Looking to get my Battlefield fix in and I’ve heard good things. Anyone playing and can give their thoughts?

It was fun until I was forced to refund it due to the devs announcing they were going to move from EAC to FACEIT, locking Deck/Linux users like me out. Asshole bait-and-switch move if you ask me - I’m glad I had just under two hours of playtime.
As a Deck owner, I feel this. But at the same time, it’s a 3 person dev team, and rampant cheating driving away their audience is the fastest way for their product to get destroyed.
Yeah, but FACEIT doesn’t work either. None of these anti-cheat products do - they usually stop casual attempts at cheating, but in the face of any dedicated attacker (including subscription cheats and hardware mods) they’re pure security theater.
The only exception I can think of would be Vanguard, which only works because it’s an aggressively maintained bespoke solution (and a complete security nightmare) - but even then, it’s still defeated by hardware mods.
