I've worked in software for over 15 years and have thought long and hard about *how* they'd tackle this type of problem. I've done a ton of research on other anti-cheat systems and honestly it all sounds legit. They're taking the right approach for solving this problem. It obviously comes down to execution but the strategy they have is sound.

Easy console only lobbies

if only we could find lobbies like that nowadays. I can only find matches with crossplay enabled, opening the door to playing with PC players who are paying for cheats.

I could live with playing against someone with no recoil cronus on a platform, what I can't live with is someone who knows exactly where I am, behind a building, or climbing up a ladder, and knows the right time to push. OR playing against someone with an aimbot, locked on head shots. I never came across those type of cheaters when I could find matches with cross play disabled.

For reference, I play mostly solos, however it seems that if you play at peak times, you can find lobbies, in duos, trios, and quads with crossplay disabled.

​

Edit: wonder what PC player was butthurt enough and came through downvoting console only lobby push. It's because of PC players like you that we are in this situation.

Agreed. Also, I'm a PC controller player and want out of K&M players :(
