You realize queue times don’t change with players numbers, right?
Only player ratio changes the queues, if you have 1 billion players but 50% of them are DPS, queue times suck just as if you had 10000.

Never against crossplay, don’t get me wrong. Especially on Consoles - I have friends who play on Xbox or Playstation but I only have the resources to play on Switch: I can’t afford other consoles and I can’t play without Gyro (Blame 900+ hours of Splatoon 2). I would love crossplay.
But crossplay doesn’t fix queue times. You are adding more players into a single queue, this is true. That seems like it fixes the problem, but it really doesn’t. By combining the platforms together, you are not changing the ratio of DPS players to Support or Tank players. Therefore, queue times will not be much shorter at all for DPS players - they are still stacked in a line with the DPS players from four different console scenes. This sounds like it would help Tank/Support queue times - now there are more DPS players to line the others up with. However, they’re not the central issue.
Also, less related, but queue times on Switch have never been bad for me. Unless I was in a 5 or 6 stack, I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes for a game - even Competitive DPS.
I agree completely. I wish more games would do this, especially ones with matchmakers, ensuring most controller users are in the same brackets, for fairness.
Also do what Modernwarfare does and allow people the choice rather then force it.

Long queue times won’t be fixed with cross play .blizzard has done right thing instead by bringing open queue competitive .
What modern warfare has done has forced cross play on people .you can’t play war zone with cross play off and that has put off way more people .
Yep that is what I have observed too .not too mention the difference between FPS on pc and console will make matches a roll coaster .
N O
I get that we have aim assist but plat will become the new t500 for console players. We just cant compete with that. I’ve played on both pc and console for a while and trust me. This is a terrible idea.
cool, in normal multiplayer mode you can chose they probably should do that for warzone but don’t pretend it’s not an option.
Only put cross platform from console to PC if you are playing on a keyboard controller vs keyboard is a near impossible fight
