As long as I can turn off cross-play, you've got a deal. The original was a great time until PC players, through m&k and/or aimbots, made it less fun for the console player.
(And if you're about to jump in and tell me you were a console player who dominated: that's great for you and neither of our experiences is everyone's experience)
As a pc player who cross plays games with my buddy on Xbox I’d offer that aimbots are much less common than you think, a mouse is just a much more precise input.
I get called a hacker constantly by people on console. I’m not even that good these days.
I’m moving my mouse a distance on a surface with a repeatable result. I can aim at parts of the screen with my eyes closed because of where my mouse is moved, I can recalibrate its center dynamically (pick it up and place it down) and I can adjust its sensitivity far better than any controller could. I can throw it two feet across my desk and know it’s going to move a specific amount on screen. A joystick doesn’t provide the same level of sensitivity because it’s on a fixed platform and has a fixed travel distance.
I can snap my crosshair on a specific spot in a millisecond, I can stop on a dime without any drift.
Chances are unless the aimbotting is obvious and overt you’re just playing against someone good. There’s a reason we tend to not get aim assist with mouse and keyboard.
Yes cheating exists. 100% I agree. But it’s not as common as people think, and if the amount I get called a hacker is translatable out to the world at large there are a LOT of us getting called hackers just for having better inputs
You can definitely tell when someone is using a controller or mouse & keyboard.
For sure, but a lot of people can’t tell the difference between my muscle memory and an aimbot when their frame of reference is how a controller moves”
From all the fps games a fast paced arena shooter is probably the one where mouse and keyboard has the biggest advantage over controllers.
Cross-input matchmaking should be off by default unless your party has mixed inputs in which case you should be placed in MnK lobbies.
