is there a way to eliminate pc players only on cross-play ?
Depends on the game. Some have it as an option, some are automatic. Some just force you to do it.

Call of Duty is an interesting one. If you play COD Mobile and play with a mouse and keyboard attached to your phone, it detects that and puts you in a separate matchmaking group. But full COD forces you to play with mouse and keyboard kids.

Man I'm just thinking, with all this GTA talk, how AWESOME would it be to have an epic map of GTA off all areas of the HD era combined? So front and centre is San Andreas. North of that, there's a long bridge that takes you to Liberty City, then south-east of San Andreas is another bridge that takes you to the new Vice City. I mean keep all the airports there and you can fly between the cities and play different missions as different characters etc. It would be so good.
...and look what's appear on Facebook lol. It's not official, but so worthy of being a GTA game!

This is outdated, pretty sure there's a leak from late December or early January

Is it an advantage to play with mouse and keyboard over just controller? Never really played anything on PC but the one time I did I didn't like it.

Yeah, it's definitely more accurate, but then you'll need to practice for a while before you get better with the mouse and keyboard.

Yet some mkb enthusiasts believe aim assist completely makes up for it and gives an unfair advantage over them :tearsofjoy:

Can be a massive advantage but also a disadvantage if you have poor reaction times as controls are more forgiving.

I played a few shooter games on PC back when I was a student. The biggest issue of have these days is that I have a laptop that's functional for anything else I want to do. But it's been twenty plus years since I've owned a computer that would run games well. So I've seen plenty of people who swear by PC for gaming. But unless you have specifically set up a gaming PC, you might need to upgrade your setup for gaming.

Yeah, if you want to game, you want a dedicated PC for it, good thing atleast is there is plenty of options for entry to top tier with pricing to match.

Consoles have the s advantage though if you want no fuss, plug and play and no OS to setup etc.
