I heard it went downhill when they switched from EAC to ea anticheat, at least according to the cheating forums.
Games been hacked to pieces for several years now. Last time I played it a few months back I spawned in a tiger tank in the german main spawn and was immediately destroyed by a light tank in the enemy main spawn point before i could even get moving, it was basically spawn boom dead. That was on the rotterdam map so not even like a direct line of sight from one spawn to the other.Oh yeah, BF V has an active 4chan group of cheaters from what I've seen.
It is battlefield in name only.Is bf2042 better than bf 1 or 5? I'm misssing the game mechanics of bf2 and bf3, but not a huge fan of battle royal type games.
