@BAMozzy CoD WW2 had no crossplay and there were no issues getting games in all modes back then, even now you can get games on the main modes easy enough.
The reason it's an issue with the latest CoDs is because so many Xbox players now play with crossplay on, most Xbox players don't think of switching it off in the Xbox settings. Even when you switch it off through Xbox settings it still lets PC players in if they use an Xbox account, this situation is worse now that so many PC players are playing BOps 6 using Gamepass.
It is absolutely an advantage using M&K, that's exactly why the vast majority of PC players use that control method. If you aren't convinced, check the killcams in BOps 6 and watch the movement, a controller simply cannot compete even with aim assist.
Also check who tops the leaderboards on most crossplay games, it's nearly always PC Mouse players.
Even switching crossplay off in the Xbox system settings doesn't help, it excludes the PS players but still allows PC players when using their Xbox accounts. I check for PC players and then leave if there are too many simply because you have no chance of competing. Crossplay is awful, never had an issue getting games before it was brought in.
The original is a great headset but on mine the right side wheel cup snapped off. I've managed to glue it back on and it's functional, it falls off periodically and I have to glue it back.
It's happened to many others so maybe a build quality issue. That said I might buy this new one as I've had the current one a couple of years.
@BacklogBrad I'm not trying to convince you to agree with me, I simply gave my opinion which is shared by many. You only have to look at the top players in any crossplay CoD game, they are nearly always PC mouse and that's not a coincidence.
@BacklogBrad I know you can use a mouse with Xbox but the vast majority of Xbox players use a controller whereas the vast majority of PC players use a mouse.
Yes you can increase sensitivity settings for a controller but it's never gonna make the difference for using a mouse. I think most people agree that mouse and keyboard provides an advantage over Controller, just Google it. Of course if you are of the opinion that it's fair to put mouse players in with controller players then of course you are entitled to your view, I just don't agree.
@LonR Agree. Crossplay on CoD with PC/Mouse is just so unfair, even if they're not cheating they still have a massive advantage using a mouse because you really can't match their movement using a controller.
I hate crossplay for CoD so I switch it off in the Xbox settings, even then I still get PC players playing with their Xbox account, it's a joke.
I'd be fine with console only crossplay. I wish crossplay had never been added to CoD, had no problems getting games before crossplay and can get into games quickly enough in the older ones without crossplay.
Looking at the 'extras' that you get with the Vault edition I struggle to understand why anyone would think the upgrade is worth £30 but each to their own I guess. Some people clearly think it would be £30 well spent.
@NotoriousWhiz I would have thought for most family members in the same household this would not be a problem. Certainly I prefer to share my Ultimate Gamepass with my daughters rather than paying more. Each to their own I guess.
@NotoriousWhiz And providing I'm logged in to the Xbox that is not set as my Home Xbox, my other daughter can use Ultimate Gamepass too at the same time. If I'm not using the Xbox, both my daughters can play any Gamepass game and online using my membership.
@Tasuki You can already share Ultimate Gamepass with one other Xbox in the household. By making one of the Xbox the Home console and vice versa with another family member with an Xbox account. I share with my daughter in this way.

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Take Advantage Of Crossplay On Xbox?
@Tasuki
I just checked MW3 on Xbox and no such option exists.

We will just agree to disagree. Thanks

Are you saying there is a way to prevent mouse players joining a CoD lobby? I'd love to know how, please explain. Thanks

Re: Microsoft Wants To Introduce A 'Family Plan' For Xbox Game Pass
@NotoriousWhiz Yes I know, that's what I said. You can already share Ultimate Gamepass with ONE other Xbox.
Was just pointing it out. Obviously a family plan where you have 3 or more in one household would be a good option.
