BattleBit Remastered is a low-poly, massive multiplayer FPS, supporting 254 players per server. Battle on a near-fully destructible map with various vehicles!
Looking to get my Battlefield fix in and I’ve heard good things. Anyone playing and can give their thoughts?
Anyone have experience with the Australian servers? I moved from the UK to Aus a few years ago and honestly playing online games has really been the only downside!
Like others have said, it’s influenced heavily by both Battlefield and Squad and I think it’s the best of both worlds.
I love that, in Squad, you need to be so tactical and team oriented and communicative; but it can get overwhelming if you just want to relax and/or have no military experience. Battlefield is fun if you want to shut your brain off; but nobody really works together, sometimes for the worse. I think Battlebit scratches both of those itches really well.
Plus the art style makes it so even with 254 players all in one server it still runs smoothly on my midrange-for-2018 rig lol
It gets a super heavy recommendation from me. The game is absolutely excellent. It’s everything the Battlefield community has wanted from Battlefield for what feels like a decade now.
Do not let the graphics fool you. The game has solid performance, great gunplay, great progression akin to BF4, the class system feels excellent, they can do very large scale due to not having excessive graphics performance will be fully and solid, destruction is also fantastic its just got it all.
As someone who’s felt let down by Battlefield for a while now and put thousands of hours into it back in the day, this scratches that itch like you wouldn’t believe.
I’d say to jump right into the 124v124. At that level, one player is not going to change the tide too much. (Its more akin to the battles in Planetside 2 than your standard Battlefield due to the sheer scope.)
I thought the vehicles handled better in BF2 and 2142. Destruction mechanism is fun and engaging. Wish it had the ability to host servers as I do feel queuing can be a pain. Gameplay is extremely smooth and the graphics do not bother me one bit.
Given it is still under development I am super excited to see where it ends up. All my comments are nit picks of an otherwise excellent BF game with developers that are not EA.
2042 is a shell of a great game. Done wasting money on tripleA trash that corpo clowns kepe selling. Ahouldnhave been done 5 years ago. Don’t feed the trolls
The game is pretty great. I’ve been having so much fun just being a medic in it. Dodging all enemy fire to go heal people is insane when there are so many people.
One game I kept hearing a guy play Free Bird and loudly sing it. Whenever I got close enough for proximity chat I would start hearing him again. Weaving through fire and the gunshots while hearing that every now and then was amazing.
Definitely yes, because it hits a very nice sweet spot that many people where looking for. The game has no micro transactions (so it will always have a advantage over AAA studio games) and a very BF game style. And there are a lot of people looking for a spiritual BF successor. At the same time there is a lot of content already and almost every pc can run this game.
As long as the game devs do not pull a 180 on their great concept and if cheating will not take overhand this game has a bright future.
Don’t get it. Devs are super anti consumer. Don’t allow modding, don’t allow family share on steam. Don’t even allow you to stream it to another device with big picture. They are in the proccess of switching to a terrible anti cheat system.
Could be developed by 1 person or 300, doesn’t give them the excuse to take the low road with the EULA. 2K are literally looking at their EULA for BattleBit and going “holy shit, we can do this?”
They do not have the manpower to achieve your personal wishlist
Also 2k have more lawyers that Battle bit devs do. They’re not looking to therm to learn about the laa
It’s an online game, mods aren’t the easiest or even preferable thing to implement in that format. Family share also can have issues with online content. The streaming one is fair. None of those are inherently anti-consumer.
So why is everyone comparing it to “old battlefield games”. A lot of modern games, like SQUAD, only exist because the old battlefield games allowed modding.
This is pretty anecdotal but I’m pretty sure they’re relying on Anti-Cheat only temporarily, just cause of the huge influx of users in such a short time period. Feel free to correct me tho
I think disallowing family share is typically done to prevent a hacker from just hopping onto a family-share account to evade a ban on the main account. At least with family share disabled, the hacker now needs to purchase the game again.
Would definitely love to see mods, although adding support for them isn’t always simple (esp. when your game is receiving frequent updates in a beta phase).

I’m loving it. Like a nice middle point between Insurgency and Battlefield. Chaotic nonsense with a side of tactical mashed potatoes.
When the servers are behaving even on my 1080ti I get 70+fps at 4k.
The devs leaning to a less toxic community is a nice change of pace as well. Even when frustrated you can “act crazy” instead of losing it.
My main critique is that we need a metro style infantry map. Don’t groan you know you love the meat grinder. Grind that meat with us, GRIND!
Anyone have experience with the Australian servers? I moved from the UK to Aus a few years ago and honestly playing online games has really been the only downside!
There’s plenty of Australian servers. I’ve been playing most days since release.
Good news, I’ll definitely pick it up then, thanks!
I’ve been enjoying it. Kinda feels like BF in the old days. Good community so far too.

You’ve convinced me.
I’m going to give this game a try tonight.
Convinced me too, downloading now.
Y’all won’t regret it, I promise.
It’s for sure worth it, I’d recommend you start on 32 v 32 or 64v64 just to not get overwhelmed by the chaos of 124v124 out the gate lol
Just got a tip this might work on Linux…
But yeah… now I won’t
128v128 it is for me 🤪

Great game. Beats Battlefield 2042 for gameplay by a mile. Brilliant value for money
2042 is a shell of a great game. Done wasting money on tripleA trash that corpo clowns kepe selling. Ahouldnhave been done 5 years ago. Don’t feed the trolls
Super fun game, definitely worth the £12 or whatever I paid.
If you’re looking for the type of thing that made your favourite Battlefield great you’ll find that here.

Here is 40 seconds I recorded showing what it is like to be inside a firefight.
I’m interested in picking it up! Do others think that the game has enough longevity to hold attention for months, or even years?
Definitely yes, because it hits a very nice sweet spot that many people where looking for.

Highly recommended! It’s so much fun and definitely scratches that BF3 itch. I’ve heard it described as BF3 and Squad have a baby and it plays Roblox.
