They gotta use some of that money they made to hire more developers

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Couldn't agree more my friend, personally.

[@spingebill8551]

That’s honestly the only complaint I got about the battlebit team. They can’t get enough content out fast enough. For the sake of their player retention they need to do that ASAP, I say that as someone who has grinded everything I wanted in the game and don’t play much anymore because of it.

[@mrmime7453]

@@spingebill8551 oki refuses to do it. he doesn't like working in a team like that(ironic) he says it takes longer than him doing it himself because his code is messy af and he would have to teach the new devs and review all their code and he doesn't want to do it.

[@Cifer77]

The revamped sound design is going to be huge, but unfortunately its not flashy. Situational awareness via sound design is a very integral but often overlooked part of game design (from a player perspective). Being able to actually tell where fire is coming from, being able to differentiate sounds of enemies and friendlies, these sound updates are gonna rock.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Yeah this is the concern I have with the sound update too - very important, but is not a flashy thing that will necessarily drive the players back in.

[@spingebill8551]

I agree with everything said here. Battlebit is in the perfect position to become a multiplayer game people will play literal decades into the future like TF2, especially with the low PC usage art style. They just got to keep the content rolling fast. Also like someone said, mod support would be nice. Just imagine all the custom servers that could be tactical style gameplay, rust clones, etc.

[@Mr.Finklebottom]

Mod support would be a game changer. I would love to see what people would do with this game.

[@asifkaka5052]

Not gonna lie with the amount of Content that they have given us it is still more polished then EA's Battlefield 2042.

[@ShappyMusic]

It actually isnt, 2042 is 10$ right now so if u have money to spare i do recommend the game, its not a awesome battlefield game, but its ok and it scratch's the itch for battlefield style pvp :b

[@LutgardisLul]

2 gripes in battlebits, snipers shining brighter than the sun, and littlebird being so strong without any hard counters to it, if they would find a balance between scope glare and making birds less tanky vs small arms fire since theres no way to force it back like with other battlefield games and sam/flare interactions. sniping should get reworked if its such a problem where it doesnt gain damage over range instead it remains a 2 shot for body shots, and remove the glare to balance it out, the movement already makes it hard to get clean shots at times so this should help balance it out.

[@LutgardisLul]

2042 is too arcadey on the movement, legit saw a clip of cod and thought it was bf2042, not all shooters need slide cancelling aaaaaaaaa game designers smh, and it lacks destructibility in older maps, battlebits is dying out hard due to not doing consistent updates and addressing issues like the littlebird being too strong at what it does.@@ShappyMusic

[@CAMIKAZE78]

100%. Don't think anyone denies that at all haha.

[@ShappyMusic]

@@LutgardisLul its less arcade on the movement than battlebit, both are games with cod-like movement that were marketed as the opposite It feels like copium at this point trying to compare both games when battlebit is going in the same direction

[@a2daj83]

as a casual andy it just became a bit boring. i didnt love every map, i wasnt dropping 150 kills per game, and sometimes that amount of players is a sensory overload if you play it consistantly. i had a break and then tried to come back and i felt like a fish out of water, which really showed how much attention i had been paying when i played every night, and i'm not even super sweat, i prefer to win and shoot more stuff than shoots me but i'm galaxies away from shroud etc.

[@3iqGarry]

I always end up just playing 32 v 32

[@LuckyKnightJP]

they should release tools so people can make custom maps. rising storm 2 vietnam did it and helped the games life span

[@MakutaOfficial]

I love Battlebit for what it is- A complete package for $15.00. I don't think a lot of people really appreciate that aspect since I presume most people hopped off Battlebit because other games were having new "seasonal" content that was very FOMO related. The greatest upside is also battlebit's greatest downside, IMO: It respects the players time commitment by not having any FOMO related mechanics or in-game microtransactions.

