atypicaloddityThoughts on BattleBit Remastered?
It gets a super heavy recommendation from me. The game is absolutely excellent. It’s everything the Battlefield community has wanted from Battlefield for what feels like a decade now.
Do not let the graphics fool you. The game has solid performance, great gunplay, great progression akin to BF4, the class system feels excellent, they can do very large scale due to not having excessive graphics performance will be fully and solid, destruction is also fantastic its just got it all.
As someone who’s felt let down by Battlefield for a while now and put thousands of hours into it back in the day, this scratches that itch like you wouldn’t believe.
CMGX78You’ve convinced me.
I’m going to give this game a try tonight.
It’s for sure worth it, I’d recommend you start on 32 v 32 or 64v64 just to not get overwhelmed by the chaos of 124v124 out the gate lol
Just got a tip this might work on Linux....
But yeah... now I won't
128v128 it is for me 🤪
Convinced me too, downloading now.
A_Toasty_StrudelY’all won’t regret it, I promise.
Really good, the servers are amazing, I play on 60 to 80 ping brcause my country doesn’t have servers but I don’t feel any lag, and I mean it.
It brings interesting mrchanics, like dragging allies and thr respawn points. It is undoubtedly fun and a dunny game by nature, you won’t really notice the graphics after a few minutes.
Of course, it’s a 15 bucks game AND still in early access, don’t expect it to be battlefield or feel like newer battlefield titles. But it has more destruction, way too many weapons (tied to a progression system, no money involved of course)
Definitely give it a chance, it is a lovely work of passion. Especially the maps, they really impressed me on how good they were at making them feel good at every size of match (256, 128 and 64 people)
Best $15 I’ve spent in awhile. It’s like Battlefield and Squad mixed together, but a lot more fun and a lot less serious.
Couldn’t recommend enough
I’ve really enjoyed it. It could use some polishing here and there but overall it’s been fun. Worth the purchase.
I thought the vehicles handled better in BF2 and 2142. Destruction mechanism is fun and engaging. Wish it had the ability to host servers as I do feel queuing can be a pain. Gameplay is extremely smooth and the graphics do not bother me one bit.
Given it is still under development I am super excited to see where it ends up. All my comments are nit picks of an otherwise excellent BF game with developers that are not EA.
I’ll echo everyone else and 100% recommend it.
One thing no one mentioned though is the community. Admins have a zero tolerance policy for racism, homophobia, etc, which leads to voice comms being fun again. So many people roleplaying and just being silly. It’s one of the few games that’s greatly enhanced by proximity chat
Great game. Beats Battlefield 2042 for gameplay by a mile. Brilliant value for money
2042 is a shell of a great game. Done wasting money on tripleA trash that corpo clowns kepe selling. Ahouldnhave been done 5 years ago. Don't feed the trolls
Super fun game, definitely worth the £12 or whatever I paid.
If you’re looking for the type of thing that made your favourite Battlefield great you’ll find that here.
0235Don’t get it. Devs are super anti consumer. Don’t allow modding, don’t allow family share on steam. Don’t even allow you to stream it to another device with big picture. They are in the proccess of switching to a terrible anti cheat system.
It’s an online game, mods aren’t the easiest or even preferable thing to implement in that format. Family share also can have issues with online content. The streaming one is fair. None of those are inherently anti-consumer.
So why is everyone comparing it to “old battlefield games”. A lot of modern games, like SQUAD, only exist because the old battlefield games allowed modding.
It’s developed by 3 people.
Could be developed by 1 person or 300, doesn’t give them the excuse to take the low road with the EULA. 2K are literally looking at their EULA for BattleBit and going “holy shit, we can do this?”
I’m loving it. Like a nice middle point between Insurgency and Battlefield. Chaotic nonsense with a side of tactical mashed potatoes.
When the servers are behaving even on my 1080ti I get 70+fps at 4k.
The devs leaning to a less toxic community is a nice change of pace as well. Even when frustrated you can “act crazy” instead of losing it.
My main critique is that we need a metro style infantry map. Don’t groan you know you love the meat grinder. Grind that meat with us, GRIND!
I’ve been enjoying it. Kinda feels like BF in the old days. Good community so far too.
