Cross play is a lie! Not really cross play

★★★ Apprentice

So as I understand it, the only time a console player will play in a PC player lobby is if they invite a PC player to their team and que up. So there is no opt in or opt out as a understand it for console players. PC players can opt in or out not sure which yet to allow them to be que against console players if one was to choose to play with PC player. So basically all the hope us PC players had in maybe bring in fresh bodies to our lobbies is dead... so I can assume that I will continue to que with diamond, master and apex predators constantly with my season average KDR of only 1.54 which in my opinion is dog crap. So again SBMM pretty much has ruined the fun of the game for me because their algorithm is awful and there's not enough players on PC to cast a wider net... i guess this is a late night rant, but I am disappointed in hearing the news.

Technically it's not a lie, it's a half truth, which depending on how you look at it could be a lie or not. I'm thankful for opt-out because with my luck, my teammates would be console plebs vs. PC Predators. SBMM's hard enough, why make it harder?

 

I don't want fresh bodies, that's no better than cannon fodder. I think they should either remove SBMM and keep things completely random, or actually give us a solo mode.

@GalliumDeath Where did you get this info from? Did they elaborate on specifics already?

@GalliumDeath It's not so surprising really, considering the differences between PC and console.

The fact that Ps4 players can play with Xbox players (and possibly switch players) without being matched up with PC players is great news for the console side of the community.

It's possible that if Respawn ever perfect their anti-cheat software then we may eventually see a fully unified player base but until then I guess PC players will have to make do with just having the occasional console player in their lobbies.