[@johnernest5843]

I agree with this, and its what keeps me coming back to Battlebit on and off I can come and play a few rounds as a run and gun arcade shooter, or I can play more tactically as a support machine gunner or engineer. I can unlock things as I go along, and I'm not missing out on anything by not playing and keeping up with the meta. All in all, I'm extremely satisfied for the money I paid for it and Im excited to see what improvements they still make going forward.

[@poltergeist9972]

I am just hoping for mod supports, honestly

[@spingebill8551]

It would be cool to see it become the GMOD of multiplayer first person shooters

[@mrmime7453]

Oki for some reason does not want to give any mod support. It would prob be a lot of work but it would give the game a huge breath of fresh air. I hope he reconsiders one day.

[@HabarudoD]

I am a bit scared of what they're doing with the game tbh. It may just be me worried for nothing though... But I am so against increasing TTK and having it ending up like a "wet paper shooter" like APEX, Planetside, TF2 etc where you're just shooting enemies forever and nothing dies. They're reducing effective range of weapons to bring the lethality down, catering to the SMG mains, which I feel is contradictory to the philosophy of the game. Why have sight-lines of up to thousand of meters if you can only shoot under 100m and deal actual damage (snipers not included, but DMRs seems to also be nerfed??). Why is bleeding being removed? I thought the entire POINT of BBR was to have a game where Arcade players could feel at home, while introducing milsim-esque elements... But they increased bandage speeds etc, making the entire healing/bleeding system superfluous, so they're just removing bleeding now... I'm just... I feel like this game that was made for me, will, with the next update, and has for a few updates, been changing towards a game that's no longer for me. Again, this may just be me overreacting, I won't know until the update drops, but I am so tired of 100% of the changes is making the game more and more like a 100% arcade shooter. If I wanted that I'd be playing CoD or BF or The Finals or something. I don't want to move at 1000 mph... :/

[@palmabolp]

From the stuff that was speculated, at worst, the TTK for 95% of guns won't go past half a second. Otherwise yeah, we will see what the game will be like in the next update. I'm cautiosly optimistic. There are a lot of things at play and if things don't work out, some changes will likely be reverted.

[@TheIlandarLegacy]

"the entire POINT of BBR was to have a game where Arcade players could feel at home, while introducing milsim-esque elements" I don't know if that actually works, though. People were okay with it through testing when their time with the game was severely limited and there was nothing else to play, but as soon as it released I think many realised that the mechanics weren't actually fun. The milsim stuff is annoying for the arcade crowd, and the arcade stuff is annoying for the milsim crowd. The people who sit in the middle and enjoy both make up a very small minority of the total playerbase and are too small of a target market for the developers to focus on long-term. It sounds like they've learned this the hard way after watching their game's playerbase completely dissipate post-release.

[@palmabolp]

@@TheIlandarLegacy I'd argue that not enough playtesting and lack of proper dev response to led to what is happening to Battlebit right now, instead of the mix of arcadey/milsimesque gameplay, which from my knowledge is what people really came to Battlebit for. If there was more playtesting, some problems won't be as persistent as they are now. Many things actually stayed exactly the same since the playtests, which honestly gives battlebit a form of staleness to it. And the devs honestly have not adressed it properly. Like you said, they learned it the hard way.

[@TheIlandarLegacy]

@@palmabolp People came to BattleBit because Battlefield 2042 failed catastrophically. If that game had met even the bare minimum of expectations BattleBit never would've taken off in the way that it did.

[@bennyb.1742]

@@palmabolp My fear is that the TTK goes up for the wrong guns. I REALLY hate stuff like getting a good angle on someone with an AUG, they get shot, spin-round and aimbot BRRRRRR you with an Mp7 from 75m! BBR has always kind of favored high ROF weapons. In spite of its psuedo-sim nature, a lot of the gun stuff is just kind of wackadoo. The longest barreled 5.56 gun is the weakest? Tiny micro caliber PDW kills faster than an LMG!?

[@honorguard7616]

being honest, I would prefer we kept bleeding rather than remove it

[@cloudwalker9572]

Yes, I think they should lower the bleeding threshold though. Having to bandage everytime you fall under 50% makes you run out too fast. under 25% would be in my opinion perfect.