Like others have said, it’s influenced heavily by both Battlefield and Squad and I think it’s the best of both worlds.
I love that, in Squad, you need to be so tactical and team oriented and communicative; but it can get overwhelming if you just want to relax and/or have no military experience. Battlefield is fun if you want to shut your brain off; but nobody really works together, sometimes for the worse. I think Battlebit scratches both of those itches really well.
Plus the art style makes it so even with 254 players all in one server it still runs smoothly on my midrange-for-2018 rig lol
Not on Linux sadly plus anti cheat appear to need to root level access but otherwise reviews appear rave...
it was working for me on pop!_os a couple days ago. just needed to run it through proton experimental
For real?
Full online MP?
yup played hours of it no issues. i did also run the anticheat thing, so maybe that's also required, and i haven't played it today, so maybe it broke since then?
Ty for heads up. Will give it a shot once I am back.
15 bucks is a risk I am willing to take to scratch that bf itch.
2042 is garbage :/
I played the playtest and it was amazing. Next pay I’m buying it
I havent got sucked into a shooter since Counterstrike 1.6 and i cant stop playing this game. its a great deal for 15 bucks too. the devs are also responsive to the community
IqunlimitedAmazing game. Haven' had this much fun in an fps in years. Their approach to moderation and getting those who are just blatantly terrible out of the game ASAP is wonderful. And it's a tiny indie game made by three people. And it's cheap! There's no downsides here the game is just amazing.
The game is pretty great. I’ve been having so much fun just being a medic in it. Dodging all enemy fire to go heal people is insane when there are so many people.
One game I kept hearing a guy play Free Bird and loudly sing it. Whenever I got close enough for proximity chat I would start hearing him again. Weaving through fire and the gunshots while hearing that every now and then was amazing.
Here is 40 seconds I recorded showing what it is like to be inside a firefight.
BattleBit Remastered - What it feels like to be a fish in a barrel
ThunderingJerboaFun game the only complain I would have is the progression system for gun unlocks sort of suck and is quite grindy. I'm personally a big fan of the unlock system for gun attachments since it rewards good play with the guns you use.
Very cheap and good fun
colonialIt was fun until I was forced to refund it tdue to the devs announcing they were going to move from EAC to FACEIT, locking Deck/Linux users like me out. Asshole bait-and-switch move if you ask me - I’m glad I had just under two hours of playtime.
It’s been entertaining so far. Definitely worth the price for me. And the community I’ve come across doesn’t take it too seriously while still playing seriously. It’s been refreshing
I’m absolutely loving it. I’ve been itching for a battlefield game but my pc is shit. This runs great, the gameplay is super fun, and I’ve had none stop fun with prox chat.
Definitely worth the 15 bucks imo.
SpezCanLigmaBallsThis looks so fun
_MoveSwiftlyLet’s buy it together and play. I fly attack helis mainly.
I don’t even have a computer because my laptop screen broke 😩
You just need an external monitor right?
Enjoyed it myself, not normally a fan of that type of game and for PVP i tend to play Siege. This I enjoyed a lot though, a few of us joined up together and it was reliable, had decent gunplay and was fun. I am a little concerned about cheating though. Whilst it has anti-cheat there were some definite suspect moments for me.
skulblakaI usually see at least one person per night, if not one person per match, who gets auto-kicked for cheating. So there are definitely cheaters. But it does seem to be picking them off pretty effectively.
simoI really enjoy it for what it is, but I feel like they need to refine the overall experience.
People can jump through windows and spray you, yet the ttk is super low, slow reloads and gunplay is a mixed bag when it comes to mechanics (single fire over auto, bipods don’t help at al).
I’ll give it a massive benefit of the doubt due to pricing and oh, yeah…it’s made with love by three people.
The party system is amazing and allows my friends and I to be dragged into a game in mere seconds. Worth it alone for that tbh.
That was made by 3 people? That’s insane.
It’s fun hectic as hell. Be prepared to die quickly and often. Stay with your squad or other players. Lone wolfing can lead to quick deaths. People are good about reviving.
I created a community for battlebit, if anyone is interested in discussing or posting specific stuff for the game: lemmy.world/c/battlebit
I’m 100% broke but I want it pretty bad. That’s my thoughts.
