Looking to get my Battlefield fix in and I’ve heard good things. Anyone playing and can give their thoughts?
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.
You’ve convinced me.
I’m going to give this game a try tonight.
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 🤪
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.)
Convinced me too, downloading now.
Y’all won’t regret it, I promise.
I really enjoy it for what it is, but I feel like they need to refine the overall experience.
People can jump through windows and spray you, yet the ttk is super low, slow reloads and gunplay is a mixed bag when it comes to mechanics (single fire over auto, bipods don’t help at al).
I’ll give it a massive benefit of the doubt due to pricing and oh, yeah…it’s made with love by three people.
The party system is amazing and allows my friends and I to be dragged into a game in mere seconds. Worth it alone for that tbh.
That was made by 3 people? That’s insane.
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.
I created a community for battlebit, if anyone is interested in discussing or posting specific stuff for the game: https://lemmy.world/c/battlebit
It was a little overwhelming for me at first so I played a few hours of 32v32. Now I’m having an absolute blast in 127v127.

Something specific I want to touch on - unlike many other games, the voicechat culture in this one is top notch. People getting really into it calling for medics and giving orders, trashtalking the enemy team when you get downed and they’re trying to drag you away, fun (imo) musical micspam that reminds me of the old days of TF2 - and, perhaps most importantly, minimal bigotry and genuine nastiness. There’s a little, yes, but not nearly as much as I would expect from a game like this, and the public ban log that gets pushed in the top right of the screen indicates the devs actually do care about removing bigotry, which is nice.
I’ll echo everyone else and 100% recommend it.
One thing no one mentioned though is the community. Admins have a zero tolerance policy for racism, homophobia, etc, which leads to voice comms being fun again. So many people roleplaying and just being silly. It’s one of the few games that’s greatly enhanced by proximity chat
Really good, the servers are amazing, I play on 60 to 80 ping brcause my country doesn’t have servers but I don’t feel any lag, and I mean it.
It brings interesting mrchanics, like dragging allies and thr respawn points. It is undoubtedly fun and a dunny game by nature, you won’t really notice the graphics after a few minutes.
Of course, it’s a 15 bucks game AND still in early access, don’t expect it to be battlefield or feel like newer battlefield titles. But it has more destruction, way too many weapons (tied to a progression system, no money involved of course)
Definitely give it a chance, it is a lovely work of passion. Especially the maps, they really impressed me on how good they were at making them feel good at every size of match (256, 128 and 64 people)
There are so many mechanics tho!
Destruction, construction, dragging bodies, anyone can revive, proxy VOIP when dead (so the enemy hears you on your squad chat), tanks, choppers, boats.The game feels great. I can run it at 120fps with vsync off on my 60hz monitor, it feels snappy AF and no tearing.
The guns are fun and varied, there are attachment systems, camo, character customisation.
There are day and night modes, different weather.Seriously, it’s a game that does everything really well. It just looks like Roblox/Minecraft.
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.
Here is 40 seconds I recorded showing what it is like to be inside a firefight.
It’s pretty fun but also very hard, maybe too hard for me. De gameplay is battlefield like with call of duty pacing to me. Theres quite a lot of maps with good variety. Some maps are more sandboxy and open. Others more urban like or with more choke points. At the end of the game you can vote for the next map, but usually the same ones get voted over and over. The gunplay is good and has depth.
I will keep playing it, but mix it up with Deep Rock Galactic for some more relaxed sessions
I’m 100% broke but I want it pretty bad. That’s my thoughts.
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.
Fun game the only complain I would have is the progression system for gun unlocks sort of suck and is quite grindy. I’m personally a big fan of the unlock system for gun attachments since it rewards good play with the guns you use.
It was fun until I was forced to refund it due to the devs announcing they were going to move from EAC to FACEIT, locking Deck/Linux users like me out. Asshole bait-and-switch move if you ask me - I’m glad I had just under two hours of playtime.
As a Deck owner, I feel this. But at the same time, it’s a 3 person dev team, and rampant cheating driving away their audience is the fastest way for their product to get destroyed.
Yeah, but FACEIT doesn’t work either. None of these anti-cheat products do - they usually stop casual attempts at cheating, but in the face of any dedicated attacker (including subscription cheats and hardware mods) they’re pure security theater.
The only exception I can think of would be Vanguard, which only works because it’s an aggressively maintained bespoke solution (and a complete security nightmare) - but even then, it’s still defeated by hardware mods.
