I’m assuming this video is getting some traction again because a lot of you are asking about the trainer code because it’s no longer working. Experience creators need to update their experiences every update and NoName has stopped doing so - that’s why it’s unavailable.

at 75 years old and loving PC FPS games Bf2042 seems so much more "enjoyable" than Bf4 which I have over a 1,000 hrs on. I get tired of the dominating players getting 75 kills and 2 deaths, and claiming their just "skilled." Bf2042 seems so much more equitable and enjoyable. You can get lot of kills satisfying your enjoyment and realizing you're not a big a noob like on other games, where I typically get less than 10 kills and 25 deaths lol.
