Not really as most the players are on PC anyway, crossplay will just keep the dying console side up for a few more months at most, but lets face it like many games on both console and PC the console side is dying while the PC side lives on and well.
This is very much what needs to happen, IMO, but these developers give me no reason to believe that’s going to happen. They just don’t do that, and never have. Instead they simply continue to roll this turd in more sugar, add sprinkles and frosting, etc…or rather that’s what they used to do.
That new cab is not sugar, but is another melee turd this game very much did not need. That’s not sweetening this game at all. It’s what currently makes the game in low power-scores suck. More of that spread into higher power-scores is not likely to improve anything, but instead make a wider range of players miserable too…so, welcome to the party.
It’s not fun. I’ve had fun before. I know what it feels like, and I’m absolutely certain it’s not anywhere near melee truckers. IDK WTF they were thinking with that, and this new update basically boils down to that cab, doesn’t it? There is no battle pass. No new map. Just this awful, poorly re-skinned trucker cab, tuned-up to accommodate some of the worst game-play Crossout has to offer, and a brawl? Neat. Am I missing something? My sense of humor? Ya, probably.
Maybe you guys in the balcony will deal with it better than us kids in the cheap seats do. IDK. Hovers won’t find it very threatening, I suppose, but this cab is in no way a game sweetener, IMO. It’s highlighting one of the worst aspects of this game, and I think that it’s a disappointing revelation to see these developers appear so oblivious. Bummer.
I guess the new turd-mobile will encourage more players to leave the ground game entirely, and pursue the new flying feature. That’s definitely going to be a permanent thing. It’s the whole reason for the last update to the controls. It’s baked in now, and these copters will not be simply a temporary brawl. They’ve rearranged the entire game’s mechanics to make way for this feature, and I can’t see them just tossing it to the dust-bin, even if it has major bugs and balance issues, which I’m sure it will have. That’s just the routine.
I think the flying gimmick has great potential as a new permanent feature, and maybe they should also allow Boosters to be rotated, so we can build other types of flying things too. Personally, I think it would be fun for raids, or breathing new life into Adventure mode, but I don’t see it balanced well outside of a brawl or PVE. Allowing it into PVP will require a separate mode, like they have with War Thunder. Otherwise, people playing on ground vehicles will just get pwnd.
They could also change the objectives in PVP to make ground vehicles more competitive against the incoming plague of flying Ultra-META, but they ruined that potential with this stupid new cab, so whatever.
I’m going to need some help to see this game more positively in the future, I think. I’m already struggling to enjoy it, and this new garbage cab doesn’t give me much hope, or faith in this team of developers. Maybe the flying thing will work out better than I expect, but even if it does, it’s not what I came to play Crossout for. I came for the Thunderdome, and that’s over, I guess. It was a schit-ton of fun while it lasted.
If you can help me feel more positive about this game’s future, that’d be great. What am I missing? Stronger coffee? I used to really like to play it, and still want to enjoy it, but I don’t, and this update doesn’t improve my outlook any. It was a long wait, and ultimately looks disappointing.
but why ramming? while they just made ramming that tonnage update where we can’t move because of wedges?

My guess would be so it doesn’t need to be activated via active melee dmg. Any player can activate it then and nab that 25% dmg bonus. I think they are able to micro manage the collision dmg on different parts too.
News flash, console makes more money then PC.
It has been mentioned by the dev team that console is Crossouts biggest market share.
You got all these broke guys on 10 year old PCs without any money.
That actually explains a lot, I think.
I’ve never been a big enough fan of video games to actually ever own a console for anything. Ever. I had pong when it came out, but didn’t find Atari amusing, nor did I spend much money at the arcade. I liked pinball, darts, and pool a little, but this video game era was entirely uninteresting to me, until Skyrim came along, and I only like that for it’s Creation Kit…which is what brings me to this game; it’s creative engine.
That creativity appears to be getting replaced by arcade style pre-programmed commercial content that probably is more in line with what console players are into than I am. This game is getting closer to a slot machine than anything I’m going to find amusing. I’m looking for a creative outlet, and that’s not where this game is heading. It’s where it’s leaving from, and it’s where we’ll part ways.
I’ve never enjoyed a video game more than I have this one, I think, and it’s hard to even want to just move on, but this isn’t doing it for me anymore. The fire has died. It’s time for me to get a divorce from this game, probably. At least I won’t have to pay child support, but I really don’t know what I’m going to waste my life on now. I don’t have any new love lined up.
This development is giving me the blues.
Crossout: The best game I ever hated.

