Okay, so here’s the deal. Battlefield 6? Yep, they finally took the wraps off. EA had this huge worldwide reveal thing going on, and honestly, it was kind of a circus with all these content creators flooding the internet with gameplay. Chaos, but the fun kind. I guess they laid out all the big stuff we needed to know. And, oh boy, the PC crowd might have a bit of a tantrum over some of it. Who can blame them?
Get this—Battlefield Studios decided to drop Javelin Anticheat on PC. EA cooked up this kernel-level thingy to catch cheaters in the act. Sounds fancy, right? It’s been lurking since 2022, but only got its snazzy name this April. Anyway, they’ve been slipping it into other EA games—typical EA playing their cards close to the chest.
If you’re planning to jump into the beta, brace yourself—you’ll need to fiddle with Secure Boot on Windows. What’s that? Well, it’s some gizmo that leans on TPM 2.0 or whatever. Yawn. Most new PCs can handle it, I think.
Kernel-level anticheat is kind of EA’s jam now. Guess everybody’s doing it. Wild how it all works out. Even big shots like Call of Duty are using similar stuff called Ricochet—fancy name for a problem everyone’s dealing with.
Let’s talk about letting some third-party software mess around in your system’s underbelly. Spooky, right? Linux folks, look away now; it probably won’t make you happy. But apparently, it’s decent at smacking down those cheaters who think they’re all that. Gotta give it that.
So, mark your calendars or set a reminder on your phone or whatever people do these days—Battlefield 6 hits on October 10. Whether you’re a PC maestro or hitching a ride on PS5 or Xbox, it’s time to gear up.
