Been playing it a bit more as I ended up getting it for free. The biggest issue apart from the atrocious sound design, is the obvious PC cross play cheating that's getting out of hand, every fourth game I'm getting lazored. It's got to the point I see some are asking for PC players to be removed altogether. Also the skill based matchmaking is horrendous. If I do well in a few games I'm matched to god knows who where in the world and my ping shoots up.

I have cross play turned off, but have for weeks.

SBMM is a pain, have a decent night and get punished.. sickens you right off lol

Picked this up when I had to isolate at the start of the pandemic and i still can't put it down. Lol.

Not sure I like the skill based matchmaking.

Freaking love the challenges but it's not good for my stats lol

I also don't mind the microtransactions.

The BP system seems really slow to level.

Playing on Xbox and I always seem to get grouped with people using K&B and mouse....

Single player campaign was amazing. Can't believe so many so called game journalist were looking parts removed and censorship.

Freaking loved the hard hitting nature of it.

Same as my user name, I'm on PS4 so will need to turn cross play back on.

Have many of you turned off cross play mode and if so, why?

Loads have, cheaters are starting to infect from the PC side. Turning cross play off on console stops you being placed in with PC players

Also turned it off. Got my first solo warzone win today had a few seconds too.

That's a shame because I have mates who are on pc and console and we buddy up and play together, never encountered any cheats so far.

That's why I've turned cross play off as well. It's good in theory but if the publisher doesn't do enough to combat cheaters then they shouldn't implement cross play in the first place.

They just banned 70k accounts...

Yeah after all the youtubers etc highlighted the hackers to them, they didn’t seem concerned before that.

There is literally no reason to enable cross play unless you want to play with friends on another platform.

Bigpig · 22 Apr 2020 at 17:48

Anyone who kill me I instantly call a cheat

Was on a right tear there clawing back that negative kill ratio!!!

Now after the server maintenance is over I'm going to get raped

snow patrol · 22 Apr 2020 at 18:13

i must admit, i've played over 100 games of warzone and never encountered someone i thought for sure was cheating. I have a feeling the issue is far more prevalent on american and asian / rest of world servers although i may be wrong on that. Either way, great to hear they've banned 70k accounts...that's a crazy number of hackers though!

That was the first sweep last month or longer. No idea what its at now.
I've seen a couple of suspected when I've had someone perfectly in my sights, they are running away then to instantly turn drop then drop me with two bullets.

The 70k was before even big youtubers started reporting how bad the problem. Cross play with consoles is fine. If we could just get rid of pc cross play and keep them away it would be sorted.

Not that it matters right now as servers are down.

I have cross play enabled as I generally find better suited games for my skill level playing on Xbox.

I back out if the lobby is full of PC towers and mice icons.

I take it that the PS icon is a TV screen and control pad?

thepigf@rmer · 22 Apr 2020 at 19:35

Still very much hooked on this, much to the wife's disappointment

I don't think I've come across any players from the forum as yet though. I generally play HC TDM & HC KC, Xbox (crossplay off)
