BattleBit vs Battlefield - A Wake Up Call

BattleBit Remastered has more concurrent players than Battlefield on Steam... What is it about this game that's made it so popular?

Can not understate the importance on how fast you can open the game and get into a 256 player server. No obnoxious intro, no music straight into gaming, brilliant.

Watching an indie game destroy the AAA scene always brings a smile to my face.

I like how being a medic in the game is supper rewarding score-wise, making it worthy for new players to farm XP by reviving and healing everyone. In Battlefield V medics used to run over everyone not giving AF, in this game they'll run straight into the line of fire 3 times in a row to revive you and heal you up 😂

They literally got tired of the bullshit and pulled a "Fuck it! I'll do it myself" and honestly I respect that a lot, because it's the mood I think a lot of gamers have been in for quite a while now.

The VOIP is so good. My first game I was backed behind a wall almost dead while the enemies pushed past me. I shot one of them that almost spotted me and I said "I'm sorry I didn't mean to" he replied "didn't meant too? DIDN'T MEAN TOO? IM DEAD. I HAVE A FAMILY. I'LL NEVER SEE MY KIDS AGAIN BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO SHOOT ME. HELP ME, HELP ME IM DYING" I was in tears the entire time. 10/10 game just from community alone.

I love that the spot we are in within the games industry is, "You have forgotten where you came from. Let me show you." I keep seeing reviews for games that say they are not "reinventing the wheel", but are just fun, they focus on fun. And honestly, these indie developers are the future. Across the Obelisk, Vampire Survivors, BattleBit, were all games that we and the industry needed.

Best $15 I have ever spent in gaming, probably end up getting the supporter pack because they deserve the support.

tried it today and was in tears from the proximity voice chat. the "medic" yells from idiots while barbie girl is blasting on the background is amazing. the shooting is so crisp.

VOIP really adds so much to this game in so many little ways. It goes such a long way towards encouraging players to work as a team and help eachother out, because everyone around you has a voice and personality.

Way more fun for people to drag downed players into cover and revive them when they’re shouting for help and getting crazy on the mic. Not only are the huge battles intense and action-packed, but people can make it so funny and entertaining.

I’ve died laughing so many times while pinned down in a big building with 10 other people, just all huddling around and reviving eachother while shouting and making goofy milsim callouts, while the dude in the tank next to us is blaring fortunate son on the mic the whole time

I honestly hope this is the start of a renaissance for FPS shooters. We’ve been in a preverbal “dark age” for the past 5-6 years without a decent online FPS shooter from a AAA developer. I’m hoping more indie companies will step up and make games like BattleBit and force the big studios to either step up their game or be left behind.

[josejimenez]

I think part of what makes the voip so enjoyable is everyone is genuinely having a good time above all. Being able to locally talk to others + needing help from your teammates + being able to jokingly trash talk the enemy when you die/they kill you, just kinda means everyone is genuinely having a good time

3 guys outdoing a multi billion dollar company! I hope to see more of these stories in the future, I'm so sick of being milked by companies trying to get every dollar out of me. I haven't bought a AAA online game in years because of that. Looking forward to trying this one out! It's got a very interesting history

[georgementchoukov]

The helicopter crashing down mechanics are probably the most ironically cinematic stuff ever put into gaming. Everyone just screaming “we’re going doowwn!!!” 😂

[jordanrowland]

Games like this go to show that the "Game Industry" being so focused on graphical upgrades and nearly nothing else has lost its way. Gameplay is king

[confusedturtle]

I've genuinely always wondered if a game that barely cared about graphics at all and just focused entirely on being made fun could succeed. I'm glad it worked

[PCPAyLOAD]

I forget about the graphics fidelity within a minute each match. It's such an immersive game in so many other ways that sucks you in. It is amazing how your pre-judgment just melts away when the gameplay is so damn good. Battlebit has made me do an complete 180 on what is really important for the best experience.

[ravenandthestranger]

Battlebit went back to the basics on a level that everyone has been asking for.

[akpil]

I hope this game stays populated for years to come. It's a total breath of fresh air and I've been playing it consistently, which I usually have trouble doing with most games.

Very interested in seeing how Battlefield responds to it's success. Will they try to improve the game they're currently developing? Start over from scratch to create something new? Ignore it entirely and keep making the same mistakes?

[Artylight]

Always been a huge BF fan and ended up drifting away from it because I thought I just got bored of the formula after BF1. Battlebit truly opened my eyes on the Battlefield franchise. It really hit all the notes that the recent BF titles couldnt. This video is spot on

The banter, arguing among team mates and enemies, made me enjoy this game so much. Had so much joy giving directions or chatting with people in the game. 10/10