[@guillermoelnino]

@@cloudwalker9572 I think bleeding is fine how it is.

The only thing I would change about bleeding is not being able to spot enemies when you bleed because thats just highly disadvantageous to enemy

I still play BB 2-3 nights a week (what spare time I have) ticking in at 3-6 hours. I’m half way through prestige level 2 and after 9(?) months I still enjoy it. Initially I had a K/D ratio of 0.55, now I’m at 1.6 overall. I really enjoy the game, and in order to not rely on the game itself to keep me engaged, I just kept focusing on getting better. This can be positioning, headshots, estimating range or adjusting pace. One major benefit to BB is that you can leave the game whenever. A huge win for those of us who got kids

[@atomiccheddar]

Make SMGs not good at everything.... Great gameplay improvement. It would allow other weapon classes to serve a purpose.

[@bennyb.1742]

The problem is that they intended to have a proper armor system with penetration ect. and never did it. So all guns are just DMG x ROF = TTK. 9mm is just as good as 7.62 NATO in game, so just take the fastest ROF gun and go to town. SMG's are too good in game because they wanted realistic ranges (100 yard shots with a sub gun arnt that difficult IRL) but never implemented the system that would make different kinds of weapons matter!

[@masonbronson3194]

The issue is the main playerbase is only on a few servers and those servers have toxic sweats that ruin any new player experience they can have so they move on.

[@OldTime--Gamer]

did they reverted back the ping mechanic cuz i stopped playing it after they introduces the srupid radial menu to ping enemies and build which is extremely shiffy and laggy and clunky

[@RAGEINGChiken]

I think we as the community kind of brought this on with so much talk of them taking the lead and being the new kings and how they were the new BF. They never were and they wont be. At least not with this game. Battlebits all time total was still less than BF2042, there highest average is lower and there average concurrent players is lower. That's just comparing steam numbers, and not looking at BFs console numbers. Its not to bag on Battlebit, but when we keep putting those labels on it, its setting anything they do, to fall short of expectations. I also think the Devs are stuck between a rock and hard place. On one had they are trying hard to keep a very entitled and hypocritical consumer base happy (lets face it, gamers want polished content releases, as often as possible and for as cheap as possible when it comes to live service games, which is just an impossible ask) while at the same time trying to live up to the pedestal the youtube community put it on when they hype trained the game for views. Along with the identity crisis, its kinda the perfect storm for failure and the fact that it hasn't failed is a testament to the devs. Now if they ad on top of everything the logistical complexities of trying to hire and train new people for something 3 guys did as a passion project with no real intention of starting a development company and probably have zero experience doing so. And the rate they are releasing stuff is well beyond what it should be. All that to say I do agree that for 3 people they are pushing the limits of what is possible and it seems more and more like that limit is going to break. I hope the team takes its time and understands that getting the content out correctly is more important then player count, because they have one safety net, and that is official release. Which will bring back players. Rushing out content to "keep" player counts high is what killed WW3, a game where the devs failed to take the time they needed on game that held a ton of promise.

[@leana339]

Bought it first at release and i got nausea and headaches from the games and couldn't play it much. Then a few weeks ago tried it again this time no headaches from the game but holy moly was it sweaty. Played 3 matches and since then i just ignored it again.

[@DamionTheActor]

Maybe add a point shooting animation for the guns. Small detail, but would be cool to see.

[@holgeradler707]

I guess it is still not possible to set up your loadout before hopping in the game?

[@lee-cl8td]

Somewhat consistent player here in 2024, I think the only real problem is that a lot of guns and gadgets dont serve a purpose. To explain more, why would I ever take the acr if I can take the mp5 and see way more success. Why take the mg36 when the fal beats it 9/10 times. Every game I take c4 because nothing else makes as much of an impact, no pun intended. I like the game so I use a random gun every game and it is fun but I think for more casual players there are few loadouts to have fun with and anything but those loadouts forces you to either try hard, lose badly or invest many hours until you're good enough to have fun with the subpar loadouts.

