Boy, where do I even start with the big reveal of Battlefield 6? So, EA just dropped a bombshell at this worldwide multiplayer gameplay event, ya know, spilling all the beans. It was like someone accidentally kicked over the bean can! Loads of folks were streaming it too—content creators galore showing off live gameplay. Probably too much caffeine and excitement for one night.
So, here’s the lowdown. Most of the juicy details are out there now, including some tidbits aimed at PC players that—brace yourself—not everyone’s gonna love.
Oh, quick detour here, ever tried to mess with cookie settings online? Ugh, talk about an instant headache. But yeah, back to the point.
Battlefield Studios is quite the chatterbox lately and confirmed that Javelin Anticheat is coming to PC; a fancy name, right? Sounds like something from a sci-fi flick but nope, it’s EA’s own kernel-level watchdog, sneaking around in the background making sure no one’s cheating. Apparently, they christened it back in April, but the tech’s been lurking since 2022.
And just in case you’re wondering, this isn’t its first rodeo. It’s already policing EA FC, Madden, the whole shebang, and it did a star turn in Battlefield 2042’s sixth season. So, it kinda makes sense to open with it in the new game.
Now, during the beta—if you’re in on that—Javelin’s gonna be your shadow, watching and waiting. But that’s not all! You’ve gotta play nice with Secure Boot on Windows, which taps into TPM 2.0—bet you didn’t see that coming. Well, if you’re running a modern PC, it’s probably got your back on this.
Anyway, it seems like kernel-level anticheats are not as rare as lost socks anymore? The usual suspects—BattlEye and Easy Anti-Cheat—are in on the action too, just like Call of Duty’s Ricochet. Hey, everyone loves catchy names, right?
Still, the idea of letting creepy software peek into the bowels of your PC has always made folks antsy. Yeah, Linux users—sorry, you’re left in the lurch again. But this nosy parker approach has crushed a bunch of cheat strategies, so there’s that. Not foolproof, but if you wanna hop onto your favorite AAA multiplayer game, it’s this way or the highway.
Mark your calendars or just scribble it on your hand: Battlefield 6 hits October 10, and it’s coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. How’s that for options?
