    But don’t just trust our word on this. We’ve also worked with independent, 3rd party security and privacy assessors to validate EA anticheat does not degrade the security posture of your PC and to ensure strict data privacy boundaries.

    Uhm this is just their word that they worked with independent 3rd party security and privacy assessors. They should name those so that one can verify their word.

      And even if everything they say is true, just because no vulnerabilities were found doesn’t mean there aren’t any. Or that there won’t be any in the future. Or that EA won’t be using it for bullshit.

      This is like having a random dude living in your walls, peeping at you through your vents. And when you call the police they say, “no need to worry, we have confirmed that there is indeed a random dude living in your walls”.

      I belive its secure because until now noone found an exploit in multiplayer games with anti-cheats yet and used it to install cheats during the finals of an E-Sports tornament or something.

    As long as they don’t touch BF1 and earlier I’m still fine.

    Still think server side anti cheat is the ONLY way to combat cheaters at this point. All client side efforts (even kernel level) have been bypassed and hardware cheating devices running outside of the computer are becoming VERY common.

      Server side AC works well enough but as league demonstrates, it’s not a silver bullet.

        I don’t know how it is now, but when I played league in the beta and for 4 years afterwards, I only ever saw 1 cheater.

        Player toxicity was off the damn charts, but still not much of a cheating problem. Might be very different now though.

      I don’t think they care, they just want to siphon your data freely given.

        Didn’t try the 4, and I don’t even remember the maps of bc2. Just I didn’t like them. The gameplay was different too and the sensations if I’m not wrong (crouch, run etc)

          BC2 only had a couple of good maps. but they were fantastic. Port Valdez in Rush mode was the shit.

        Like the 3 ? Same spirit ?

        I ask for real XD. Do they have battlepass, seasons, meta weapons and this kind of Sh*** ?

        That’s simple curiosity of course, now I’ve seen this news, inreallt can’t crack anymore 😂😂😅

    That’s so cool. I love that.Thanks EA ☺️ This will definitely make the game not a boring mess. You should do same with all your games. Even Sims 4. Cripple Linux compatibility and kill my performance so that we can stop those evil pirates.

    /s in case it’s not obvious

    EA exec: I haven’t shot us in the foot much lately, I think it’s time we did some more of that.

    Well, I bought the game so i own it (IP shills can shut it). If it stops working on my linux machine, I will pirate it. And I will start distributing it to others who bought it but cant play it. Which is probably even legal where I live due to consumer protection laws.

    I would be fine just playing Bad Company 2 on community servers if that is an option. Haven’t bought a Battlefield game since. I don’t see that trend changing any time soon.
