Unfortunately this game only worka on Linux for a limited time, they are switching to FACEIT anticheat soon which will not work on Linux.

I’ve been playing POLYGON as an alternative for Linux systems.

They stated they will allow EAC to be used in community servers, though that doesn’t really give me much hope since they won’t run their own EAC official servers?

If they do this, the only servers running EAC will be ones intended for Linux users. They will also be overrun by cheaters, I’m not going to pretend that FACEIT isn’t a more robust AC than EAC, but at least if every server was on EAC the cheaters would be spread out rather than concentrated.

Crossposting my comment from another thread:

It’s already some of the most fun I’ve had in a multiplayer FPS in a long time. Last game we were 4 players in a car and the driver was blasting “I Need A Hero” over his microphone while we bum rush the objective.

We all died, but it was absolutely hilarious.

He was actually just watching Shrek and turned the volume up at that part.

I saw something about that. It has destructible environments and some construction mechanics right? Are there specific classes/loadouts that can construct?

Yes! There are a few classes like Medic and Marksman which are pretty similar to those in Battlefield.

In terms of loadout, weapon customization is pretty in-depth. There are a lot of weapons and you can change the scope, muzzle, underbarrel, magazine and more. Take a look at this image.

Something great this game does is that you can’t just slap a long range scope on an assault rifle and expect it to be a long range weapon. Controlling recoil is really hard and you aren’t entirely accurate when scoped in, which is a breath of fresh air compared to some others in the genre.

I have nothing against it OP for sharing this, but the headline of this article by PCgamer is super clickbaity, witholding the key info until you give them a click. There was a subreddit called “saved you a click” that was basically taking clickbait headlines and putting the “prize info” in the post title. I wonder if there will be a Lemmy equivalent.

You could always include such information in the body of the post (that way not altering the original title of the article which could lead to other problems), I guess communities could even require this to be done for every clickbaity article
