Love low poly shooters, they just scratch that particular itch for me

[@user-ne9sd4ow1o]

They usually feel better too because your PC doesn't have to spend time rendering skin pores and nose hairs 😅 BattleBit still feels better than most shooters

[@KingpinCarlito]

I have to say say this the perfect amount of low poly for me. It's detailed enough to where if you squint your eyes you can't tell that it's low poly.

[@xCheezburglarx]

@@KingpinCarlito Yeah it looks pretty nice. The updated character models are a huge improvement. A lot of poly games use the same character models, so it's nice to see one update that.

[@ekrow_music]

True. I hate this whole realistic as possible approach to modern games. Gimme good artstyles please.

[@darkeden5290]

one thing about spawn camping is that people on the camped team almost never use their spawn prot, if you don't shoot you can literally walk past the enemy with around 10 seconds of spawn prot

[@alexdasliebe5391]

Thank you for that info! 10 seconds sounds small but seems like it’d actually be a lot in game. Am I making sense? ✌🏼🤣👍🏼

[@GrocKing]

@@alexdasliebe5391 It actually is a lot. You can go more or less half the distance between the point and your base during that period. The maps are also designed for "clear and move" strat so you can pretty much cover half the distance , get in to cover and start blasting. Another tip is that there are places you can get onto on your base where you can more or less see a huge portion of the map from your base. Great for picking off people that are on point

[@OperatorJackYT]

Believe it or not, this game was more fun in its alpha stage lol Edit: for those asking I played this game when it first released back in 2020, It used to have WW2 era maps which were super fun to play. When the first major update came around it was really solid, But then they started adding microtransactions and changed the gunplay, now it's not even half as fun as it used to. Just my opinion though :)

[@alexdasliebe5391]

Operator Jack, I’m intrigued … details, please!

[@GrocKing]

@@alexdasliebe5391 TBH i played it on alpha and it felt bad imo. I was honestly suprised how good this game became when i checked out couple months ago. You can check the videos of it online.

[@slomp2313]

I have been playing polygon for 2 years now, met a great community behind this game and have talked to the devs. The game altho being in a wobly state (1 dev left, the main dev is making a new game part time and a bunch of future plans got trashed) The game keeps getting solid updates, the devs take player feedback well and altho it takes time for things to get done they get done. The main dev is making a even more inspired bf3- polygon "sequel" which sad you didn't mention but it looks absolutely amazing. This game is worth it. Try it out

[@SlCKNESS_]

What's the sequel's name?

[@slomp2313]

@@SlCKNESS_ currently its kinda unaned, the project go's under Polygon 2, if you want to know more about it in the patch notes on steam for the update "the art of war" they explain it a bit better

[@lolumadbro69-el9ly]

why would a "main" dev that has an unfinished game start a new project? "oh let me start a new project thats a sequel to a game that never came out of early access" sounds like these kids are worse than ubisoft.

[@slomp2313]

@@lolumadbro69-el9ly in reality the project the main dev is working on is trying to be what polygon was ment to be. But never turned out to be. For the rest the communication is very little. As most happens through discord and the dev is russian

[@caelanb1711]

I've never understood how people don't consider Battlefield to be a casual type of game. I would consider it to be one of the most casual shooters out there. I mean I wouldn't particularly call 64 players in a chaotic match lobbing explosives and bullets at each other while also blowing each other up with tanks and helicopters to be competitive. I've never played Battlefield with the intention of trying to be competitive, and I've rarely ever seen anyone on the games who try to be sweaty. Even BF4 tried to have a competitive scene with the defuse game mode that failed miserably because no one played it. It's just weird to me to see the title "The Perfect Casual Battlefield" when the the best casual Battlefield is Battlefield itself. It doesn't need a casual counterpart because it itself is a casual game.

[@beatsalad1]

battlefield is definitely a casual shooter, totally agree

[@CoolCraig31]

It's pretty casual, but I disagree on the sweats part. Just join a 24/7 server of operation locker and you'll see quite a bit of sweats bunny hopping with their aeks going 100-10ish k/d ratio. Also the vehicle sweats in golmud is pretty bad as well. 😅

[@beatsalad1]

@@CoolCraig31 well yeah thats why you dont play 24/7 of the worst map

[@disenasol8952]

Regarding footsteps: Welcome to the irl tinnitus experience of having issues to hear where people are generally in games.

[@GrocKing]

Played POLYGON for 80 hours now and i'd say spawncamping isn't as bad as you think. It seems the games/maps are unbalanced at first but the more you play the more you understand how the maps work. Bases are used as a valid spawning point rather than being "just your base". They are intentionally (i believe) made closer to capture points. A lot of the time i prefer spawning on base since i can get a good flank etc. I also would say game is not as casual as it seems to be. My simple explanation would be "Siege meets Battlefield meets Call of Duty". The game has a lean system where maps are heavily designed around this where you go cover from cover and clear as you progress forward. This actually goes hand in hand with "spawncamping" where you can slowly move forward as you kill enemies from your base hence the "back and forth spawncamping". This game actually makes getting spawncamped not an annoyance since you can just pop heads even when you're getting spawncamped. The team balancing definitely needs work but with how good the games mechanics are you are having fun even if you are getting spawncamped. My only complaint about the game would be how terrible it feels to play fast firing weapons like as val and vector. Very low damage (at range) and bullet velocity makes it a pain to use them. Other than that it's honestly an amazing game. The developer also started working on a second POLYGON game where it'll include destruction , vehicles and bigger maps/player count. No news yet other than some early development screenhots but i hope it'll be a big step forward.

