The more i play the more it just seems more prevalent in games when crossplay is involved.
Playing fiesta and have people on a different platform full on living a rocket so close any closer it would of been a direct hit. I have people taking multiple melee hits, living energy sword hits, taking a full sidekick mag in the back and take next to 0 damage.
Im not saying crossplay is the only cause but -Yoink!- is it far more common against people on a different platform

I tend to agree. I think it’s no coincidence that hit reg is also significantly worse against PC players…and they may well feel the same way playing against console players. The down side to our thoughts is that it is just a theory and the crossplay plaudits will simply ask us for evidence which we’re clearly unable to provide.

Well the evidence is simple, just record the clip and show theyre on a different platform. Big issue is do people really want to make that many clips?
Desync is so common its not really hard to show, i could stream and itd be shown multiple times in a day. Like im not blaming anyone at all nor do i want to start some child platform fight like people like to do.
I think its reasonable to share experiences and who knows it may be causing most of the issue, iv played different games that never had crossplay then had it added and had issues till they done additional fixes

Unless it’s an issue buried in the net code or game code, a simple idea would be to just give us a single platform based playlist each (one for Xbox and one for PC) with suitable telemetry tracking game data. As players we’d know pretty quickly if there was any improvement and 343i would have the data to act upon one way or another.

Yeah but thats effort on 343s part and there would be people that will moan and argue about it even if it was just for a short period to test it.

They can moan and argue all they like whilst kissing my -Yoink!-. We need the option for platform based crossplay to be disabled regardless of whether or not it helps the desync issue.

That is odd, because in my experience ranked crossplay tends to be a much better experience, albeit still bad, compared to ranked solo/duo.
I agree. I do much love playing over other FPS. But it feels like an unfair advantage with PC in the mix.
Desync, netcode, input advantages whether real or fake aside… crossplay should be optional.
The only reason there need be is that it’s what your players want.
There will never be parity between platforms. Stop trying to force it.
Console controller feels like -Yoink!-, and PC players pretty much have to play with controllers to compete. It’s 2022… you should be giving your players more options not less.

Hit reg is horrible against everyone for us. Though it does seem console has a tad bit better aim assist which doesn’t help.
if only there was a way for the player to toggle if they want to go against players on the same platform or not… i mean, other companies have looked into it. a shame 343 stopped devolopment on such a seemingly useful option… if only they were competent enough to think of the players instead of being overly greedy

It 100% is, I’ve been saying that to people since day 1. One day our faith will be rewarded.
Oh yeah, it’s way worse trying to have a fair fight against Console players. Half the time I have to make sure people aren’t just cheating. Their sidekicks spam faster and never miss, they eat more shots, they’re impossible to 4 shot with the BR if they’re moving at all, the works.
All playlists are ranked. The only thing that changes is the input, so even if youre on controller only input you still verse PC players and if you put mouse only you can still verse console players
There was gonna be one who is somehow saying an input gives an advantages and that causes the desync.
How about no. This isnt input or crossplay wars, its a discussion about desync and what we think is causing it
Crossplay definitely needs to be removed from stuff like Ranked.
Socials and Customs is whatever but if Crossplay is screwing with Ranked, it should be disabled for it, no ifs or buts.
Um no, if crossplay is causing issues it should be fixed regardless not just remove it for ranked.
I dont wanna fight desync every game even if its in a non ranked playlist thanks.
That’s nothing to do with platform based crossplay as you will be playing with and against players on both PC and console in both playlists.
it seems this can also a problem thanks to crossplay more.
so far the list off problems thanks to crossplay is going to be what longer and the hate about it is going to be more and more that people not like it.
