  1. Keyboard users should be PROHIBITED from playing against controller users


    Microsoft needs to completely ban mouse and keyboards for online multiplayer if you use a console, and/or if you're playing with other people on console that use a controller. What exactly is the motivation for Microsoft to allow this? To gain a bigger playerbase?
    Let me tell you what, Microsoft: mouse and keyboard completely eliminates the niche that consoles have. If I wanted to play with mouse and keyboard, I'd play on PC. I BOUGHT an xbox one x and xbox live to use a CONTROLLER. If I'm playing against people who
    are obviously are using mouse, it RUINS the fun and makes me stop playing.

    For example in COD: Sometimes I'll get in an absurdly sweaty TDM lobby that is almost unbelieveable how good they are. No matter how many of my teamates quit, nobody that replaces them has the slightest chance. If I quit the game, I'm penalized for it. So
    I have to play through til the end, barely going positive, and yes I'm #1 on the team and I'm not even some amazing player, but I typically go 1.5-2.5 KD. Then suddenly I can barely hold a 1.0 as the team leader, and most other teamates are sitting at 0.5,
    0.3, 0.12, .0.08 and below? It's so obvious that the enemy team is using mouse and keyboard from the killcams. Sure, there will be sometimes on controller where I have god-like accuracy, but the consistency that these guys show with their quick laser accuracy
    is so obviously an unfair advantage from keyboards. And how cowardly you must be to ruin the experience of people on consoles, by using keyboard. You think it's fun because you win and therefore you're good? You're not good, you're just shooting fish in a
    barrel. Congrats, you got a fish, but you didn't earn it.

    Microsoft: You can't have it both ways. Mouse and keyboard players make consoles obsolete, because that's one of the few critical differences between PC and console. If you remove that distinction, what's the point of console? Why would I keep playing
    on console? Does Microsoft want to sell their controllers? Why would I buy a controller anymore? And why would I limit myself using microsoft-approved approved mouse and keyboards, when I can just get a gaming PC and have many more aftermarket options?

    Microsoft is literally disrupting it's own market, it's amazing that they would shoot themselves in the foot like that. Do any corporate people actually play xbox? It's like they have no idea how it affects players. Sure, you might have had a short term
    boost on the stock market because of the increased playerbase, but it's an entirely foolish long-term strategy.

    To be clear guys, I don't have anything against mouse and keyboards on xbox. It is the fact that they are mixing controller players with keyboard users, that I have a problem with. AND It should NOT be up to game publishers to decide what they allow... Microsoft
    should ban the mixing of these playerbases entirely, because it ruins the online console experience with a controller (which is what microsoft provides with the xbox purchase!!!), no matter what game it is. It's truly a spectacular case-study of disconnected
    corporate managers that have no idea what makes customers happy. The ignorance is mind-blowing. Must be hard to care when you make millions though. But mark my words, the success of xbox won't last much longer if they don't implement changes quick!

    Meh, it's no big deal. I couldn't care less one way or the other.

    I happen to agree with you there. I hated my experience with Overwatch on PC and seeing what the result was for the aggressiveness is the keyboard and mouse. Glad the Xbox One version is controller only.

    Your best bet would be to submit feedback at Xbox Ideas

    It's not Microsoft making that call - it's 100% on the people making the game, in this case, Activision.

    Cross platform game play does have some challenges. I recommend submitting feedback suggestions to both Xbox and the developer(s) of the games you are playing that are cross platform. Hopefully we can see some features added in the future that will give
    us some choices.

    Best wishes,
