But EA added Kernel Level Anticheat YEARS later to a game Linux players could play and bricked it for us.

Servers and connection12 of 300 (4%)
While this allows the game to showcase different parts of the conflict, it also makes the overall experience feel disconnected.

Although the game certainly isn't dead, if You're en English speaker, you're be disconnected from Asian servers (which are the closest to us with full lobbies), if you're a good player.

A further 7 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
