Ea did it with Apex Legends, so this is no surprise.
Will they also be missing out on microtransactions and quick time events??
I know the resounding opinion is “so?” but things like this are the only things that keep me on Windows, sadly. My squad plays Warzone, and may play this. At the very least, when I upgrade I’ll probably dual boot, but this is still dumb to me. You’d think the Steam Deck would encourage people. Ah well.
It’ll probably be unplayable on most systems for the first 6 months if the last few battlefield releases are anything to go by 😂
That’s fine, lots of others games to choose from.
Dang I was really hoping to get a real feel for Microtransactions 6: vibe coded edition.
Quick question: what exactly happens when Microsoft flips the switch on rootkits like they are planning to do? EA gonna just pack it up? (I can dream)
Wow, I havent heard of BF since BF3… it seems i will continue not hearing about it
Haven’t played anything in the battlefield series since bf2. Not surprised on this however, they gotta protect their profits. If someone was to create an anti-cheat for use on Linux it would make them a fortune.
Does anyone have a recommendation for another arcade 64 vs 64 FPS mp game on Linux?
Previously I used BF for that, but now that I’ve transitioned to Linux that is not available obviously.
you can still play BF3 and 4 with some work arounds. Liam (guy’s site that this article is from) posted the other week on his site how to get 3 and 4 working. nothing major at all just a couple extra steps to get it going which is no biggie if you’re on linux, you’re used to the extra steps.
Battlebit
Holdfast is a pretty awesome. Most servers are 150 players but I have seen some at 64 and 200 players. It has proximity chat and most players have mics which can be funny at times. I cannot recall a game where you can talk to the enemy during a game, usually it was only in the lobby.
Squad?
Not really arcade
Squad even has imo the best Star Wars mod (Galactic Contention). just be aware it’s a much slower pace than battlefield/Cod and heavily depends on teamwork
BF4 has 64 players total, BFBC2 has 32 players total.
Hmm… Here I am trying to think when the last time was when I gave EA money for anything…
I guess the Mass Effect Remastered collection. I got that through Humble Monthly, but I’m pretty sure Humble gave EA money for that. So I gave money to EA through Humble… That was quite a long time ago, though.