[@skipiago]

Is there a possibility it'll be released for consoles?

[@icetea8946]

I remember buying battlebit when it was at its peak popularity , i fell in love with how the guns felt and sniping (except vector users, f off) . I got bored after hitting level 200 and didnt find prestiging being worth it. Uninstalled after 150hrs , I hope the devs can bring back the game with this update, i really did enjoy it

[@BIazendraco]

I do love playing battlebit, it was a major upgrade from 2042 that I was playing prior to battlebit's release, my only complaint is the map selection. I've had multiple sessions that were just 2 hours of orange maps because they're popular maps, the maps are fun but when they're the same 2 maps for 2 hours, it just mentally burns you out.

[@MajinStrach]

I have picked it back up again after a long break, game seems in a better place gameplay wise, but i am playing and not really observing much

[@allenliu8820]

There are multiple reasons why I stopped playing battlebit, for one thing the game has gotten boring because there is no new content. Each game no longer feels dynamic, the player base has become too competitive and somewhat toxic leading to less and less players using voice chat and communicating with one another. Sniping, the only reason why I play battlebit is extremely difficult with all these changes because you are forced to bandage up even if you don't die because that next sniper shot is gonna mess you up really badly or who knows the next dmr, assault rifle, and even the lmg. Due to map voting, map variety has disappeared. Certain maps where I used to have fun are no longer played because they aren't popular. People play the same 4 maps over and over again and I hate it. Also the same old domination because I have no fucking clue why people like this gamemode over and over again. It is a good game mode, but there are so many other game modes where you can have some gameplay variety. Medics no longer help you because people are getting impatient and respawn. I think adding if medics were to be reviving you, the person you are reviving and is trying to skip, will have their gage slow down to give medics enough time to save you before you skip and respawn. Another thing that I hate about battlebit is the map colors and map layout. The maps feel really similar to each other and it feels somewhat dead inside. Please, some lore and better map design will go a long way to making battlebit a more fun experience.

[@bennyb.1742]

I've been calling for larger incentive for capturing points and doing objectives for a long time. I even play on conq only servers and VERY few people use comms and capture points now. It's just 256 individual people playing their own game of team death match. That's why everyone votes Dom on the same shitty maps, they just want to play death match. I don't understand that because it's not this game! It kind of boggles my mind why the general pub-scrub just wants to exclude most of the features of the game they've purchased!

[@Eggy-on-Tour]

i'm still playing it and i love it 🤗 big ups to the devs!

[@bennyb.1742]

I sat at lvl 200 for 6 months, finally prestiged and that killed it for me. I was kind of board of my pretty dialed load outs, so I thought prestiging would add some new vigor. Instead I'm sad about losing my setups.

[@cody_lit9280]

U dont lose any attachments tho. It just resets ur rank and u have to unlock the guns again. Its not that bad im prestige 6

[@guillermoelnino]

that's why I only prestige once to get the black camo. I knew there was nothing else I wanted fro it.

[@Killoer]

A lot of good games came out in Early Access that had a big boom; but content definitely takes time; even some of the devs of said games say they will be awaiting return of players once update does happen. I hope it gets rejuvenated when the content does finally drop; but until then haven't had a reason to play for a bit.

[@bizcut]

I think the potential is absolutely there. The movement and gunplay feel good. Fortunately I can also play in higher ping servers when my region isn't as populated, and it's very playable. I think F2P model might be a potential consideration to bring in a new base. I'm hoping they also release maps more like OP Locker/Metro, definitely a wider arsenal of weapons and attachments, class specializations. I think they should give recon classes spawn beacons, to balance the nerf to med scope glint and bullet trail. Let's see what happens next, I'll stay optimistic.

