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.
if its anything like 2047 nothing lf value was lost
They’re going back to battlefield 4 for this one. Honestly I haven’t been this excited for a pvp game in years, possibly since Titanfall 2. The gameplay they’ve been showing off looks incredibly fun.
Meanwhile the game by the ex-DICE devs with superior destruction physics (THE FINALS) is playable on linux and pledged to remain so! :)
It’s a ton of fun, you guys should check it out.
Looks more like Fortnite than BF.
I want another game like BF1942+Desert combat, or possibly BF2142
The setting is that you’re playing in a video game, so things aren’t realistic, that’s for sure. It’s not supposed to be though. The issue with the crazy skins in CoD is that they’re portraying themselves as a “hardcore realistic military shooter”, but then you have the American Dad characters running around.
The Finals being not realistic allows them to do so much, from level design to mechanics. It does not play like Battlefield at all, but it does have better destruction than it’s ever had. The gameplay is that of a fast paced movement shooter, and it’s very cerebral, with a lot of ways to outplay your enemy and use them and the environment to your advantage. Even without the reaction time and skill of some people, you can play smarter and win.
Fair. It can still be a good game but I was so miss the old BF games
It definitely doesn’t play like fortnite, that’s for sure.
It’s not meant to be a superior battlefield btw. It just has old battlefield team members making it, so things like the gunplay, destruction, class structure and game balance are similar in style (though not 1-1)
Yeah but I don’t like the clownsy look, I want the nitty gritty battlefield realism
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.
BF4 has 64 players total, BFBC2 has 32 players total.
Squad?
Just be aware that it’s a lot less ‘first person shooter’ and more ‘strategy game from a first person perspective’ these days. I’m still so mad about their infantry combat overhaul.
Also, more importantly, squad is only sort-of compatible with linux. They’ve got DRM that does break things on the linux side on occasion since it’s not directly supported.
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
