I have been playing a lot of Big Action mod recently and have to ask my fellow players on PC to launch it, now before I would have accepted Sony, MS didn’t want browser or file explorer type functionality looking at their console directories (open to abuse?)
However, I now know that PC players just copy and paste a simple link into a mod section on customs, I also know PC doesn’t run the mod, they can start and leave. So in effect, it is no different for console players who can launch custom games and config them like now.
My question to devs, why can’t console players have the mod url added to their custom game functionality? I mean I can’t honestly see rhyme or reason as to why we cannot launch our own mods?
PC players can have luxury of editor that is fine, that is file manipulation, but launching mods isn’t???
Happy to hear other players thoughts, just keep on topic please.

As someone who is also on Console, I can feel the pain of what you are trying to say. It sucks, I know. Some Mods look really cool to play but you can’t host it. It’s frustrating sometimes. Heck even having some of those cool custom backgrounds is another thing too.
While I haven’t asked why this is the case, the only thing I can think of is something to do more on Sony’s/Microsoft’s part when it comes to your Enlisted account with some kind of grey area that’s not talked about?
I don’t know if we would get a proper answer and even if we did; chances are there be some kind of a very educated speculation that would hold some weight?
Quite truthfully I stopped questioning things when Sony or Microsoft is involved as a 3rd party to a scenario.
I get my clan to launch Big Action daily, wait for server to fill up and enjoy, but if you know the step (copy url into box which says add mod) and how straight forward it is is, it does raise questions.
Why devs have said we can’t have large battles, when I can play with over 50 players and squads is base game so small, if the same Big Action was a main game option, the amount of people who would play it and spend money on premiums, gold and camos would still make Gaijin money.
Anyway, I digressed, a copy url function is all PC players have, surely that is not impossible on console.
