I've had some good fun with this with friends the last few days but the latest patch, which dropped yesterday, was supposed to improve hit registration. Unfortunately it seems to have done the opposite for a lot of users, with a great new message claiming 'packetloss' as the reason 5 out of 7 shots didn't register. This coming from a modern computer on a gigabit network with >30 ping to the server.
We also had some weird issues with bandaging and healing people just not registering, but still spending resources, and a lot of people just gave up trying to heal altogether.

I've had lots of fun with this game. The price point is great with the amount of hours that I've gotten from it.
Definitely will look into it.
this game fucks
Anyone here tried it on a linux box?
I tried it on Fedora 37 on my Laptop. But that was a few months ago when it was free and in beta. In general, it runs well even on my non-gpu laptop.
Tried it yesterday and it just works

I got it and played a bunch with a group over the weekend, it's quite a lot of fun. Lots of chaos and stuff happening, with plenty of room for support roles like ammo and medic if you don't feel like doing anything else. Proximity voice chat is built in and works well too. The automatic mic activation for a few seconds when you die can be absolutely hilarious (or disabled if you want).
The graphics are nice and simple which I like, it lets me focus on the game more and not have to deal with FPS drops or performance issues.
Sounds interesting, but I'll have to wait until they port it to macOS before I buy it.
The catch is I cant fuckin play it unless I can get it running in a virtual machine, cuz I'm not dual booting lol
I've been playing this a lot, it's very good. I'm hoping it won't die out quickly.
There's finally a great battlefield competitor and all anyone here can talk about is Linux..?
I'm going to give it a go this week. I was so disappointed with BF2042 - hopefully this scratches the itch.
How possible is it to play primarily in a support role? I'm a terrible shooter but I love healing where possible.
I'm in the same camp here, generally avoided FPS because my reaction time is similar to a snail. The medic role is super important because you don't heal automatically, and only a medic can heal you. I've had plenty of situations where I'm a medic prone on the ground with bullets flying overhead, reviving and healing a whole squad downed by a well placed enemy grenade. Been an absolute blast, pun intended.
