Honestly voice chat slowly becoming used less and less is really telling of the entire track the game went down. The people who use VOIP were, usually, there to have fun over winning. They didn't need to hold W at mach jesus around a corner to enjoy the game, but over time the general excitement died out due to lack of content. Gradually, the people there to have fun (the ones using voip) left and the reason voice chat is used so little now is the vast majority of people still playing the game are focused on their individual performance. They're "too busy" listening for footsteps, holding angles, looking elsewhere, etc. to communicate, revive, resupply or anything else. This, in turn, turns away newer players who nowadays will probably only hear about this game from one of the old videos of crazy voip moments. The snake started eating it's own tail, and in my honest opinion I think the playerbase is very much at fault as much as the devs being slow. It wouldn't be the first time a game's playerbase was so sweaty and unfun that it killed the game, just look at multiversus when it came out.

I am Brazilian. Over the past six months, the game has not received any major updates, which is really disappointing. What I wanted most was weapon customization like in real life, allowing me to attach two scopes to a weapon, for instance. Additionally, it would be amazing if the game included shotguns that are not yet available, new military vehicles, and artillery, making it a true war simulator. I can only imagine how exciting it would be to customize every detail of the weapons, choose different types of ammunition and accessories, and engage in intense battles with varied equipment. The realism of a battlefield filled with modern military vehicles, heavy artillery, and a wide range of customizable weapons would make the gaming experience truly immersive and rewarding.

They have given a lot more info on the Discord. Though, most of that was covered in the camikaze video you brought up. So those changes to lighting, ttk changes, map changes, sound and animation changes, class changes. All that is coming from the devs, with examples and screenshots and clips and stuff. And the devstreams. It is taking a lot longer to come out, but they are making progress. I just wish they would stop adding stuff to the heap and just finish what's on their plate and get that out rather than continuing the feature creep.

I am what would he described as a sweaty movement player, it’s how I have fun playing the game. But I play a hard build, all light armor, light backpack, FAL with short mags (you only get 4). Tons of fun to play. But even for me it is dying. New maps and new weapons or weapon rebalances would help a lot to revitalize the game. I also feel like the camping meta is way, way worse than when this game came out. Perhaps partially because of the rising skill ceiling and also because the lessening tone of running around screaming in VIOP with the homies.

Honestly I played some with friends but never really got into it. Why? Because it simply felt like Battlefield 2, 3, 4, and Bad Company 2 but with worse graphics, less vehicles, and more bullshit sniping. All those games were good and I played them and if I wanted that experience I would go back to them (well 4 is probably the only that still has a decent population of players). Battlebit just came out at a good time where people had moved on and forgotten them but also been disappointed by 2042.

I tried to play, didn't feel good to me, game felt like it had constant micro stutters. I don't know if servers where having sync issues but I was getting into gun fights, winning, but dying split seconds later. It was like hit registration was delayed, and I really couldn't say I enjoyed my 2 hour experience with the game. I didn't win every gun fight but I did win several only to die .5-.75 seconds later. It felt like I was cheated, that and random deads out of no where, like crest a hill and dead instant. No delay just alive and .01 seconds later full dead.

This is a great video format that I hope you continue with - I think you can grow fast with this style. My only nit-pick would be that occasionally the camera position change can be a little too frequent (though I am severely tired from a 10 hour flight) and the font color/background can be bad for accessibility - I'm a web dev and still improving myself. White text with a drop shadow & different font choice may be better but stick to your vision of course. Good to have some rational critique of the current state of BattleBit. Hopefully the next update will bring back some of the magic. Your editing is well above your channel size - keep it up! Subbing to follow your channel growth 👍

The biggest issue is that the main dev outright refuses to get any kind of help or hire more people to help with the codebase. They have the money, but they don't want to hire more devs, because the "codebase is too hard to work on" or "hiring another person won't speed things up coz they will have to learn how the codebase work" bullshit excuses to my book (I'm a dev in real life, and let me tell you, there is no codebase impossible to understand. There is good codebase, hard codebase, and bullshit codebase, and none of them are impossible to understand. It may take times, but you'll speed things a LOT, it's not even up for debate). They don't realize how big BBR was and how hard they dropped their golden goose. It angers and saddens me a lot, I'm coming from the Ace of Spades community, and it's just more of the same story : an excellent game with huge potential, but eventually ruined by a greedy corporation (Jagex). Here, there was no greedy corporation, but just plain sheer imcompetence by the main dev. It's terrible to be that short-sighted.

I have too many nitpicks about this game to the point where i cant enjoy it anymore. First the snipers are stupid to go against feels like i have to sit in a corner if theres a sniper on me not necessarily bad but the fact that there is little to no foliage maps are really open and no cap on snipers its so annoying if your playing a sniper players can see you from 1000m away bc of the glint and for some reason AR's can kill you from that far. 2 vehichles are annoying bc you can sit on a hill and shoot people cross map still my feeling that there needs to be more balancing for infantry gameplay in general and vehichles can die to 1 infantry in 2 seconds due to everyone being able to hold 6 c4 and the fast running it gives vehichles little to no reaction time to the c4. Theres more i can rant about but im kinda given up on the game devs seem like they dont know where they even want the game to go.

Since when do online games have to get constant updates in order to be great? I feel like the Fortnite generation isn’t capable of enjoying a game unless it’s got seasons and seasonal content. Back in my day, we played BF2 until the cows came home, for years, and we were so happy with it we didn’t even bother with the DLC that was released later on. Now, a game in early access made by 3 developers is considered “dead” if the 3 devs don’t start releasing more content? Holy smokes, guys, it was $15 and there’s hundreds of hours of fun to be had in its current early access form.
