Rumours are buzzing that DICE will take Battlefield 5 to World War One later this year.
Is it a good idea?
That's all folks. EA anticheat has now been added into Battlefield V, so it's the end of being able to play it on Steam Deck and other Linux systems.
This joins the likes of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2: Deluxe Edition, EA SPORTS FC 24, EA SPORTS FIFA 23, Battlefield 2042 and Madden NFL 24 that all have EA's own homegrown anti-cheat that make them simply unplayable on systems running Linux.
Now if you try to run it, you'll be greeted with an error. A shame to see a game that's multiple years old get broken like this and no doubt EA will continue to use their own EA anticheat in future online games. Battlefield 1 is still okay, and Apex Legends is also still running but perhaps it's only a matter of time before EA force it onto those too?

Yes counter cheating that is good but when the ea app on pc is still totally broken and these cheaters are on 2042 same anti cheat this is just putting scotch tape on trumps file cabinet to prevent leaks its nothing more than a stop gap.
I mention ea app as for 4years it was in beta then tossed out with 3 year old issues and i still cant not get the products that i purchased on origin yeah i purchased digital but guess what there is no dvd games on pc anymore.
The rough part of all of this is that for those of us on PC mostly be it Windows or Linux based, the anti-cheat sucks up a lot of resources. It kind of reminds me of the conversation between, security and freedom. Too much of ether is both good if managed well or very bad. We just as gamers keep seeing this pop up over and over again. Wish I had some magic wand to stop cheaters... but I don't... hell we just seen what happened with Apex at a high level event.. getting that kind of access and such is not good... but at the same time. Can anyone, one person provide me an example where Anti Cheat has even like a hit rate above 50? I know I'm pulling numbers out of my ass, but it seems the cheaters beat the systems in place time and time again. Where there is a lock, and a smith to make it. We always will have a thief that breaks it.

So steamdeck might have issues and those out there that are anti kernal drm will get a surprise. Depending on your setup you also might get new issues as i know rgb software likes to fight with easy anti cheat.

Hell No.
Anything pre 2015 needs to forever banned from BF, so sick of those old war shooters from ps2 and ps3.
It's fine adding DLC like they did with Vietnam and Bad Company 2, but if they want a full WW game keep it CoD, would be a perfect match to have lag compensation, autoaim/aim assist, P2P connections. You have a neaderthal era to go with neanderthal CoD mechanics.
Battlefield going to WW is like Gran Turismo going to Model T Racing
WW1 yes please! So sick of this future shice. It sure as hell won't be called BF5 though!
Only fools want a WW1 battlefield game. It's evident there are a lot of fools in this world. If it is indeed in that time era, I will not buy it. Who wants to play a game with single shot weapons? We might as well double dribble instead of NBA2K
In the zone, the focus in GT is on cars in general there are many tournaments and show case events the focus only on old cars. I don't think we should single out or stop making any era, why not do each era every few years and keep everyone happy. Just because I am sick of modern and future doesn't mean I think they should stop making them. I just won't buy or play them it's that simple but if I want the choice why not give me a WW1 or WW2 option. just because you personally don't care for it doesn't mean I should suffer.
I've been playing Battlefield games since 1942. I'm personally open to anything from WW2 to future as BF 2142 was a blast back on the PC. I'm torn on how creative they can be using the WW1 era. Don't think there could be a lot to it. They've been continuing to support BF4 for years now. Don't think the same thing could happen with a WW1 game. As someone said, probably best if it were a DLC pack for something like that. Battlefield games have always been a day one purchase for me and it is by far my favorite franchise, with the exception of Hardline. That was trash. If WW1 is confirmed I would probably wait to see reviews before I jumped in.
