Any of the Battlefield titles look pretty great.

They don’t make it easy, I had to wait for two weeks before I could, and had to run an unsigned binary to do it. Can not recommend buying one to unlock.

I have. Oddly enough, I don’t remember any Gearbox game with a Gearbox engine?

A game that looks like BL4 shouldn’t run like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing turned on.

Then the problem surely is media literacy?

If there’s a game that ever needed stringent anticheat, it’s Battlefield.
