Definitely will look into it.

I've had lots of fun with this game. The price point is great with the amount of hours that I've gotten from it.
I'm not into FPS anymore, but even I thought about picking it up. The substance over style is fine with me, but that core gameplay seems like a rock solid thing. The only thing that has given me pause on picking it up is that they're planning on changing the anti-cheat that isn't Linux friendly and as a Linux user, just gonna wait for now.
or get it, and be very vocal when they try pulling some bs
In my experience being vocal about changes doesn't do much. There's a million factors and Linux support is probably at thr bottom of their priority list. Or they've been told be the anticheat it'll be fixed someday, etc. I understand they're a super small team and they have to pick their battles as well.
I'm too tired for that fight/discussion anymore. I'll vote with my wallet. Plus I have a million other games to play.
Anyone here tried it on a linux box?
I tried it on Fedora 37 on my Laptop. But that was a few months ago when it was free and in beta. In general, it runs well even on my non-gpu laptop.
Tried it yesterday and it just works

Sounds interesting, but I'll have to wait until they port it to macOS before I buy it.
I've been playing this a lot, it's very good. I'm hoping it won't die out quickly.
I'm going to give it a go this week. I was so disappointed with BF2042 - hopefully this scratches the itch.
How possible is it to play primarily in a support role? I'm a terrible shooter but I love healing where possible.
I'm in the same camp here, generally avoided FPS because my reaction time is similar to a snail. The medic role is super important because you don't heal automatically, and only a medic can heal you. I've had plenty of situations where I'm a medic prone on the ground with bullets flying overhead, reviving and healing a whole squad downed by a well placed enemy grenade. Been an absolute blast, pun intended.
I got it and played a bunch with a group over the weekend, it's quite a lot of fun. Lots of chaos and stuff happening, with plenty of room for support roles like ammo and medic if you don't feel like doing anything else. Proximity voice chat is built in and works well too, and is real proximity (ie; enemies can hear you too if nearby). The automatic mic activation for a few seconds when you die can be absolutely hilarious (or disabled if you want).
The graphics are nice and simple which I like, it lets me focus on the game more and not have to deal with FPS drops or performance issues.
