Battlebit Is Better Than Battlefield (And It Isn't Even CLOSE)

[@MrHappyFunshine]

I managed to get into a few playtests, and man, it's like the Bad Company days just chaos, destruction and fun times.

[@Stalltt]

There are a couple more this week starting tomorrow, it seems like they are getting way more frequent.

[@Xenonimax]

@@Stalltt don’t forget about stress tests too, limited servers but double xp and around 5 hours of server time

[@mcgilliman]

Great to hear, BC2 was my favorite BF game.

[@bbrtryhard]

the community mix of mil-simmers, in between-battlefielders and cod-csgo-overwatch-twitch-shooters in general makes for an enjoyable community that allows sweaty tryharding or casual sniping and even role-playing, trolling without anyone missing out on the fun it seems. great stuff.

[@teondrehughes670]

One time I was playing as a Russian and the enemy flanked my group of 3 and downed me, then called me a filthy commie and I was just dying xD

[@Maggot-Milk]

It's a wonderful time when the community is having as much fun in the vc than as in the game. Whether its when the match starts and everyone is excited or being under heavy fire and everyone is panicking.

Its just so good already. Needs a couple balance tweaks but that's what all the playtests are for. My favorite moment in any shooter ever came from the last playtest. I got sniped while setting a landmine, then the enemy rushed in, blasted all my team and took cover. I made cat noises while bleeding out and when they came over to mess with my body, BOOM! Post mortem quad kill.

What these over payed managers don’t get is that passion for gaming and modding is what the golden age of gaming was all about. The most passionate and daring devs came out on top. Now it’s come around full circle and the Indy scene is keeping the passion alive.

Yes. Very good and healthy balance. When current AAA release cycles take decades, indies are what's kept the gamers active

[@jackriley3340]

apparently the game was inspired by the inability to play squad on a bad pc so they may stick to low poly purely for performance

[@randomdude8877]

The Voip feature is so cool. Makes team based shooters just so much more fun, also you can get immediate information and callouts about the situaiton. Nice game

Being able to just build sandbags and shit as a engineer is fun. This game has so much attention to detail.

[@sharkpetro2288]

@@chunkblaster You can still play it, thpugh there are about 10-40 players average globally, sometimes a hundred but that's very rare. It's called build and shoot and its the original game just hosted on a site with a different name for legal reasons. There is also an alternative client called betterspades that I highly recommend that is just the original but the render is made properly, so it doesn't lag on older PCs. And openspades if you want graphics but I heard there are some things changed so it's slightly unfair against classic clients. Both clients have a server browser built in like in other games and you play on the same servers with everyone else. Though the most active servers are almost always hallway and tower of babel the community is awesome and it's nice to hop on a half empty server or even one with 3 players and chat while you're shooting each other. It's a shame that there are only a few good maps and you can't wander around a dense forest on a beautiful map full of players and structures like in 2015. I missed the fun because I was too dumb to comprehend the concept of having a server list in a browser as a child and couldn't play, but I watched the crap out of it on KZbin.

Proximity chat is easily one of the biggest dealbreakers for me nowadays in any multiplayer shooter.

Not being able to talk to teammates you're standing right next to is the dumbest mechanic in the world and AAA devs need to stop it

The excuse is that they dont want peopple "trolling" or swearing, which is such a dumb excuse in my opinion

[@Raptor091288]

@@Komyets It's only going to get worse in the AAA sphere with "live services" and trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator (read: 12 year olds with mom's credit card) who don't want to (or aren't allowed to) hear mean words. China is also a huge influence on this sort of thing, with more and more games deliberately changing the game internationally to appease Chinese censors. Lots of money there, but without fail it will ALWAYS hurt the quality of the end product. Indie games will probably follow suit EVENTUALLY, once Steam is inevitable taken over by the usual suspects that have ruined nearly everything else and their censorship policies go into overdrive. For now though, they're sort of the last bastion for, well, fun.

[@Raptor091288]

In my opinion, the Battlefield series peaked at 2. Made by the developers of the desert combat mod for 1942, who were promptly fired after finishing the game, that was also around the time I realized how scummy EA was, and they've only gotten worse. BC2 was a great entry don't me wrong, but there's more nostalgia for me in the desert combat mod and 2. I have yet to see another game (mod in this case) allow you to fire a remote-controlled SCUD missile directly into an apache flying over an outpost.

Is this game in steam?

[@j.d.4697]

Have a look at *Star Citizen* instead. The FPS gameplay is more like Tarkov, although even more clunky and laggy half the time, but if you enjoy depth you can test it for free during a Free Fly Event or just buy the game for like $45 and refund within 30 days if you don't like it. Like there is that current FPS event where a remote part of a city is getting invaded by an enemy faction, including ships, and you go on a PROPER PVE mission. My first run was awesome, my most recent run last night was so buggy and laggy that I got sick of it. 12 hours later and I want back in... 😅

for a while now, no game has made being a medic fun. hell let loose had the voip but no drag. battlefield ruined it with specialists, and never really improved upon the feature, its been stale since forever. and squad is a fun game. but its one of those games where, unless you want to fully dive deep into a ocean instead of play in the puddles. prep for a little bit of a learning curve. firestorm vietnam, fun but kinda just chaos to be chaos battlebit has been so damn fun to play as a medic im addicted, god i hope they get constant servers soon or allow people to host or something.

I find it weird that not more Battlefield clones exist. Why haven’t another big budget AAA company tried to make their own Battlefield yet? What I mean is a high player conquest game with vehicles, classes and destruction and casual gameplay. I feel like it could have sold really well especially since people have not been happy with Battlefield for so many years now. Most games that are similar to Battlefield are hardcore mil-sims that doesn’t appeal to casual gamers and most of them are PC exclusive too.

[@Stalltt]

Yeah they haven't set up a proper anti-cheat yet so they restricted all accounts made in the past year. The only way to bypass is to be a supporter on patreon and connect your discord account in game (you get a bunch of in-game skins and one month of patreon counts as a full game pre-order when it releases) and then on their discord you can ask a mod to whitelist you. You should be really sure you want to play the game on release or you have the spare cash before you support the patreon though.
