Is there a way to play this without installing EA spyware?
Get your friend to buy it and play it at his place
I imagine you can avoid the EA shit if you pirate it.

I don’t think it is. I played through it a few years back and don’t remember that but I could be dead ass wrong. But the campaign is SO GOOD and relatively short it wouldn’t be that bad just to play through it each on your own. The multi-player is alright, the servers aren’t the best but you can find matches for sure.

It’s not, but it is one of the best single player campaigns I have ever played.
My partner and I often play through single player games together in tandem, waiting for one another at each checkpoint.
There is a co-op PvE mode if that’s your speed.

actually a masterpiece of a game, the campaign is so unbelievably worth it, just keep in mind the vanilla multiplayer is unplayable due to ddosing. if you want to play multiplayer, look into the northstar client
“Protocol 3: Protect the pilot.”
do not make me cry
It’s OK, I made myself cry a little writing it.
BT is goodest boi. 😭
I always wondered why the servers were shit. Why are people even doing that to a game server…
Multiplayer was fixed like a year ago, I had 5 great matches last night with maybe a bit of lag on some guys, but that’s normal for vidja gamez
Yeah, multiplayer works perfectly out of the box now, no more need for Northstar.
AFAIK the ddosing was solved/stopped a while who, the multiplayer works great now
Worth it for the campaign alone at 5x that price. I got the game with no expectations years ago and was very impressed.
Agreed it’s easily one of my favorite single player campaigns.
Do you need to have played the first one for the campaign to make sense?
I still haven’t played the first. It was fine without.
Not really. I didn’t and it was fine.
First one didn’t have a campaign. It was online multilayer only.
And the “sequel” to this one is Apex Legends.
This game is really great and its length make it enjoyable many times.
I played 2 years ago when I was still on PlayStation 4 and it looked great.
The soundtrack is also great to listen to.
One of my favorite FOS of the last decade with the killzone and wolfenstein series.
Man, I really should give this game another try. I remember getting it at launch, but completely forgot about it because of other game releases at the time.
Campaign’s mind-blowing
You can run through the campaign in a few hours, so there’s very little time investment. Give it a shot!
Pair this with some Egyptian club music like dj nir Maimon and it’s the best game in the world
Steam says it gets a yellow score for Steam Deck. Anyone know how it plays?
https://www.protondb.com/app/1237970 From what I can gather, you may need to do a little bit of tinkering
This game is easily worth full price for the single player alone. You’d be an idiot not to pick it up for $3
The multiplayer is back, like really back, and it slaps just as hard as ever. This is, genuinely, one of my main multiplayer games right now. The fight to the extraction on a loss is one of the most cinematic moments you’ll ever get in a PvP gamemode.
Believe the hype on this one.
The game is absolutely amazing. I bought it for 5 dollars. I suddenly couldn’t play it anymore because you still have to deal with some ea bullshit and even refunded these 5 dollars. Game is a 10/10 ea is a 0/10
Well I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let some Internet rando think I’m an idiot.
Too late! 😁
Apparently there are 9000 people playing on steam right now. That’s not bad!
Yeah, player counts have been healthy for the last year. I’ve never had to queue more than a few seconds for a game in any mode.
Multiplayer is amazing, but everyone seems to be way beyond my skill set at this point
If you can finish the campaign on Master, you’ll be pretty decent in multiplayer too in short order. Also can recommend Frontier Defense, it’s a multiplayer co-op mode that reinforces good multiplayer skills and allows you to get used to the maps
The best tip is to focus on killing ai in the Attrition mode, and stay near teammates. But the wave defense mode is fun too, as you level titans they get overpowered upgrades which would be too unbalanced in versus mode.
This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.
Sold!
Multiplayer actually working? Been having to use a mod to play, but it’s been a while
Servers are back up. No mods needed, you can just log in and play.
Yeah no.
You couldn’t pay me to play this game. If you buy this game, you forfeit the right to ever complain about this bullshit because you’re actively encouraging it.
Very linear campaign, but an excellent game. I recommend playing it, but can’t recommend the EA crap.
I want a third one more than most any other game. 2 was just so fun
Yeah, we won’t get one as long as whales keep dumping cash into Apex Legends cosmetics.
Seems like another cursed EA game with built-in spyware.
I bought the game. Then immediately pirated it so I wouldn’t have to install this EA crap.
You forgot to quote the part where you have to be online for the single player campaign, as well.
It’s a fantastic (though kind of short) campaign, though. Spend the $3, enjoy it a time or two, then Uninstall all the shit.
Bought this last night. Gonna play it tonight for the first time
Envious tbh.
Do I have to install EA bullshit to play the campaign?
yes
Welp, that’s a big fat nope for me. Ty.
Thanks, I will just pirate it then :)
You came here just to say that. Stop pretending.
Oh no you got me!

The campaign narrative alone is worth that price.
