A XSX vs PS5 mode? What? What's wrong with consoles only? Is this mode like a fanboy mode?

I had no idea. But it was probably all Xbox?

Did you miss the great era of Sony “anti consumerism”, by officials and repeated by many a forum goers?

Nothing I suppose just thought console only would be the same, xbox vs xbox or PS vs PS.

You are welcome. How being able to play with native mouse+kb on PC that disable the snap-in assist is worse than the game on console?

I think you mis-remember. A lot of the outrage was for games like Fortnite where not only did they stop us playing together across platforms when MS was allowing it, but Sony also locked out players' purchases if they played on another platform just once. That's the shit people got mad about.
The crux is that if people want to play cross platform, why not allow it? But do let them opt out. 343 should allow us to opt out.

Nope. My rank is crap (gold) so it’s unlikely to be a problem at my level.

It's not because you can't download Aimbot and Radar/modern gamers call it Wall hacks.

Cross play should always only be ps and Xbox and opt in for PC. PC especially with f2p games is cancerous , it's just facts.

Am I missing something here?
1, The problem isn't Cross-play. Cross-play has more benefits than it does drawbacks.
2, Cheaters are the problem, and those who think only PC players cheat need to uppercut themselves.
3, Anti-cheat systems are also partially the problem. I refuse to believe a company serious about cheating cant find a way to stop/minimize it.
This is not a Sony vs MS thing. This is a problem with cheaters and the strategies to tackle cheating in FPS games.

PC gamers are always an easy scapegoat in these situations. Most of the people that think they are getting cheated on are just getting owned by kb/m players

and I did. We were playing together and thought something was off with one of the people we were facing. I went back and watched said player in the Theater and saw he was tracking people through walls, pre shooting around corners, and even no scope headshots with the sniper. It was pretty blatant

Sure, but cheating is also far more prevalent on PC than it is on consoles because it's much easier to do.

Still sucks for us on console since we used to not have to play with PC, where 99% of the cheaters are!
Before people say "just opt out"well why the fuck is non input based cross platform on by default? That gives the ILLUSION of being able to just opt out since the developer has effectively decided where the largest percentage of matchmaking populations are with that default setting.
This is a raw deal for console players on multiple levels. Oh so in "ranked mode" we get the option only? So unless we want to sweat it out we have to start every match at a disadvantage...great.

It's still in beta, and even though it's essentially content and feature complete, the ability to change the cross play option in the drop down on matchmaking currently only has 1 option in it. When the game goes full release on December 8 I'd say they'll likely enable the rest of the options in there.

Anyone comparing controls mods on console to the cheats and hacks on pc are off their rocker.
I remember in the 90's, I would watch my friend cheat in counter strike. Having no recoil ain't got shit on head tracking thru walls and unlimited range knifing.
Closet thing on console was playing Halo 2 on a modded Xbox vs other modded xboxs. Watching guns shoot out Spartans as bullets, then crouch and zoom away was a sight to behold.
I'm no fan of 343 is the slightest, but I'll at
least wait until the beta is over before calling the game extra trash.

To people saying cheaters on PC is a low number , google how many players Activision has banned in warzone over the years and how much of a headache and a fuckfest it is over there. It's literally in millions.Activision shadow bans them, hardware bans them still the problem persists

Phil Spencer: Sony is Blocking Minecraft Cross Platform Play
“We talk to Sony all the time,” Mr. Spencer told Gamespot. “With Minecraft on PlayStation, we have to be one of the biggest games on their platform in terms of sales and gameplay. Same with Nintendo. The relationship with Nintendo on this front has been strong. They’ve been great supporters and we continue to collaborate with them. But I think Sony’s view is different. They should talk about what their view is…”

Lol. No push at all by Uncle Phil....
His legions of clones parakeeted the crossplay doctrine for free on this site. You know the usual speil, anti-blah, blah, blah, while sucking off Microsoft for yet another turnaround narrative.

Heres a good example of aim assist in action. 90% of mouse gamers can't even do this shit. where are the aim assists options for people that aren't fast with mouses? oh wait don't exist.
Imagine posting this as something that is representative of aim assist on consoles. You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about!

Cross platform sucks ass. There was a huge drama surrounding it but I flick it off whenever I have the chance. And the reason is exactly this cheating bullshit.
Crossplatform between consoles only would be perfect in fact. But PC's with assists, macros and shit? no thanks.

Cross play is fantastic, but I agree it should be opt in. Cheaters are a massive issue and it's killed my desire to play online more frequently.
I'm not sure how they are going to combat AI aimbots going forward, progress there is happening faster than you might think. There's already videos of a xim or something with a computer running an AI aimbot calling the shots (literally) from the video feed, gonna need a better solution than just thinking it's a pc problem very soon.

Only if you care about stupid online pvp FPS games. There are far better genres to enjoy. I find the whole cheating drama in sweaty online fps games hilarious like it's a real issue lmao.
Do something better with your lives.

Yup, there was a push for popular games to be cross platform on consoles, with only Sony holding out, and even punishing people for logging on to other platforms with Fortnite.
But there’s nothing here about demanding PC crossplay, which is what this thread is discussing. Seems people are clamouring in this thread to point fingers at Xbox gamers and say ‘see this is all your fault’.
I’ve argued the case for cross-progression on all platforms, but not console/PC crossplay. Though ironically I’m the only one in my friend group playing Halo Infinite on console. I’m ok with it for Halo, but if the game is over run with cheaters then I’m out.

I've seen this. It's basically undetectable if done correctly. Soon AI is gonna play vs AI and we're just gonna watch.
I quoted the wrong guy and now I'm too lazy to change the quote. Sorry.

Pretty sure you ment me and yeh detection is gonna be interesting. At the moment activision seem to be sending lawyers after the creators, but it could backfire if these guys end up feeling they can't make money from their cheats and just dump all the software publicly online for free.
It's already happening, here is a ps5 with the video feed run into a pc so the pc can use AI for aim assist and changing weapon recoil patterns.
and for shits and giggles here's gta 5 using an AI aimbot against the AI

I've had a few times over the weekend that I thought for sure someone was using AimBot. Hitting headshots as soon as you come around corners. Like instantly and there was no way they knew I was there.

Only two responses so far?
Of course, this isn't scientific, but my point is that much of this comes off as either confirmation bias or cognitive dissonance.
Unfortunately, there really isn't any data to support the argument that cheating is more pervasive in cross-play. If there is, it's in the form of bans for cheating per active players, and I would presume devs have access to that data.

i've run into plenty of aim-assist scrubs. they don't bother with the AR, no point when you can hit every single pistol shot
