The first game was named Battlefield 1942, so technically there hasn’t been a “1” in the series before this :) It came out in 2016 so it’s not really new, but I bought it last year and played it on Linux for a few hours with friends, and it still has an active player base.
So sad that they didn’t fix the AC until the game had been around for years, I would’ve loved to play it in the beginning when the player skill was more varied. Tried to get into it when Linux was allowed but it seemed like mostly the try-hards were still playing. Had some good games but it was a bit too sweaty for my friends at times.
I tried playing it through Wine during season 2 or 3, the game worked flawlessly but you would get kicked after 1-5 minutes due to missing AC.
