I dual boot with win 11, I do so for programming purposes, not gaming. I read online that the game straight up blocks Linux on all fronts (typical EA). So, I booted into win 11 and launched the beta. It still refused to start and complained that secure boot was “disabled”. Booted into BIOS and it was enabled, but not active. I had to reset the keys to the windows default keys to be able to play this game. This is a no go for me. Not giving them my money until they stop this bullshit. Just wanted to let everyone know the situation so far.

      I mean… compared to a call of duty experience i think they do. Even arcadey battlefield games have combined arms, naunced teamwork and battlefield awareness at play that most team shooters don’t have.

      If you would like a really arcadey recommendation however Heroes Of Valor looks good though I haven’t tried it (and it is in early access).

        Nah. I like me battlefields . It plays like battlefield and all I needs. Been playing them since the wake island demo waaaaaay back in the bf1942 days.

        Two thing i do miss though, dedicated servers and mods.

          I am not saying I don’t like battlefield, I don’t like EA and that has become a dealbreaker for me… or rather it did quite awhile ago.
