Call of Duty will finally let console players turn off crossplay to dodge PC cheaters, which is potentially terrible news for all the legit PC players (www.pcgamer.com)

but at the cost of competitive fairness??? No thanks.

You do realize current CoD is matchmaking based on engagement, right?

If it takes 3 matches of getting stomped to exit the game, it'll give you an easy win every 3 games.

If the first number changes, so does the second.

That's not even getting into how buying skins artificially reduces the second number.

Like, after accounting for just those two things, it's kind of absurd to complain about fairness unless it's competitive mode, and I'm pretty sure those already have pc/console splits.

Player input uniformity is one of my biggest gaming gear grinding situations. It’s especially problematic with my favorite genre of games: competitive FPS games.

That's how it was split....

A PC controller would be matched up like a console controller. Now pc controllers will be grouped with PC mouse players....

You typed a lot but don't seem to know what you're talking about about bud

I can almost guarantee you I know more about the topic and high level fps gaming in general than you do.

you’re currently engaging with one of THE biggest “know-nothing know-it-all”s on Lemmy, fyi.
