If I can’t play it on Linux, I can’t play it.

Seems like they're headed back into a more grounded, serious tone which is great. I hope this is good because I loved BF4 and BF1.

Fingers crossed they go back to their BF3/4 roots.

Same here. I remember BF3 days after work with my coworker.
It’s not been the same since those releases.

This is getting out of hand! Now, there are six of them

This looks so generic I almost fell asleep. This franchise is on its last legs.

Literally watch any cod/bf trailer in the last decade and youve seen them all.

Even in the pretty generic realm of military fps trailers, this one lacked the tiniest ambition of standing out. It almost dips into the realm of satire in it’s choice of themes and presentation which are all so obviously just lame rehashes of things we’ve all seen dozens of times before.

Yessssssssss. Between this trailer, and their decision on class locked weapons in the upcoming beta, my hope levels are actually rising. It’s my all time favorite FPS series, pleaseeeee make a come back! 🥲

I was really looking forward to this until they started to confirm the secure boot requirement. I’m not changing my UEFI settings just for a game
simop_jo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Its more than than a setting in bios. I don’t want any app on my system to have that much power.

Give me a decent campaign and I’ll bite. I’m growing old and tiresome of PVP so that’s still out if I want to play it for multiplayer or not

As a Battlefield player since 1942, I recently moved to Easy Red 2. I’m sick of always online and this game is a breath of fresh air to me.

Play battle bit, that shit was awesome. We had people roleplaying as an unspoken rule, everyone was just having fun.

Play Operation Harsh Doorstop - free and moddable tactical shooter with big maps and vehicles, vanilla gameplay is fairly realistic but there are mods that totally change up the gameplay like Casualfield. This game has a dedicated group of youtube content creators who hate on this game… I don’t get it… because the gunplay is fantastic and the mechanics are an elegant evolution of Project Reality type squad spawns and player built basic infrastructure. Sniping is also a BLAST.

Easy Red 2 - Really fantastic WW2 tactical shooter with big maps and LOTS of different period accurate vehicles. The general interest this game has in portraying WW2 beyond the tired and boring moments that are usually portrayed is very cool and the gameplay is ROCK solid.

Angels Fall First A superb Battlefront-like/Battlefield 2048 that is first person. This game is in early access and has a small playerbase but the core gameplay is polished, locked in and very very fun. Weapons feel great, vehicles are easy to jump in and start using but clearly have a lot of skill depth to them… Overall the menu and UI is FANTASTIC, at the deploy screen the game will prompt you if a vehicle is available to take and let you spawn directly into it, you can also see a cue of vehicles that are going to spawn for your team soon… Check it out! Even with the low playerbase it is a great bot bashing game, the AI is fun to play against and uses vehicles.

Also, for kicks and giggles I am gonna recommend Empires Mod an old source engine multiplayer RTS/FPS team based hybrid that is actually still in development which is super cool. By now the UI has lots and lots of quality of life additions and tooltips and the whole thing is very impressive even if the age of the source engine and various components going into the experience are obviously very dated, Empires Mod is legitimately still an awesome game and it deserves way more players! There is a discord you can check out to find out when games are happening.

While I like the sentiment… most of those are just fuel for “This is why I only buy name brand stuff” and is right up there with “Linux is super easy. Just start from arch and…”.
Of those, the only one I would even consider recommending as a BF Alternative is Easy Red 2. That game is AWESOME and it reminds me a lot of playing the SP campaigns of old Battlefront. I do think there are serious balance issues with AT infantry versus armor but… I also think armor in general is too powerful (it should not take three AP rounds to the engine to disable something…). That said, I can’t speak to it as an actual MP game since I haven’t actually tried.
Honestly? It gets a lot of crap but I would actually say to check out Battlebit Remastered if someone wants a multiplayer Battlefield that isn’t EA. Regularly still hits 750+ concurrents and I still genuinely can’t tell why the entire internet turned on it.

Hey, it benefits me when more people play these awesome indie multiplayer games!
It pains me when people put up with insane amounts of nonsense when they just want a battlefield like experience, they don’t want lootcrates, popups that distract you when you open the game… skins… casinos… battlepasses…
If that is your jam, great, but it is alarming how little indie big map multiplayer vehicle shooters there are for the health of the genre as a whole, I have made long rants about how EA fucked over the genre by dropping mod support after Battlefield 2 ughhh.
Because of that I get a lot of joy sharing these games because I know most people like me until fairly recently hadn’t heard of some of these gems and they are the perfect anodyne to all the AAA enshittification nonsense happening in multiplayer competitive shooters.
Go play!

Did Operation Harsh Doorstop add anti-cheat? I played it when it first was playable on Steam and the amount of cheating was so obnoxious I uninstalled the game.
Its not fun having your entire team have explosions spawned at your location when you spawn because one idiot decided to ruin the game for everyone.
