BattleBit Remastered is the current game climbing the ranks on Steam, made by a tiny team of only 3 people it has regularly seen tens of thousands of players. It works on Steam Deck and desktop Linux but the anti-cheat may turn into a big problem.
Totally besides the point of the article, but…
„Clearly people were after a Battlefield-like that isn’t from EA“.
Clear sign that the author hasn’t played the game yet. It’s not even close to Battlefield. It plays and feels totally different. The only thing that is similar is that there are classes and there is „Battle“ in the name.
To be fair: „large scale multiplayer FPS combat with vehicles“ DOES kinda describe Battlefield. Are there differences? Obviously yes. Are the also comparable? Also obviously yes. It’s not like they are comparing Battlefield to Hearts of Iron or something…
It has similarities, but it’s very clearly a child of Squad imo; The focus on team cohesion, squad based tactics and the low ttk all say so. The level designer was a Squad fan themself. The fact it’s working on a mil-sim mode is funny to me, because it’s already pretty squad like so I am interested in how much more they cna do with it.
I like the game for its price point and being able to hop in with my guys but I find the mix of ‘difficulty’ elements very jarring.
We’re hopping through windows, killing people with smgs, the next we’re slow reloading, combining mags and bandaging.
I’m sure they’ll change course via feedback but I feel like the game is in a weird place.
Still……fucker is made by 3 people and is cheap as chips. I let the others do the killing while I smoke and heal the house down 🫡
