Get on Counterstrike, lads,

Root kernel access isn't enough for them? Jesus fuck are they greedy.

[-] PleaseLetMeOut@lemmy.dbzer0.com 68 points 2 days ago

It's ego and they actually think they can win against cheat makers. But like it or not, there will always be cheats, for the same reason there will always be cracked copies of their games.

If it runs, it can be cracked. -An old 0day saying

PS - Just let us have our own dedicated servers again. Then we can just banhammer a bitch, instead of relying on a stupid lobby vote system and a report button.

If you could have your own server, you could keep playing the game after they decide it's time for you to pay $90 for the next one.

BF4 still very playable!

...because of private servers.

[-] bagelberger@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

just picked it up for $4 and (after the annoying Punkbuster install) it holds up really well, especially for being 12yo. definitely scratches the Battlefield itch so I don't feel so tempted to buy BF6

[-] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Nice. There are some servers with only the premium maps but if they are cheap it's worth it, including Firestorm, which they are bringing back for BF6. Peak Battlefield.

Not going to happen because they want shitty skill based matchmaking and lobbies filled with bots!

I mean I haven't played one of their games in a few generations now, but like, this defo isn't helping the chances

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 24 points 2 days ago

Their AC doesn't work on Linux, so my odds of plying it went to 0 when I found that out. Fuck them anyway. They haven't made a game worth playing in probably decades. There are better cheaper games not ran by greedy corpos.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah the Beta wouldnt even open on Linux. Easy uninstall, thanks goodbye.

[-] warm@kbin.earth 5 points 2 days ago

Game is just watered down af anyway to appeal to the call of duty crowd as much as possible. BF lost its identity, so you aren't missing anything.

Come join the community I made recently specifically for battlefield like games made by indie developers such as the superb ww2 battlefield-like Easy Red 2 !

!indiefields@sopuli.xyz

Fuck EA

[-] kbal@fedia.io 26 points 2 days ago

So, not required on Linux then I guess.

[-] extarion@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

No need to require something for an OS they don't plan to support at all anyways, I suppose. :(

[-] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago

Or they'll just copy Respawn

[-] Flamekebab@piefed.social 14 points 2 days ago

I don't know what that is but you lost me at "Windows".

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Well shit, I was looking forward to bf6
