and ps4… but the article i read included PC, so i figured id throw it in here too. If i do actually get a reply from dice themselves, id like to know the full answer lol
Lol oh look. A pc master race who thinks hes king tut! How originial!!!
But nice try buddy
I play both pc and ps4… and while there is def more control and better accuracy on pc, if a player is good, a player is good. Im almost just as good on my ps4 as my pc. The hardware doesn’t make the player. Will it help? Yes of course. But is it a huge difference to someone who is all around good no matter what? No
Making a theoretical example of two players with identical stats (down to the last decimal), and equal internet connection speeds and ping, one on console the other on PC.
My question is:
how much of an advantage would m/k give vs a controller (little - somewhat better - much better)?
how much influence would the PC’s hardware and game frame rated have vs the console’s?
how would the (obvious) presence of hackers be dealt with?
Finally, based on the answers to the above mentioned questions, is PC vs console cross-platform play worth it?
1 Not an insane amount as I have seen PC players playing with a controller do fine. Battlefield is pretty smooth even on a controller with the amount of sensitivity customization they have. Its not an Indie game where the Controller has 1 sensitivity where its useless against a mouse.
2 I would say a good amount having a limited FPS compared to an unlimited one wouldn’t work to well. It would be like someone with a bad pc playing against one with a good pc.
3 Hackers is an interesting subject for cross play. Because you would have to deal with Microsoft or Sony and Ea. So I am going to say it would be harder to ban hackers.
I wouldn’t think it would be worth it. Honestly I don’t see the point its not like they would need to use cross platform to fill up game modes. I don’t think any platform struggles to get enough servers filled.
that’s apples to oranges though. because at that point, you’re comparing a person’s pc skill with a controller relative to other pc players. you need to then compare that player to the console crowd. even then, its not really the same.
the sensitivity is less important than the flexibility. you can simply perform more functions simultaneously on a keyboard and the mouse will is better equipped to change direction quickly as thre is no “dead zone” and you dont have to decelerate (as you swing the stick across the middle) to change direction with either aiming or moving.
Bunny hopping and “crouching” shots are alot easier to do on Keyboard. I play on 100% sensitivity so its close to using a mouse, and I would love to have a crack at PC elitist. One thing that would suffer from this cross play is noobs on console.
As far as I remember, aren’t there mouse and keyboards sold specifically for consoles too nowadays? This could help level the gap between the average console and PC players.
I’d never play on console against PC. Doesn’t make any sense. However, Xbox and PS would be great. Having a Commander app for all PC, Mac, and mobile would be nice, though.
One of the few “advantages” of console vs pc gaming is the comparatively small presence of hackers. Whilst in PC gaming the problem seems to be getting worse (according to many PC players themselves).
PC hackers would be attracted to cross-platform games like flies on a pile of cow dung! Another opportunity to show off their “skills” and find more victims for their dirty play.
Let’s not open the flood gates to these individuals who end up ruining gaming for everybody else!
a lot of players complain but 95% of it is just scrubbiness and an unwillingness to blame themselves. BF has realtively few hackers and pc in general really isnt that bad anymore. its simply a case of pride.
