Can PC play with console user in multiplayer?

Have my eye on a clan I wanna join, but they seem to play on PS.

No and they never will unless game controllers manage to attain the same level of precision as PC mouses. They've looked into this and the mouse's precision beats out anolog sticks every time.

Not sure about that I watched a clan match on I think a game called shadowrun where this was possible and console users won, they do have some advantages over keyboard/mouse users like being able to walk by just pressing the anolog stick gently which may not seem like much but when you take into account footsteps and high level play can be a big advantage. I know most pc games use ctrl to walk though, does crysis have this function?

^ Shadow Run had insane amounts of aim assist for console users (i.e. gave super-human aim), and even with that, it was common to see PC plaers far ahead of console gamers (also the game is dead now).

I did not know about the auto aim, thanks for that.

It's not just mouse precision. C2 has the speed and versatility to make the game completely different on a clumsy game pad.

I wish we could. The precision with a game pad is simply no match for keyboard and mouse. Console players would simply be easy kills for us (even with aim assist).

I think the PC users wouldnt have that much of an advantage. because with the game as it is, whover sees first kills, regardless of mouse or controller, so Console users could hold their own in crysis with stealth and armour, it isn't blops..

Microsoft made tests for their Xbox360 <-> PC compatibility. Average PC players crashed Veteran console players in every single game, not even a single draw was made.

So... erm.... even if it'd be possible - console people wouldn't be happy of that.
