From Game Of The Year To Console Slop

Hard disagree with OP lmao, like Ruxem​ I rarely encounter cheaters and in the very few times I have, they were banned after I reported them in less than 12 hours.

The anti-cheat is pretty good so far and feels like its improved over time. Forcing the change to secure boot doesn't make the anti-cheat itself better, its so your motherboard has a unique ID so you can't just buy another account and change IPs to get around bans. You need entirely different hardware or be able to spoof that ID.

Forced cross-play was initially something I didn't like about the game, but ultimately I don't really notice a difference and see a fair balance of console and PC players both performing well.
If you have gripes about aim-assist being "over powered" then go pick up a controller an play with one if its so good. For me, I'll stick to M&K because I generally top the scoreboard with that.

Lack of direction, that's one place I have to agree unfortunately.

• The beta was to sell people a traditional battlefield game, then came in the airsoft cosmetics that don't seem to follow the art direction at all. 
• The game is meant to be gritty and based in reality, then we get these weird over the top battle pickups they quietly removed from the game.
• Again, meant to be grounded and we get hallucinogenic gas that feels way off-base & even then why would it wear off the second you get out of it or put on a mask?
• PAX style skins for the M1 Abrams completely mixing up the team-specific vehicles

A lot of the lack of direction does largely feel more cosmetic and ultimately doesn't affect the game for me but it really lacks the masterclass in art direction and visual cohesion that BF1 had.
