Crossplay Is the End of Arma

Arma 4 will Never Ever be close to Arma 3 if they continue with Crossplay.

Consoles just wont be able to handle a big detailed map, with every type of military weaponry you could think of and they all have workable and usable animations.
I understand they want more players and money but i think its a HUGE sacrifice.

it's funny, because I can't tell the difference between a console player and an arma player; they both suck. ggez

Crossplay was fine until they brought in PlayStation players. Now i can barely leave spawn without getting teamkilled for my kit or having my vehicle stolen

The issue is having to optimize the game for consoles. Off the top of my head, Reforger does not have automatic weapon stabilization and lacks the body stances from Arma 3 because of "performance issues." Their own servers can only handle 50-player Everon games because they know the game is not stable with more players. (Or they're too cheap to pay for better official servers kind of like their ddos protection.)

Because of crossplay servers need to be connected to BI's backend to operate. There are ways around it, but it's not as simple as other games. There's also the removal of Steam Workshop support for their Workshop. While Steam Workshop has it's issues, their Workshop is terrible with stalled, failed, and slow downloads.

I hope I and this thread are wrong and they do not consolize the game further with Arma 4.

You can be certain that Arma 4 is going to be multi platform, and cross play just like reforger, people just need to except it.

What makes you think consoles can't handle it? They handle reforger and much more demanding games.
