I have the same in experience in COD where I solo queue almost all of the time. I've found that I'm one of at most 2 people per side that actually play the objective(s) and not just treat every game mode like it's TDM. I still end up having fun even if my side doesn't win but when I get into a random team where more than half of my team mates are actually PTFO then that ticks an extra box for me.

My last game last night seemed to click. I was having a hard time shooting people but once I realised I was able to modify the M4 Carbine with a grip and remove the scope and rely on iron sights, I turned into a pretty effective gunning medic. Managed to top the leader board with only 18 kills and 10 deaths but I had something like 19k points so I was clearly reviving a lot of people!
Enjoyed this weekends beta for the most part, few questionable players but not enough to stop playing. Would be nice if they actually put a proper battlefield map on next weekend with access to vehicles to get a feel of how that's going to be.
So far it's a wait for launch for me to see how the actual battlefield side of it is, I'm all for smaller maps to appease to a wider audience especially on the open betas but I play Battlefield for big maps with vehicles.

You need to enable it now for this game plus fc 26 and even BF 2042 NOW
Only really played CQ all weekend, but tried KOTH last night and really enjoyed it.
Much better experience than the 2042 beta, but that wasn't exactly a high bar...
I'm interested to see what they change/ tweak (if anything) before next weekend.

Yeah the only new map they're adding this Thursday is another infantry only...
Anyway, 10mins left of the current "weekend" beta. Next session runs from this Thursday 9am UK to next Monday 9am UK

CoD has added it too and apparently Arc Raiders will also have it, dont think it will be long before most online competitive games require it.
yeah agree, looking forward to seeing what maps we get next weekend
Liberation Peak is a pretty big map!
It's more about giving us variety, big maps are cool but so are smaller ones. Let's hope the launch set of maps gives people options and they continue to add more to appeal to both crowds.

Whats funny is that cheaters was still in the BF 6 beta despite having secure boot enabled..... Useless thing to add as a requirement IMO
I think my drives are all mbr.
Liberation peak is a small vehicle map for battlefield. Bigger than Damavand but much smaller than caspian, kharg or firestorm. Problem is that they're not giving us variety in the beta, 3 small maps and a medium-large one.
The EA help page on secure boot gives good instructions on converting to gpt.
Days since Tombstone mentions a specific 3rd person futuristic extraction shooter in the BF6 thread:
The Javelin anti-cheat wasn't active for the beta - and secure boot isn't a magical silver bullet that just stops all cheaters, what do you think it does?
I wonder if they're worried about showcasing the larger maps for the beta because of how 2042's maps at launch were received - huge maps but all giant open spaces. Perhaps they're worried that any of the new people they want to appeal to might be put off by larger maps - as it also 'slows' down interactions for infantry players so less likely to test out combat, weapons, equipment etc.
I'm not too worried, as long as we get a nice selection at launch I'll still happily play the game. I really enjoyed the beta, gunplay felt really nice on both controller and m&k - but my main main main gripe was the delay to shooting when you swapped back to your weapon after having equipment out. Really started to frustrate me towards the end of the beta, you'd fire an RPG / C4 at a tank to destroy it but then it'd take 3-5 working days to get your gun out to shoot the engineers who were repairing it.

What does it do then? What does secure boot do?
Secure Boot wasn't designed with anti-cheat in mind but game devs can include the requirement for it in order "limit" the amount of people loading dodgy software that can allow them to cheat. However, the game of cat and mouse between game devs and cheat sellers is never going to end. We've seen dozens of anti-cheat systems over many decades and the cheat makers win every single time. If it didn't make them money then they wouldn't still be in business.

It was in reference to other games using secure boot, you'll note that the post I replied to also mentioned Fifa for example, which isnt even a shooter
True...they'll never beat the cheats, cheat creation and selling is simply too profitable an industry.

Like many undesirable supply and demand issues (like drugs, gold sellers in games etc), the thing to address isnt the supply but the demand. If there werent people wanting things, there wouldnt be a market for suppliers to supply things. It always comes back to answering the question of why people want X and the fix for that why is a very long and potentially unachievable one.
