XBox - PC / Mac and CQC

shadragon · Jun 20, 2015

I know the XBox players won't share the same instance as PC / Mac players, but will they share one in CQC as this is a separate mode?

Probably not since the PC players have access to x52 pro flight sticks, OCCULUS RIFT, track ir and custom keybindings.

Xbone players get an Xbox controler and stacked buttons with no remapping.

Do you think it would be a fair balance?

Lol

Before we can play CQC with console players we have to get this features on our pc's. Look like the consoles are now a step ahead until we get this update.

Highly doubt it. MS doesn't like to play with others. They're the reason we don't share the same universe, not the technology. Also, if there's any chance that Green and Blue could end up playing together, they'd probably hack NORAD and launch everything to prevent it.

Normal crossplay still hasn't been ruled out as Braben mentioned it in the twitch stream he did a couple of days ago.

Microsoft is pushing crossplay with Win 10. The main reasons against it in the past has always been fps related due to kb/m players destroying console players.

The last time crossplay was available on console and pc was quake 3 back on dreamcast and the 1.16 Q3 patch

I don't want crossplay to ever happen.

Reason #3: because the xbox and PC versions would have to be synced and with Microsofts 3-4 week patch processing, it would slow down patches for us too as we'd have to wait for their version to hit before getting ours.

FD mentioned that is crossplay were to happen it would be stopped on pc patches and then re opened with the xbox patches so it wouldn't hold back pc development.

I personally want crossplay as it'll mean more players in the galaxy.
