Before you read half of this and then say the same thing someone else already has 20 times: the point it all leads to is that there should be console only crossplay. consoles and pcs arent equal. Pcs have advantages over console. They're small but there. The little things make a big difference. Fov being one. They just arent equal. Never have been and wont be any time soon if ever. So dont force crossplay between consoles and pcs unless they're all gonna have the same options. They can't have the same options though. So have console only crossplay and then have the option of cross play with pc. And pc players shouldn't be forced to play with console players either since they think aim assist is op (even though you can just use a controller if you think that because its a controller advantage not a console advantage). That way everyone is on an equal playing field and this fov thing won't be a problem

......................................................................................

And people say it doesn't give an advantage

I dont see why console cant just get an fov option. Even if its not that big of an advantage, and a high fov has some downsides, why cant we just be equal and have the same options. Battlefied and many other games have fov sliders on console and it works just fine.

Edit: yes i am very aware of the downsides to a high fov. But its really only when you crank the shit up to 120°. Barley anyone plays on 120 fov though because it looks insane. Poeple do play on 90 - 100 fov though. there are undeniable advantages with that and the problems like smaller targets arent nearly as bad as 120 fov. Some people play better with a high fov and some people play better with a lower/default fov. You have to weigh out the negatives and positives to figure out if you want a high fov. Console players should be able to make that decision too.

Edit 2: None of this would even be an issue if i could turn crossplay off on all modes and be able to play with my xbox friends. console players should have the same options as pc if they're gonna be forced to play together. Someone with a lower end pc that couldn't handle the fov on mw can just tinker with and lower their graphics settings to have better performance and be able run at a higher fov. If they're gonna force me to play with someone that has more options and a machine thats 10 times better than mine in every way, then i should be able to lower my graphics settings to have better performance and change fov. I dont give a shit about how many hairs captain price has in his ass crack or how much graphical fidelity is in the dirt. I want to be able to choose performance over grahpics if i have to play against someone that has way better fps and performance than me

A way easier fix to the problem would be to just let us turn off crossplay on all the modes. Give us the option of no crossplay, console only crossplay or crossplay between all platforms. Then no one would be complaining. Chill with the crossplay until it works. 2013 console hardware does not compete with pcs, so dont force me to play against them. And yeah aim assist can be op against someone that isnt good with a mouse. But pc players can just use a controller if they think aim assist is op. Console players cant turn up their fov though

And "just get a pc then" isnt a solution. When i got my ps4, crossplay wasnt even a thing. I didnt get it thinking i would have to play against people with machines 10 times better than mine. Not to mention everything ive ever done in gaming is on my console. Hundreds of games and thousands of hours. I shouldnt need a pc just to be equal with my competitors. I should be able to play against other console players and console players only like i always have

People forget that putting on 120 FOV makes your target the size of a pea, I play PC and I put my FOV at 90 simply so I can actually hit shots easier

I think everyone knows at this point. As a PC player it’s astonishing just watching people miss people running on the side of their screen.
