Metal Messiah from DSOGaming writes: "Electronic Arts recently released a new set of games on Valve’s distribution service, including Dead Space 3, Titanfall 2, Sims 4 etc. Since its release on Steam, Titanfall 2 has been selling extremely well, and it has also become more popular than every Battlefield game combined."
The best shooter campaign since Half-Life 2 still hasn't been topped eight years later.
I agree with this. The time travel mechanics. The sense of scale. The relationship with your mech. The bosses all had personalities. It's a wonderful game.
Yeah it was good, but it only did the time travel bit in one level. Dishonered 2 did the same thing. Now how about a game where it's implemented throughout the gameplay? Singularity says Hello (and deserves so much more recognition).
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.
GOOD! Respawn deserve it, they made such a great game, are amazingly talented, and are one of the few of their caliber that just focus on making a fun game rather than a cash cow through manipulation.
Can't wait to play it! . It's on my back catalog of free PS+ games.
The system is good. You click on the games you want, but do not have to download them at that time, as long as you click before the months up, the games are free for you whenever, forever.
TF2 is a surprisingly great game. I got it along with BF1 on a $5 download code sale from Amazon last year. Wish I was able to transfer it to my Steam account.
Say it with me now....
TITANFALL 3!!!
Please! 😁 Much rather that than more battle royale stuff.
Good, it’s a shame it didn’t do better because it was such a step up in almost every way.
