I heard that because of the overwhelming popularity the devs have had to react to the server strain and focus on mostly fixes. I’m fine with the focus being on “under the hood” improvements with these updates for now. There is a lot of content to explore for brand new players so atm they can easily take their time on the content updates.

I’ve been having fun with it, about 15 hours so far.

My only complaints are when people vault over stuff, or climb up ladders/rope, they can start firing their gun way too soon while they’re still halfway through the animation. Hopefully they fix that by adding a delay so you have to be fully over the object or off the ladder/rope to use your gun.

Until they add the option to disable bobbing this game is literally unplayable for me. It makes me annoyed that they haven’t done it already and the rumours are that they are against adding this option despite it being a basic accessibility feature.

Does anyone know if they’ll ever add SSAO? I enjoy the art style, but I feel the lighting looks a little flat without textures - SSAO would help give everything a bit more depth.

I refunded it.

I had fun for about 5 seconds when I spawned in with 120 other people at the start of a map. Dozens of people were chatting at once over voice comm. When the timer ended we all surged forward in a big monke wave and some guy was playing Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” - that was really, truly fun.

Then the rest of the time I spent getting sniped from forever away by unseen snipers, getting base camped, and spawning in on my squad mates and dying right away. I realized just how bad the grind would be to unlock the weapons and I reflexively noped out of BattleBit.

People seemed friendly enough but it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