[@vsaucelover9660]

You are kinda right but also wrong in the same time , yes not having a lot of content can decline player numbers , but that's not entirely whats happening here , the devs said themselves "95% of new player refund the game after a few rounds " . The game at launch was really friendly for new players , the movement was really similar to battlefield 1-3 , and as result it lowered the entry point of new players , in which it resulted in a more casual playerbase . After they started to update the game with the new movement and the balancing that sometime didn't addressed the issue , the devs introduced a learning curve that while making the game deep in terms of mechanics , it also removed the aspect of fun that thw game had . Another reason why players stopped playing battlebit is because there isn't a reson to , a lot of people played the game because it reminded them of old battlefield and stupid fun that they had , and then later found out that it was basically just like warzone but worse. (I do not own the game and i never played , but it the same time i am not going to if the game is just another fps with fast movement mechanic , honestly the market is starting to get oversaturated with them) Tldr: The issue is not just the lack of content , but the fact that older players that made the community good mostly left ,because of the new uldates made the game sweaty and generic with unfair mechanics for new players . So basically most of thw server have a few fryhards that run at mach speed dominate the new players

[@Optical_Ollusion]

I actually preferred it before when the leveling was much slower. After that update I unlocked everything and got max level really really quickly. And I started losing interest immediately. Also my other biggest gripe is that I've ran into so many cheaters that go unchecked. I tried to keep up with reporting them but it became too much. Its too easy to find working cheats for this game. It feels like they're not addressing the cheaters at all

[@Clericq3]

Whatever happens to the core of the game; could they do something like make it so we could all play on certain patches, or at least save this format if they are going to completely make it into something else? Would be cool, because I do enjoy the heck out of this game.

I play everyday but its usually a game for 2 before i get bored and then i go play something else. This update bette be worth it haha

[@stuglife5514]

Battle bit is mostly great, but man, it’s not fun to play anymore. SMGs still outclass assault rifles, the maps often don’t feel very balanced, so many areas just lack any kind of cover, some objs are placed really badly and are hard to defend, the time to kill it way too slow with most weapons, vehicle cameras actually hurt my eyes to use, between the non stop sniper and SMG spam, it’s impossible to just use a gun and have fun. It feels like you *have* to use the competavily viable weapons. After 60 hours in the game, I’m not even to level 100. All the semi decent guns are locked behind level 50, and even then you get like one new gun every 10 levels and it takes dozens of kills to get mediocre attachments for your mediocre weapons. The game is such a time sink it’s not even fun anymore

[@clomense]

The problem with Battlebit is that after a while, it gets too repetitive. And people get bored of it. I'm not talking about skins and new guns here. I'm talking about new game mechanics and harder level up system. Warzone is also as repetitive, but it is always having a big player count, be like warzone.

[@klank7652]

They need to fix the ranks, its so easy to unlock new weapons, and tbh these weapons arent very different from each other

[@Neshoba1337]

Honestly my drive to play Battlebit dropped hard due to the completely unreasonable changes to sniper rifles. Seriously, Bullet trails?? Why only snipers, give every gun bullet trains if your gonna pull that shit. And the the scope glint on medium scope ONLY on sniper rifles... That kind of inconsistency on the same attachments on different guns does not feel good at all. The game is still fun, but I feel Targeted by the devs personally and I'm sure all the other recon players feel the same.

Couple of reasons I don’t plan on giving this game any more of my time is because of the Dev’s. 2/3 of them at least. If you’ve watched a DevCast on their Twitch channel then you know what I’m talking about. The fact that the Map developer isn’t open to any sort of criticism at all makes me think that he doesn’t care and never will. Look at the Basra update. No one wanted it and it’s arguably a worse version of the map. The sound update. Any instance of damage felt like you were underwater.

[@iamosoli493]

I think battlebit is still a great game. Some games don’t require constant new updates and this game still has a lot of progression with each weapon and still a great sense of community. Just give the devs time since the game is still great

[@andreserras4410]

you didn't realise that battle bit is a proper live service game,and with way bigger live service life than bf 2042. it will be going on and on and on , it's not going to be the shiniest thing in the box, but I always comeback.

