Caught up in the throes of Warzone’s fast-paced, adrenaline-packed matches, players attempt to grab a breather by turning off crossplay. However, they find themselves stuck in a matchmaking limbo.

Summary

  • Players find longer wait times while attempting to find matches with cross play turned off.
  • Many have ultimately decided to revert to cross play, finding the matchmaking wait untenable.
  • Some foresee this difficulty in finding matches worsening over time.

The Waiting Game

Users like G_Hause have noticed that gameplay comes to a near standstill with the decision to turn off crossplay. As the “controller and headset have gone to sleep,” they join others like coffee_collection who tried the same maneuver only to discover that after “about an hour of trying,” they still “could not find a game.”

An Unfortunate Forewarning

A user by the name of CodGodOG chimed in too, saying that he had “warned” about such outcomes, perhaps highlighting the community’s familiarity with this issue. We certainly appreciate the brotherly love, CodGodOG!

Forced to Face the Sweats

Interestingly, TheLilChungus adds further commentary on the issue, observing that turning off cross play lands one in a situation where they’re “never getting into a game.” According to him, it appears that this decision might be forcing players to “play with all the PC sweaty losers,” which isn’t ideal for anyone’s online gaming experience – except maybe the sweats themselves!

While the option to turn off cross play might seem like a quick fix to avoiding mixed-platform dynamos, it appears to lead to more frustration as lobbies become ghost towns. Though some try to power on in this void, it seems the daunting wait times have most players eventually toggling cross play back on. All in all, for those considering a cross play off adventure, maybe get yourself a comfy chair and some popcorn. You may be in it for the long haul!
