There is no reasonable excuse not to have cross play moving forward. The implementation should be in co-op campaign/firefight and special mixed lobbies similar to Fortnite for multiplayer.
I think the main concern is M+KB would dominate in multiplayer. I’m personally not too concerned as I plan to jump between my Xbox One and PC.
I would be fine with Campaign, Firefight, and a custom browser. I don’t know how they’d implement it in multiplayer if at all, or how it would be received.

i agree 100%
They should definitly have crosplay in campaign/any pve co-op and social playlists/warzone. The only modes they probably shouldn’t would be ranked arena/competitive.
I can see it being good in coop game modes and CUSTOMS ONLY. Not only should it stay of out ranked, but out of matchmade multiplayer entirely. Mouse and keyboard is just too big of an advantage for matchmaking

I agree, the precise aiming of the mouse would decimate controller players, even if they don’t know it.

They could do what other titles already implement and give us the choice of cross play. Either play against controller or KB + M or both, or just play Xbox v Xbox. Cross play will become commonplace, Microsoft seem to be pushing for play anywhere, anytime on any device. If I had it my way I would have Halo cross play on Playstation too.
Like everyone said, if it were Campaign, Firefight, Customs, or Forge, cross play wouldn’t be an issue. If it was matchmaking, they should make two different servers: the Xbox users and the Windows 10 (Steam or wherever it is released on PC) users.
As long as it’s an option I’m fine with PC/console cross play.
- Allow you to toggle cross-play in matchmaking - Allow you to search for Xbox or PC only games in the Customs Browser - Put an icon next to people’s name letting people know if they are on Xbox or PC in the lobbys of games where both are allowedJust add all this in Infinite and everything should work out, Gear of War did this.