[@wolfevickery6081]

Great game. Much better than most FPS. They def need to nurf some stuff. People might say cheating does not happen you can tell the diff between someone who is really good and someone who makes impossible multiple shots (aiming bots etc) If it didn't still happen they would not have a reason to have a cheat report. If you think its just great players your kidding yourself. But game wise, they need to nurf people being able to jump around like a jack rabbits. More importantly, the biggest improvement would be changing respawn. You should not be able to respawn directly back into the battle on a squad member. This makes killing someone pointless at taking a point. IT might also force people to heal members shot that they now need to take a point. This could create spawn camping...but gotta be a happy medium somewhere. Great game ...still playing and loving it.

[@remipoujoulat7759]

This is a very good game, but this is becoming elitist as hell. I want to play support, but I HATE playing support. Support should be one of the most important class in the game, right now, it is not. SMGs are, were and will always be OP with little investment in skills. LMGs and support guns in general can't find their place in the game. It is a good game, but unbalanced and out of date. Even TF2 gets balance better than Battlebit.

[@cloudwalker9572]

Slow and steady wins the race. For me the game is already finished, it's already the best fps in the market. If I have one complaint though is how the devs has left the snippers in the gutter since last update, by trying to make them less campy they made them only viable in playing at the end of the map with 200+ meters snipes as you will lose duels otherwise. Honestly I'm more worried about a new patch ruining the game than improving it, someone said that the new audio will have things like birds singing and other things to make the world more alive and I frankly do not give a f about that. My fps background is counter strike, I want to hear information on ennemy and ally location and that's it I don't care about graphics and immersion I want intel. I also heard they are looking into increasing the ttk which makes me really really worried.

With the fund they have received from the success, what do you think of them making battlebit 2 that has the graphics closer to battlefield. Will it be good or will it be like world war 3?

[@cloudwalker9572]

You cannot release something to look alike battlefield with 3 devs or even 10 and the dev team wants to stay small which I personally agree with. The more people you add to a project the more the vision change so I think it would flop.

[@major3336]

That gameplay at the intro is still one issue of mine. I stopped playing cause I was tired of SMGs one tapping me at AR ranges before I realized I was being shot at. I’ve had a lot of lag on top of that. They need faster servers or something cause the little red Network icons are almost always on the side of my screen. I then go play any battlefield game or COD right afterward, and be perfectly fine.

[@bennyb.1742]

The SMG has always been a problem. It's sort of a design issue with the game. What I've been yelling about since beta is to put a limit on certain classes, namely snipers. What happens in BBR is that you've got to avoid exposure at all costs or you're getting sniped by the hordes of non-participant sniper campers, so that pushes your into close range engagements where an SMG is going to work really well. I believe if you put a cap on the amount of snipers, the "jack of all trades" nature of the ARs would mean you'd catch SMG zoomers in the open more, and not be getting picked off by campers as much. The second BIG issue is that armor penetration was never implemented. They always intended to, but never did. That really bones the gameplay because now its just Damage X ROF = ttk. Why would anyone use an AR that does 30dmg when the tiny PDW does 27 with twice the ROF?

[@curiosity780]

@@bennyb.1742 doesnt help that ar's dont have a really significant range advantage over smgs, not just in damage falloff but with recoil, bullet velocity and inaccuracy

[@SarntRoos]

They really need a small team ranked mode. I mentioned it to them before and nobody was really interested in what I had to say. A good game has a casual mode and ranked mode. It has items to unlock, stats, and if they introduced a replay system that would be dope for content creators. I loved the game and feel but for me it was a really good warm up for other games and I stopped playing to go grind the ranked mode in other games. I love this game but I need something in the game to keep me playing it and for me it would be a 3v3 or 5v5 small map ranked mode, or at least something similar. Just my opinion.

[@SarntRoos]

Honestly I’m not surprised they haven’t outsourced some tasks

[@mrmime7453]

Oki is slowly working on this but currently I think it is on the back burner and has some stupid limitations where you have to be prestige 2 AND its clan only so you make a lobby and get a clan code invite and give it to the participants. But that could be subject to change.

