On the back of MW crossplay beta success, adding this would well and truly bring the battlefront communities together.

Most if not all future multiplayer games coming out will more then likely make this a standatd feature. So if we aren't getting another BF game for another 2 to maybe 3 years. Then adding it then will be old news.

So I see it be far more beneficial to setup and test it out in this game. It would be a good test platform for the Frostbite engine to see how it handles crossplay as I'm sure the next Battlefield title game would want to launch with crossplay as a feature too.

So Ben is this something DICE has thought about?

Thought about? Yes. On our plans for the near future? Afraid not.

We are very much looking forward to the day this becomes a gaming standard.

Thank for your reply Ben.

Just for my own knowledge, what stops developers from being able to do this?

Is it an internal cost for development or do you have pay royalties or licencing fees to MS and Sony?

Or is it as most suggest, Sony is just selective of what games they allow it to happen for?

I guess once the Playstation Network is hosted by MS data centers, that will remove some of the barriers.

Multiple things. It's more complex if your MP wasn't setup with this in mind. I won't go into the whole first party element.

I might be able to get into an Ewok hunt lobby on PC one day if cross platform ever makes it. Such a good game mode I wish I could play more. Especially now that Halloween is near!

I guess y’all Could make it a weekend event in October?

Weekend event? Sounds like a good idea.

How about a lights out Event like last year but with ewok hunt lighting and flashlights enabled on all maps?

Re-doing lighting is more than just adjusting a slider towards darkness :)