[@coucoul38]

They announced they started developing Polygon 2 which is gonna be a proper Battlefield game.

[@Rafay_qayyum]

With vehicles?

[@madiskruusmann302]

I'm glad this game is getting more coverage again. I played it around a year ago or so and loved every second of playing it. I think it's amazing.

[@RainbowQueen23]

[@DMTEntity88]

If you guys want realism play Arma Reforger or Squad

[@andrededecraf]

people saying Battlefield is realistic it was something very stupid, Battlefield is not even considered a simcade, imagine "realistic"

[@GameFuMaster]

If I wanted realism, I'd go run outside

[@mekacrab]

@@andrededecraf They say that compared to COD, obviously. People initially used this argument to say why it was better than COD, most people knew it wasn't actually very realistic.

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

My 1st thought to dealing with the spawn camping from looking at the system they're currently working with: Widen the spawn-area around the edge of the map every time a point is captured, then remove an area when a point is re-captured. Could end up with the losing team have 3 of the 4 sides of a map to spawn from. Good luck camping that.

[@ItsmePaplo]

I got to learn about many cool games from you LevelCap, Thanks 😍

[@Sinsanatis]

ah polygon. i played it back around april 2022. clocked nearly 6 hours. it was fun, but def not something i saw myself continuing to play for too much longer. its great theyre still trucking along, but its not what im looking for atm

Thanks for uploading. Now I have another shooter for my steam deck baby

[@M2Savage]

Just nice to hear LevelCap say “Operation Metro” again. I was instantly 10 years younger. Man I miss BF3

[@scoobidywoobidy7214]

I've just reached over 200 hours in polygon, and have been playing it for almost two years now. It's been consistently one of my favorite games during those couple of years. The gunplay is interesting, each map has enough going for it to where I'm not particularly tired of any one map (the lack of new content and the repetitive nature of the game is something to note though). Above all, it's just fun. You can hop in and enjoy the game for what it is rather than being caught up in all of the sweat and grind that other games are these days.

[@Tpazmachine]

Nice to see the homage to Battlefield being so comfortable doing Battlefield in a great way!

[@fancynaeser9154]

Thanks for sharing this masterpiece! Also awesome how the crosshair is behaving while running etc.

[@Dethmeister]

Now we need something that's in between POLYGON and BattleBit Remastered. The scale and destruction of BattleBit but with slightly better character models and that still runs super smooth.

[@Marselo_CaztroARG]

the Dev is making a new game ( Polygon 2 ) and he says he will do max 64 players with more guns, vehicles and destructive enviroment!

[@IVIALL0Y]

GUN PLAY LOOKS AMAZING! DEVS TAKE NOTESS

[@FORTNITE_PCGAMER]

Combat master is the real goat

[@Loothansa]

I've put a little over 100 hours into Polygon. For how bare bones this game is I think the skill ceiling is actually quite high and its not as casual as it might look. You really have to approach it quite a bit more methodically than Battlefield or COD if you want to be consistently successful. And you have to learn to spot people and to control the guns. Full auto is very often not the most effective way in this game. Going for headshots is much more important.

[@JonMyers-hf8js]

@LevelCap there actually is a squad spawning system. Also, if you think about it, you would not be able to hear footsteps, enemy or friendly if there was gunfire going on around you constantly.

[@EmilKlingberg]

Spawn camping is so easy to solve from a lvl design perspective its bizarre how developers keep ending up in that situation. You just got to have multiple spawn locations to choose from, and make sure that they are all placed in ways that allow you to flank the others. so if you get pushed down to one spawn, the other spawns will defend the first etc.

[@MyFatherLoves]

Ain't nothin casual about them 180 wrist flicks. You monster. haha

[@Caspeaon]

yeah this game is really fun the only issue has ever been content, one dev just was not enough to support a game like this. Glad to see there's more now and the game is doing well they deserve it the game is really good, ill definitely check it out again when it enters 1.0.

Hey idk If they just added this in after your video, but there is actually a squad spawning mechanic. It looks like it's only for pre-made squads, but if they can make auto-joining squads it should help alleviate that spawn camping you were worried about :)

Correction: there is a squad spawn system, but only if you start a lobby in the main menu and then join a game. Also the spawn boundary is even more bugged because it disappears if you have a scope on your gun (for example an ACOG). Fun game non the less. Just hop on for a game, grind some XP and you're done.