[@SarntRoos]

Even with limitations I would be ok with that, maybe have some clan emblems and if you beat the other team you gain some rank xp of some sort and have a showcase room where all of the emblems of all of the clans you beat can be posted on a wall or something for the extra content.

[@TPW13]

you don't need to update regularly to keep players.. just look at cs2 😂

[@PleasentryGames]

Counterstrike is in a very unique situation, the base game itself is so drawing to players that even after years without updates many of players will still come back for what counterstrike is. It is is very likely no other game can or will reach this level of player dedication again.

[@cloudwalker9572]

@@PleasentryGames It's because the game is based on depth rather than novelty. That's why counter strike still strive after all this time. This game has the potential to be the lasting battlefield like game.

[@djtot731]

The developers HAVE to make one MILSIM server, with increased damage, decreased speed, more use of commander raylics. MESSAGE about it in their social networks, and a lot of players who have been waiting for SQUAD for the poor will be happy to sit down and start generating content, different from the arcade wankery.

I haven't touched the game for about 3 months because I don't like the only Australian server and I'm bored of Conquest.

[@jacoboff4529]

Anyone who has actually stayed with the game knows the devs do not seem to care about major issues with the game. The communities created on the game are dying do to ddos attacks on their community ran servers. Black screens, and lack of content and responses from the devs. The dev cast say it all. The game is dying it was having maybe 2k for weeks to months only increasing with the price reduction. But this DOORS update will only bring players back a little longer than the Outskirts update. The game is just swallow with content for long progression.

[@paristo]

The root of all problems in Battlebit, is that it is not even trying to be a team based game, with a objective to be semi-realistic military shooter. All the elements are there, but they are just all over the places without any sensible reason. And then some very unbalance elements are protected by the developers own idea, that is directly cause for the major chaos and "how many I can kill before I die" mentality that game is suffering. There are very simple ways to fix everything, but it is so unwanted by very tiny minority that is loud as duck flock, and you can even have a civilized arguments about it before they attack the person. One major changes that developers would need to do are: 1) Every class should be very strictly different and dedicated for their purposes. Example, medics are without any other gun than sidearm/handgun. Their job is to save lives, to avoid team lose points, to keep the squad in combat and functional. Only the engineer should be able to build and demolish stuff. The assault should be only one with the assault rifle. The recon should be fastest, the silent/stealthy long range shooter that you can't find even if you look at it main purpose to take out squad leader (and only one access to DMR and SR, with sidearm, and nothing else), or very close recon player marking where enemies are while totally hidden. The support should be the deadliest of all, most effective, devastating firepower that no one dares to challenge. 2) Remove the kills/death counter. Do not promote individual ego boosting. Focus to squad and teamwork. Give players more points, as in XP and hence more experience to gain to unlock guns, ranks, attachments etc, by completing the objectives. There is no need for the kill counter, it is obsolete idea already for team games. 3) Slow down the game, dramatically. If you sprint, you can't just stop or quickly turn around. Limit the turning rate when sprinting. Slow down the sprinting by 30% so you have reason to use vehicles to transport you! Remove the air control when you jump around. Remove the quick dropping to prone while continuing shooting and killing, it is boring to kill those who try that idiotic move. 4) remove the tracers, they don't add a thing to game where you would need to have situational awareness by your skills! 5) Add NVG penalties against muzzle flash that blinds you in close quarter combat, the flashlight should blind you completely by washing your vision even when you use it, the stun grenade should completely blind you for 10 seconds... Start having more night games where players need totally different tactics and gameplay mechanics and force it by making it random per map type, or allow server run all just by night mode.

[@Cifer77]

Honestly, every single one of these "there's not enough content coming quickly enough", "the playerbase is going down", "it's been too long" is completely IRRELEVANT for an Early Access game. Players running to other titles, doesn't matter. When the game is actually finished, they can bring people back. The devs literally say they aren't marketing the game until it's in a state that will keep players, the game simply isn't finished. But people have this assumption that once a game starts "declining" there's no way back, dead, may as well give up on it.
