So we finally know where the new battlefield is taking us, World War 1.World War 1 is Battlefield's next outing but did dice get it right?
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.

Electronic Arts (EA) CEO Andrew Wilson comments on how a former competitor is now building a Battlefield "for the future."
Jesus man this guy
Everything he’s said about the next Battlefield just screams how tone dead he actually is about the franchise
He seems to be repeating the same mistakes
If making BadCompany 3 is not possible anymore ... Just make a new Battlefield 2 in 2024, ffs !
Yes, it is glorious. I want it inside of me! Finally, we're going to have a World War 1 game, and I can't be happier.
This is the only FPS game that has interested me since Far Cry 4. I suppose you could count SW Battlefront as FPS but I play that in 3rd person so I don't :)
Did DICE get it right?! All we've seen is one little trailer with close to no in-game footage! Man N4G is getting worse and worse each day.
The short answer is yes. But honestly everyone keeps making a big deal out of games being made in a futuristic setting and I don't think that's the problem. To me, the problem is these kinda of games lacking in the gameplay department and not having enough depth to sustain a long life. If the gameplay isn't there, it don't matter if the game is set in world war 1 or in space. Fortunately gameplay has never been a problem for battlefield as long as battlefield stays true to it's roots and doesn't try to be like the other generic shooters (CoD) out here. Shots fired🔫😉
It may not be the game we all wanted....but it is the game that we needed!
