BattleBit Remastered is legitimately the tightest battlefield-like fps i’ve ever played, better than name-brand battlefield even. it fills the exact same niche for me.

i play with mic off and still manage serviceable communication with a squad of randies pretty much every game. there’s relatively frequent balance updates, so the meta isn’t focused on any one single playstyle. it’s exactly what i imagine an fps made by fps-junkies to look like.

Also playing support actually feels rewarding, and i think that’s proper rare in multiplayer games.

e: fuck hahah just kidding apparently it was abandoned by the devs. last update 15 months ago, rip to my favorite fps :c

God damnit; you had me sold up until the very end. :(

this is the worst way to find out my favorite game had a scummy dev the whole time lmao

there’s reviews from February that say you can still find populated servers, but that might be region dependant and you almost certainly won’t have a choice for gamemode.

guess we’re both just waiting for the next next good battlefield game 🙃
