Infinity Ward dev explains how Modern Warfare cross-play will work

Call of Duty fans will be able to take on everybody, regardless of console.

Thundercat772526d ago

There must be an in-game option to turn crossplay off. The developer cannot force crossplay on people

Let the gamer decide if they want to use crossplay or not. I will totally put it off.

Hes right using a keyboard and mouse over console players gives PC gamers an advantage

SyntheticForm2526d ago (Edited 2526d ago )

@ Falcon.

READ. THE. ARTICLE.

The developer confirms that this won't happen.

"The developer linked an article from Forbes which stated that players will only do battle with their respective input - controller vs controller and keyboard + mouse against keyboard + mouse."

He's not right - he's wrong.

Shit, you'd think someone would want to read the explanation from the developer instead of simply reacting to a headline, but I guess not.

gammaray132526d ago

thats so true, we all know that PC players hack and cheat so that is a unfair advantage

Hungryalpaca2525d ago

You need to lay off the propaganda.

PMind2525d ago

Ah yes, just as we know all console players live in their mother's basement.

Gravesinger_2525d ago

Hahaha you peasants are too much

frostypants2525d ago (Edited 2525d ago )

Can't believe anyone is denying that hacking is a massive issue on PC. I game on PC and console but only play competitive FPS on console because hacking on PC IS SO BAD. Anyone who denies console has far less cheating is lying or willfully ignorant.

What is the issue with playing with other people from other console?

ApocalypseShadow2526d ago (Edited 2526d ago )

What is the issue of him not wanting to or having the option to not having to?

He might not want to deal with the increased nonsense you know will be there from cross play beyond the current online nonsense he has to deal with on one console already.

King_Noctis2526d ago (Edited 2526d ago )

I wonder then, what kind of nonsense will he deal with when he goes online with crossplay? If he need his own “safe” space then why not go online in the first place?

ApocalypseShadow2525d ago (Edited 2525d ago )

It's not about safe space. It's about unnecessary stupidity. You know what I mean. The fan wars across consoles would heat up. He's not interested and wants no part in it.

Deal with it. The only reason we talk about cross play is because other consoles lack enough players and Microsoft wants in on Sony's success and player counts.

rainslacker2525d ago

So glad we're getting to the point where we can move on from the cross play controversy and focus in on the actual way it would/should work.

Livingthedream2525d ago

@Apocalypse the fanboyism doesn't really come into play when you're playing in a team,it's more of an online forum issue, if you're doing crossplay you're probably playing with friends. Plus you don't really hear enemies when playing.

Completely agree with you. We need an option to turn cross play off. They say that you will not be paired up with keyboard and mouse users on PC. Sure, do they think we were born yesterday? The most cheaters are on PC and they will hack the shit out of the game and will always have the advantage. I see this as an attempt to populate the online servers for Xbox users by the way. Interestingly enough, when Xbox had the lead last gen, there was no word on crossplay. All of a sudden, it's THE most important issue in gaming. I say, let PC cheaters play against PC cheaters, xbox gamers against xbox gamers and PS gamers against PS gamers.

If you think that online is horrible right now with all the hate, just wait until you get and xbox gamer, PS gamer and PC cheater in the same game.

Crossplay is not good for gamers.

TheRacingX2526d ago

A. I doubt its being done to populate Xbox servers , You can ALWAYS find a game even on COD 2 for X360
B. There is cheating on Xbox AND PS....seen it firsthand on both....
C. Devs need to police these games more to find and seriously BAN cheaters.... there are ways to do it , they just dont want to spend the money to do so...

SyntheticForm2525d ago (Edited 2525d ago )

"I see this as an attempt to populate the online servers for Xbox users by the way."

What do you use to 'see' with? It's as easy to find games on Xbox Live as it is on PSN. The user base may be lower on Xbox Live, but it isn't 'THAT' low - you're being dramatic.

You're trying to paint cross-play as remedy for what you think is a severely small Xbox Live user base, when in reality, this isn't the case at all - not even close.

Cross-play is 'fine' for gamers.

blacktiger2525d ago

They do have option, like fortnite,

akbennyewu2525d ago

Let's not read the article and instead jump to conclusions!!!!!!!

RomanPSX2525d ago

I will like that option only when related to PC. Console vs PC players yes. Console vs Console I dont care.

It's gonna suck when all the cheating PC elitests get on against console users.

And op said cheaters.
You just do a xim connector
The pc thinks you are using a controller.

@ Solid

Like many, you're too presumptuous. You 'may' (and I mean may) be correct, but anything you've thought of Infinity Ward have already thought of. They're way ahead of you. This isn't to say we should blindly accept everything, but they're developers, and you're, well, an armchair commenter.

Razzer2526d ago

Planning your excuses ahead of time, huh?

Vegamyster2526d ago (Edited 2526d ago )

I like how people are acting like it's a massive issue on PC when it's not, you could play for 20+ hours before seeing one cheater, never mind that CoD on console have cheaters as well because the devs don't care or people using M&KB.

Razzer2525d ago

@Vegamyster

It is absurd. Some people here like to believe PC gamers are nothing but script kiddies who are installing mods to cheat in games when they are not pirating every game ever made. The vast majority of PC gamers are just gamers like everyone else, but they prefer PC. Game publishers would not even bother with PC games if cheating an piracy were as commonplace as some here would have others believe. The amount of ignorance about PC gamers from a lot of console gamers would be hilarious if it were not so pathetic.

Livingthedream2525d ago

Not every PC player is a cheater lol, and not all of them are good players either therss many that are trash players lol

Hungryalpaca2525d ago

I’ve seen more cheaters in previous cod games on 360 than I have in my years on pc. You people really are silly.

I would still wait for official confirmation of cross-play between PS and Xbox though. It's easy to jump the gun without enough info.

Razzer2526d ago (Edited 2526d ago )

How is that not official confirmation? It is coming directly from Infinity Ward.

boing12525d ago

I'll do you one better. How is that an official confirmation of that particular cross-play setup? 'everybody play with everybody play with everybody...'
This can mean anything. Wouldn't a more precise statement like 'Yes, PS users will finally be able to play with Xbox users' be better and clearer? Why so cryptic then? Now, I'm not saying console cross-play won't happen but how many times a 'developer' tweeted something just to have it debunked by the studio the very next day.

Razzer2525d ago (Edited 2525d ago )

You forgot to "do me one better", but whatever. Capen answered the question:

"Can you clarify more on cross play? Will this be console to PC only, or will Xbox be able to play with PS4 as well?"

"everybody play with everybody play with everybody =]"

No idea why you think that isn't confirmation. That's fine though. You want to doubt it then doubt it. It is what it is.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio3d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing3d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster923d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit3d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing3d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster923d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
