Played a lot this week. For those on the fence this game feels amazing. Terrific gun play and movement. This is a real ‘back-to-basics’ battlefield-like shooter. I highly recommend jumping in on it.

I have a steam deck, I have been following it for quite a bit, but I haven't bought it yet because developers are planning to implement Faceit that is not compatible with linux

You will still be able to play on community servers which will continue to use EAC.

[–] Zeth0s 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, are these servers populated and easy to browse?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, I often use the server browser instead of “Quick Play” so I can find a server that’s 24/7 a specific game mode, instead of controlled by Vote. (One of the only ways to play “Rush”, for instance)

By battlefield, do you mean like 1942 or the BF3+ CoD style shit?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

BF3 and cod for sure. You’ll get sprayed by someone with a meta vector who is also leaping through the window at the same time.

The game winds me up, but it’s enjoyable when I’m drunk. Make of that what you will

I would say not too far off BF3. There is a drone and I would say the sniping is a little too strong to the point where a few people play it like CSGO. But it’s nothing like CoD or the newer battlefields.

Edit: By new CoDs I mean no wall running or jet packs. No dumb kill streaks. There is an element of run and gun but it’s limited if effectiveness.
