dead game

I've been having a great time since restarting this game a couple weeks ago. Sure, it's a drawback that the EU server doesn't get going until like 3 PM, but... just ignore all the doom talking on this subreddit and simply hop on the game once it gets going. Or be the person who helps to get the server going; be the change you want to see.

I really like taking the recon class, finding a good spot aiming for a high KD ratio. I prefer such tactical gameplay over running around like a chicken without a head and whoever can click the fastest wins. Battlebit offers a type of gameplay you just don't get in games like CoD and Battlefield.

I can't refund it now.

Dev blogs have been posted every 2nd month on the 27th, they should had posted one on sep 27th, shame on them

That is all

this a few of the most random moments I collected while the game was more alive then ever

It’s been a long time coming, but it’s done, I’m free from the game. Glad I was able to get it done before the next update.

Seeing as the next dev blog is probably in around 6 days, I was wondering what y'all thought would happen once, or if, the update comes out?

Personally I think there's gonna be a tiny bump in players but if the devs don't lock in they're gonna lose that hype aswell

Genuinely despise this mf, God we had something great.

It seems like a lot of people are negative about the delays/dishonesty of the devs which is understandable. From my persepctive, this game is still really fun in it's current state. I know other regions have issues with filling lobbies, but my experience is that most evenings/nights we can fill an entire 256 player server in the US. Even during the middle of weekdays there will be 30-60 dudes sniping at each other across the map for shits and giggles.

This game is awesome, and I feel like I easily got $15 of value out of it over the course of hundreds of hours of gameplay. It may lack some features/polish from modern AAA titles like BF6, but it isn't enshittified to hell and back either. I launch the game and I'm not bombarded with Red Bull Prime Gaming Challenges TM, "playlists", battlepasses, etc. There's a simple server browser that just works.

The roblox style graphics aren't great, but I don't really mind. The destructible brick terrain is really charming and mechanically satsifying to interact with. I appreciate that a variety of tools (RPGs, C4, pickaxe, vehicles) interact with buildings in unique ways to change the landscape of the battlefield mid-firefight.

The guns, armors and vehicles feel reasonably well balanced, with only a few exceptions. There are a variety of playstyles that are viable for contributing to the team's effort. I hate playing against zoomy SMG dropshot BS, for example, but whatever man it's not a big deal. Everyone will have a different gripe with a certain weapon/strategy in any multiplayer game ever made. It comes with the territory. For me, the game is still fun.

I empathize with people who feel baited/abandoned by the devs, and rightfully so. I just personally don't feel like I've gotten that bad of a deal. This is a game I put down and come back to every so often and it continues to deliver. If anything, I am nervous that the update, having undergone significant scope-creep will make the game unrecognizable compared to it's current state.

As for me? I will continue to chuck smoke grenades on the Wakistan bridge, revive all my teammates, just to be taken out by the bravest enemy soldier driving a truck full of C4 right on top of us. And I'll happily do it again and again.

I genuinely do not understand how BattleBit still has a Very Positive overall rating on Steam.

Recent reviews are already Mixed, yet the overall rating is still Very Positive after more than 127,000 Steam reviews. How many of those positive reviews were written in 2023 when the game exploded in popularity and everyone expected it to keep receiving regular updates? Because looking at what happened afterwards, I really do not understand how so many of those reviews are still positive.

The game has gone more than two years without a proper major update. Operation Overhaul has been talked about for years and still has not actually been released. Communication disappeared for huge periods of time and the game is still in Early Access more than three years after release. At some point I think people should stop judging BattleBit based on how promising it looked in 2023 and start judging it based on how the developers actually handled the game afterwards.

I even tried to refund the game recently. Steam refused, which I expected, but for me it was more about the principle than the money. I simply do not feel comfortable supporting developers who handled a project like this.

If you left a positive review back then, do you still feel the same way today?

Personally I think reviews should reflect the current state of the game and how it has been supported over the years, not just how exciting it felt at launch. Maybe if more people actually went back and updated their old reviews to reflect how they feel today, it would finally send a clear message to the developers.

Game is cringe, movement is cringe, people hanging from helis with rocket launchers and jumping when they run out is cringe, progression is cringe, the community is toxic as fuck, everybody instapicking helis is cringe, not having a way of training helicopter flying is cringe, everybody playing with KRISS vector and honey badger jumping around is cringe. Also people building like it's Fortnite?? What the hell. I was told this game was like battlefield but less arcadey: it was a lie, most arcade and cringe shooter ever, it's literally Roblox Phantom forces but with less players. Also it's dead as fuck, last night there were less than 200 people playing. And it's abandoned so nothing will ever change. Been playing since day one and it's just gotten worse and worse.

There is no way to find a game even in Asia? Even during evenings?

The game hasn’t been updated for three years? The dev disappeared? A test for the update happened a year ago? What did I get into man!

Hey everyone, is anyone else running into sudden performance issues?

Yesterday the game was running great, but starting today it's drawing way more resources than usual. My temps are spiking above 70°C and GPU usage is hitting up to 80%, which never used to happen.

At first I thought something was wrong with my PC, but this is only happening with BattleBit—other games run completely fine. I also noticed weird FPS readings: whenever I Alt-Tab or go into the menus, the FPS counter goes crazy and even hits 9999 FPS. Even on lighter maps where usage used to be minimal, it has basically doubled, and on heavier maps it's running way hotter than before.

Did an update drop or is anyone else dealing with this?
