El crossplay It is one of the best functions that the last generation left us. Thanks to this function, many players can play and interact with each other regardless of the platform they play from, thus allowing PC, Xbox, PS4, Switch and even mobile players to unite in a large number of available games. But in addition to joys, it has also brought displeasure.
Crossplay problems
One of the main problems with Crossplay is that in shooter-type games, PC users who play with keyboard and mouse will have a significant advantage in being able to aim and shoot faster. This gave rise to some games creating specific filters with which to avoid players with keyboard and mouse, something that we can find in Cold War y war zone.
The origin of the traps
In addition to the disadvantage of PC hardware (be careful, remember that on Xbox you can use a keyboard and mouse without problems), there is also another handicap to take into account, and that is that PC users will be able to modify the game files to install trainers. and illegal programs that allow auto-targeting to get automatic kills without breaking a sweat, something that is obviously completely prohibited and usually ends with the user's account being banned.
The problem is that, if a user with these types of advantages touches you in the game, the game becomes a nightmare and the game immediately loses its meaning, since you would be competing against a robot that is aiming directly at your head.
That's one of the main reasons why console users try to avoid PC users at all costs, although it's important to remember that Activision works hard to end this type of practice.
How to avoid Crossplay in Cold War
To avoid playing with players from PC and other platforms (if you play from Xbox you will not be able to play with people from PlayStation), you will have to disable this option (called Cross Play) in the Account and Network settings.
How to disable Crossplay in Warzone
Considering that with the release of Cold War, Warzone remains a standalone game, the network settings will also have to be configured independently within the Battle Royale mode. To do this, go to the settings and go to the Account tab to deactivate the Crossplay option.
What advantages and disadvantages will we have after deactivating it?
We have already discussed the advantages that you will find by deactivating the Crossplay function, and that is, if you feel a certain degree of disadvantage when playing with PC players, you can always avoid them by deactivating this function. On the other hand, you should take into account that by disabling Crossplay the games could take a little longer when it comes to gathering the necessary players to start the Battle Royale or a team duel on a certain map, so you will have to take this into account time to play a quick game.
