Not only that. But there's no Xbox Play Anywhere OR Cross platform play with Xbox and PC.

This is whats most confusing to me. The basis is there, all they need to do is basically enable it.

Can we please have activision go bankrupt and Blizz get bought by a decent company?

Blizzard ain't any better.

Team Fortress 2.25 isn't great if that's where we wind up.

Angry joe's channel showed a max user base of 15K. Hilarious.

 

The MP looked like copy/paste but perhaps the SP is worth a play when it's on sale.

 

Even War Thunder has more than that every day.

Nope. Overwatch is a better game. I say this as someone who used to play tf2 religiously.

Hold up, you were actually thinking about buying a COD game for multiplayer? Lol the whole game (except zombies) is the same thing as the last, bad campaign, extremely repetitive multiplayer, large community of irritating kids, something called camping+traps (claymore, bouncing Betty, shock thing). 

 

The only good good thing to COD is zombies, they make interesting new improvements through each game and it's dlc is actually worthwhile.

 

and battlefield 1 is far superior as far as multiplayer and campaign is a nice improvement over COD's. Honestly there shouldn't have been a question wether or not you should be COD over bf1 lol

 

Titanfall 2 is also very good. Better campaign than battlefield.

Just a lot closer to the speed of CoD (if not even faster), where BF1's pace is very different. I like and own both (BF1 and TF2), just if you are looking for a replacement for CoD, go for the game was made by the devs of COD:4.... (Titanfall 2).

From what I've read it seems that activision just used Steam's & Microsoft own multiplayer code and didn't bother creating their own which could of easily supported cross play.

Even then... they use Peer to Peer. There's literally no reason for it not to work. The worse is you're still vulnerable to ddos and hacks and they cant even be asked to make multiplayer work lol.

Blizzard should be separate in the first place as they develop as well as publish while Activision just publishes.

Activision owns several studios that develop games and Blizzard has different, large, teams that develop games under the Blizzard name. Functionally, there is zero difference between the two.

Titanfall 2's biggest problem is being published by EA and EA being completely moronic with the game's release date. I'll be surprised if Titanfall 2 can keep a strong player base for any reasonable length of time. It's looking like it's destined to turn into the first game, only this one actually seems to be a full game and actually worth it's $60 price.

"When it's on sale" With Activision that's a tall order lately: You have to go all the way back to Modern Warfare 2 to find a decent priced CoD and one that goes on sale frequently.

Yea and MW2 was the end of COD as I know it. Private servers... go bye bye....

Actually, Microsoft allows one digital purchase refund per calendar year.

 

I refunded my Forza Horizon 3 after I realized how awful it ran when trying to go past 30FPS.

Seriously though we all knew from the previous information that Activision was 100% at fault for the divided pc platform. this is further icing on that cake.

Blizzard and Activision are a match made in heaven.

I thought they already added 21:9 support.

[YamiYukiSenpai]

I find it extremely weird for this game to not support multiplayer between all PC gamers, no matter which platform.

 

Activision is being lazy.

Had it in beta, haven't added it yet. StarCraft2 still doesn't have it either.