That’s not true…it’s mobile phones,PC,then consoles…
you can’t plug ur phone into a console,can you?unless your recharging it! 
First off 
great to see you in the forums Doc!
Second - Try the game “Space Engineers”
Third my rant lol… not really directed to you personally.
Console (for the most part) is just the games you have on PC. Gameplay in most cases is identical except for the UI and we use a controller (Xbox also support mouse and keyboard).
It’s always weird to me that many PC players don’t even realize how good modern consoles are. I’m pretty sure my Xbox series X with a mouse and keyboard is 10 times the gaming PC 90% of these guys have.

We are only talking about Crossout. Not all games.
The dev team had an interview on a Russian gaming website and mentioned that their console
Market is the largest market share. This would be Xbox + PS. So yes the PC platform has more people in one place. But Xbox and PS make more money combined.
Why the hell not? That’s a brilliant idea, I think; a dock for your cell-phone-god to port content into a grown-up platform would be pretty keen, probably. I don’t do cell phones, or phones at all, so IDGAF personally, but it it strikes me as a very marketable idea.
They don’t already have this?
Well… you can kind of.
At least on Xbox, I can play my Xbox games on my cellphone with streaming.
Well it’s even more then just being able to play the games on my phone. I can control my Xbox with my phone. Manage downloads, set my personal setting, text, voice chat, play games, everything my Xbox can do, but on my phone.
the Power of the PC,vs Console.this is a no brainier.
you can’t do anything on xbox or PlayStation,you just buy games.
PC-umm we can script files,make mods for anything,make maps for anything.
use our phones to transfer data,ect ect.but what do i know?
I’m glad you added this, you obviously don’t understand.
We are not talking about a console doing the job of a PC, we are talking about a console playing games and many of the game are just the same game you play on PC and we even play with PC players.
And as far as games go, most peoples PCs don’t have as much power as an Xbox One X. Now I know you have the top tier dude with crazy PCs, but if your building one of those to play Crossout then your 100% nuts.
like the 2 turds on the stream who didn’t know where, they where trying to explain a pro-pel-ler not a prop-ul-ar.is who you take advive from?

My son got some kind of console recently, and I do find it impressive, but again it’s not much for creativity as far as I can tell. I’m not aware if Skyrim or Fallout has a Creation kit for it, and I get the impression game developers don’t lean into that kind of thing for consoles since the mouse and keyboard aren’t as commonly accommodated. The game development for consoles doesn’t appear to go in that direction very naturally. If it did, I might consider a console. The internet is another thing I’m finding less amusing these days and could very likely do without if things keep heading in the direction they are.
I like to create music (I play a couple instruments, can sing a little), and the only other thing I like computer technology for (besides reading the news and watching pirate TV) is reducing the enormity of recording equipment into a nice tiny and convenient micro-studio. If I could get an XBox to do that, I might just ditch this PC.
I haven’t really written or performed much of anything in maybe a decade, and that song’s probably at least 15 years old. I still play guitar a lot, and I got a new Taylor acoustic recently, so maybe it’s time to get back into it. It’s probably more constructive than wasting all the time I spend on this game.
EDIT: My song profile for that one at Soundcloud says I recorded that in 2007.
They never said that. They said they hope its sometime next year.
U think people who play console games dont play pc games? Wtf?
I really hope they manage cross play next year. I want 8v8 back on console, and I want to see the metas of the various platforms collide.
Thats not even a promise it will be next year.
It’s a we “hope”
I get you man, but until it is in game they are liars.
