Will PS4 players be able to...
Play alongside PC players? Since it is a co-op game, the lack of mouse for them won't be a disadvantage against PC players, because they are not battling each other. Beside most of my friends own PS4 and if we can play together consider a large amount of purchases guaranteed

no.

Well, PS4 players would put a team at danger because they are handicapped by their controllers. Imagine playing Sharpshooter, SWAT or Commando with a controller, yeah, that's painful. So no crossplay.

There will be no crossplay between the PC and PS4. This allows for them to be balanced individually.

You really don't get it some game can be crossplay between the PC and Console but when comes to 1st person shooter and not going happing as it is better suited with mouse and keyboard not a game controller that req auto aim let not forget 3rd person shooter you should warch this video below on it which is what I cheating mode in some game, Also it be note that up to Sony on that so all whining will get you nothing any way go to Sony ask for the features and capabilities for it, Who know mayTWI will do an Xbox ver of it which has some crossplay supprt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7zoVIsIT2A

I don't care about technical aspects...I personally wouldn't mind carrying a 5 man ps4 squad trough some HoE maps by myself. I care about fun and games...There are plenty other games I play with them (I am the only PC gamer among the group) adn I'll keep doing that. If KF can't deliver that, is ok...I don't expect them to. That's all...

Crossplay would be the deal maker for many people. Too bad it is not on the way.

At least it will be balanced individually...
I know this might start a flame war, but the idea of dubbing down the difficulty on console should not require the pc variant to be identical. There have been several games in the past I've played on my own console or a friends' console and compared it to the pc counterpart. It just validates a few more specific facts on the argument of console vs pc, regardless of either way you decide to go with it...And I'm just going to leave it at that.

Thank you Tripwire for deciding to balance them individually. I still however oppose the lockbox and drop system, but thats another subject altogether which we won't get into here. Enjoy what you can, when you can.

If you don't about care about technical aspects then you shouldn't not be here whining becuase it not up to the developer as you need have balanced individually or console player will not play any they just whine of unfair play.
There are only a handfull of game that even come with crossplay support like Rocket League with PS4 good luck with that as Xbox has just a few more support games but there downside thoses which are not PC type game controller game there better around console controller and are 3rd person perspective.
Don't get me wrong I to would love see this happin to.

-I would love to see this happen as well, but I know it won't.

-Not sure why so many people are against this.

Apparently the PC "Elitists" don't want console "scrubs" in their games making the team lose.

It's really annoying how many PC players have an automatic mindset that a controller player=bad player. I'm not going to deny that a pro player that masters both controller and m+k will statistically get more efficient results than on a controller, but being good on a controller is a thing too. Like I use controller on the PC version and outperform others who use m+k. I just practice with controller a lot, it's my preferred method of gaming.

Edit:To clarify the "Elitists" and "scrub" air quotes so others don't get the wrong idea I said "elitists" because not every m+k player that complains or belittles consoles player are MLG and not every console "scrub" that plays on consoles are bad.

The difference is millimeter precision in regards to tracking and flicking. This is by and large why people assume that mindset for fps games. Hence the need to separate the two platforms.

Also on the contrary, the casual players is where the statistical efficiency is most evident as it's a much larger population. Though it can be said most casual players prefer console controllers as it's much easier to play on a couch with.

-Thanks for the edit, you came off a bit strongly at first. Haha. I usually just say some people. It is much less flamebaity. =P

-Anyway, people forget that there are already controller users playing KF2 on the PC. They don't even realize it. If there was cross platform play, I'm confident those people will still have no idea who is a m+k user and who is a controller user. Sure you can spectate them when you're dead, but you shouldn't be dead. ;] ;]

Any player can get good with any control input if he invests time and dedication. I would also like Crossplay Support.
I wouldent recommend any dev do cross-platform play ever considering the SCP [Sony Certification Process] and MCP [Microsofts version.] Will probably bleed you dry if all the planning around the differnt protocals and control set-ups have not mutated your game into a monstrosity and turned all your staff and possbliy yourself into souless husks first.

That and we still aren't sure the PS4 crowd will even really like KF2, I wouldent buy a wedding ring before the first date.

Maybe one day far into the feature cross-platform will be more viable but for right now it's really not, Microsoft has tried to take steps to this once they remembered they owned a OS but their attemps have been questionble at best.
