Get on Counterstrike, lads,

Root kernel access isn't enough for them? Jesus fuck are they greedy.

It's ego and they actually think they can win against cheat makers. But like it or not, there will always be cheats, for the same reason there will always be cracked copies of their games.

If it runs, it can be cracked. -An old 0day saying

PS - Just let us have our own dedicated servers again. Then we can just banhammer a bitch, instead of relying on a stupid lobby vote system and a report button.

If you could have your own server, you could keep playing the game after they decide it's time for you to pay $90 for the next one.

BF4 still very playable!

...because of private servers.

[–] bagelberger@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

just picked it up for $4 and (after the annoying Punkbuster install) it holds up really well, especially for being 12yo. definitely scratches the Battlefield itch so I don't feel so tempted to buy BF6

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Nice. There are some servers with only the premium maps but if they are cheap it's worth it, including Firestorm, which they are bringing back for BF6. Peak Battlefield.

CoD WWII is the only one I want to play. :-(

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You mean CoD (2003) and United Offensive right? Right?

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Man... Call of Duty: United Offense was the game my squadron played all the time while we were deployed to Iraq in 2007. Someone had a cracked copy they brought with them and we installed it on all our computers in the squadron (we were an IT squadron).

Once a day, around lunchtime, we'd shut down the whole squadron for about 30 minutes. We'd hang signs on our doors that said we were closed for "simulated warfare training." Then we'd jump into a massive free-for-all match and shoot everything that moved until there was one person left standing. Someone had dozens of custom maps people had made online, so we always had some new and unique map to play with.

I don't miss Iraq, but I do miss those days. CoD was my favorite FPS series back in the day. Now it's complete garbage.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (the 2009 original, not the 2022 reboot) was the first time I felt like the franchise wasn't trying anymore. I mostly played the campaign mode and that was the first campaign that was basically just a carbon copy of the previous game. Same exact plot, same exact ending, just a new villain who took over for the villain in the previous Modern Warfare game.

Black Ops was kind of weird, but not that bad. However, I completely lost interest when trying to play Black Ops 2 and haven't bought a new game since. I hear they're up to Black Ops 6 now?

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

My friends and I started on PS3 with CoD ModernWarfare. Playing 4 player splitscreen was fun! Then later when internet around here got better, we played MW2 and Black Ops. A few played BlackOps 2 and I think only one stayed for MW3. I think I even got the Wii version of black ops lol

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 week ago

Cod 2 is where it's at. The smoke blew my mind back in the day

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

We still play UO every night. Historians have their Base Assault server going during the afternoons and there is usually a CTF and S&D server populated every night (which one it is varies)

We’d love to have some old players back!

[–] warm@kbin.earth 6 points 1 week ago

Not going to happen because they want shitty skill based matchmaking and lobbies filled with bots!

I mean I haven't played one of their games in a few generations now, but like, this defo isn't helping the chances

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Their AC doesn't work on Linux, so my odds of plying it went to 0 when I found that out. Fuck them anyway. They haven't made a game worth playing in probably decades. There are better cheaper games not ran by greedy corpos.

[–] warm@kbin.earth 5 points 1 week ago

Game is just watered down af anyway to appeal to the call of duty crowd as much as possible. BF lost its identity, so you aren't missing anything.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah the Beta wouldnt even open on Linux. Easy uninstall, thanks goodbye.

[–] pendant@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
[–] kbal@fedia.io 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So, not required on Linux then I guess.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

Or they'll just copy Respawn

[–] extarion@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

No need to require something for an OS they don't plan to support at all anyways, I suppose. :(

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago

I don't know what that is but you lost me at "Windows".

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Come join the community I made recently specifically for battlefield like games made by indie developers such as the superb ww2 battlefield-like Easy Red 2 !
