I wanted to play some ranked, but it seems I can’t choose to only face console players. Crossplay is unfair since PC players have the upper hand

use the search option and you will find a lot off threads about crossplay.
its old news more what you are telling that you cant choose to play against console players only since there was never be a option at all in the first place for halo infinite crossplay since its been force since day one what a lot of people not wane.

PC players don’t have the upper hand. Controller players dominate the “top” players lists and consistently have 10-15% more accuracy because of the insane levels of aim assist.

But aim assist has been turned down now in this Winter update. Did they do this to “even the playing field” for M/KB players?
Mouse is always superior because it’s more precise then aiming with a analog stick.

The mistake was them forcing cross play to begin with; keyword there being forcing. Make it optional. Allow people to choose whether or not they want to be filtered into cross play matches. It’s unrealistic to expect them to be able to perfectly balance crossplay amongst so many possible platforms, inputs, & configurations, so they should stop making the work even harder on themselves by forcing it upon us. 343i constantly try to gatekeep various things about Halo, instead of just letting us have fun with it the way we want to.

this is something we have told on the old forum back then when the game was still in development that its wrong to make it force crossplay.
since a lot off xbox console communety members not trust the PC communety with there cheat’s.
Warzone back then when it launch has proof it what you get when you add force crossplay and F2P in a multiplayer setting.
there was a lot off proof from it that you get a lot off PC cheaters in your game and a lot off hate from the console side also about it.
a lot off people have give up the hope that halo infinite multiplayer gets a Option version off the crossplay setting.
since look at the new cod game its also force crossplay between Xbox console and PC platforms.
and what you get only more hate about it.

Make small changes to aim assist doesn’t mean they have turned it off. Controllers will always have AA. It’s was just unfair and by the way nothing says that controller isn’t still OP.
Time will tell us but I’m pretty confident that this update will not bring pro mnk player in the game !
For me the biggest mistake was to make it F2P « BeCaUsE wE r MuCh c00LeR tHaN FoRtNiTE ». It encourages cheaters and poor players who doesn’t give a sh*t about their account.
Most of people I saw RQ were impersonal spartans with a « 1 » next to their name.

so they should then stop allowing use of keyboard and mouse on console too as that is an unfair advantage, also split up series x from xbox one users as the series has a higher framerate and therefore an advantage, if they split it all up there won’t be enough players full stop.
Console players complain that MNK players have an upper hand for their mouse accuracy.
PC players complain console players have an upper hand for their insane aim assist.
They aren’t going to remove crossplay.
Personally, since crossplay is becoming standard, Xbox needs to get with the times and add gyro to their controllers. It is standard in every controller except Xbox now. That way controllers have similar accuracy to MNK while still having the comfort and extras of a controller. This would help close the gap between the two types.

Not trying to troll here or anything as i am genuninely curious; but how was online play during Halo 1 + 2 (original) when it came out on both XBOX Classic & PC? Was there cross play then?
halo ce xbox didnt had online. Halo pc had it. Halo 2 xbox didnt have crossplay back then cuz when h2 released on pc it used windows live and xbox used xbox live.\

PC players can see player outlines through walls. Which means they can also see active camo players.
343’s proprietary anti cheat engine known as Arbiter.dll is 
and can’t detect anyone’s cheat engine. There’s been people in ranked since Season 1 using cheats without getting banned.
It’s a larger issue than people realize. I’d say the biggest problem with the game is desync. 2nd is no anti cheat. (that works)

I kinda get why crossplay is forced. If it was not Pc players would not have anyone to play with.
Oh boy you re so wrong. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The game’s own controller pros say mnk doesnt stand a chance against controller.
But how can that be? There’s no denying that mouse is superior for aiming over a controller for damn near all FPS games.
I wonder what those pro’s think now after they adjusted the aim assist in this latest update.
I dont mean to be rude to you but you clearly dont have enough experience on mnk halo. The reason mnk is bad on halo is because of these things:
-
Strafing speed is fast in this game so tracking on mnk is harder and aim assist more impactful
-
Headshots do not matter in halo unless opponent has no shields. Therefore the precision of using mnk doesnt matter unless using a sniper or a shock rifle (sniper is bad on both mnk and controller and feels terrible btw)
-
The starting weapon is the br for ranked. The battle rifle as a weapon greatly puts mnk at a disadvantage as it feels really bad to use on mnk and getting 4shot perfects on mnk is extremely rare or nearly impossible against good opponents that know how to strafe. The current aim assist makes it impossible to win against an equally skilled opponent when on mnk against a controller in close to medium range br duels. Stats show that controller has 15% more accuracy than mnk. That is A BIG ADVANTAGE since missing 1BULLET out of the burst is enough to increase the br ttk significantly. And no… the br nerf didnt change anything since it only affects long range engagements that werent the main issue to begin with. Were the ranked games with a single shot starting weapon like the DMR instead of the BR then the game would’ve been much more balanced in mnk vs controller. The battle rifle needs a fix for mnk because right now mnk players still dont stand a chance.
