no linux support, so no.
The critical battlefield experience can be had on Linux. By that I mean checking to see if it’s selling better than Call of Duty and arguing about it.
Non-starter for anti-cheat. They also specifically disabled it on Linux even without counting the anti-cheat.
My hopes for any BF game have been in the dirt since the BF3 beta.
Squad is fun.
Weird u can only party with 4 people in a 64 player game mode
Yikes, the homogenization of multiplayer even hits battlefield.
I guess nobody working in Austin or LA has more than 3 friends.
Obviously I don’t know how this works in practice but as long as everyone on a side has cross communication between 4 person squads I could see how organizing 32 people into 8 squads of 4 on each side might foster closer teamwork as well as allow for multiple spawn points without splitting up squads. I guess it depends on how the teams of 4 are integrated into the overall 32 person group.
The good, no more wierd specialist and colorful skins, this is a battlefield simulator, not COD or R6S. Each class has its strengths and its weaknesses because you are supposed to play as a team (PTFO). Graphics, textures, action, all good classic Battlefield. The sounds are better than ever. There isn’t that many bugs on the beta, much less than on the prior 3 BF releases.
The bad, there are still a couple of bugs and exploits here and there. There is an exploit I found where you can climb onto the bridge on the Arabian city map and jump around the building roof tops. A couple of times I can’t skip revive when I am all alone. Had issues with guns disappearing and can’t really aim down sights. But all these are few and far between.
The anti cheat is still a “let’s see” stage to me and any one saying that secure boot messed their computer is an idiot because it isn’t a program, they probably messed around their BIOS and corrupted something (maybe trying to install a hack for BF6)
I won’t preorder the game out of pure principal and wait till the game comes out before deciding fully to buy it or not at that time. Remember NO PREORDERS
Best battlefield since 4 so far. No server browser really sucks. Classes need some balancing. It’s really fun though.
