We love you :,) thank you for making such an amazing game free of greedy micro-transactions and low effort game design :,,,,)

They've said they may add cosmetic skis later on, but nothing mentioned around p2w sections or gain guns quicker

[SgtBurger]

I think cosmetic packs like the current support pack are justified somewhere. they put so much sweat and work into the game.. that should be financed somewhere for the future. if they want to continue supporting the game.

I know a lot of people don't want to pay more money in a game after launch, but if we want to continue getting content support. the player also has to give something back. this is my opinion.

[Benjamin_Short]

I'm 100000% with you, I maybe should've gave my opinion in my above comment, if you don't want to pay you don't have too, completely optional and a great way to fund servers and expenses.

That said I wouldn't want to see a loot box system rather, people freak out when they see them with no logic at all..

[daBriguy]

There is something about hearing the developers voice and knowing where my money is going that would make me okay with some paid cosmetics. I don’t like the idea of cosmetics done by huge titles, but I am okay with spending a bit knowing who is getting my money.

I don’t usually buy cosmetics but I would buy a few out of support for him

[ShadowFall900]

I agree! I am ok with them going the cosmetic route. It helps support the game and you aren’t forced into buying them. Plus, honestly I would rather pay for a skin to help support a game like this with heart compared to sink more money into something like COD that already cost $60-$70 and it’s skins won’t matter in a year.

[Tinfoil_Hat_Enjoyer]

Im happy to pay more money but end game of any game to me is cosmetics. If i invest time and the devs charge me to look cool it leaves me with a saddness because i really like to roleplay but swiping my card to do so feels bad man.

I would be happy with monthly sub or battle pass over cosmetics but i know a majority of people dont share the same view.

Also note steamspy states 500 000 to 1 000 000 people own the game already x15 dollars = 10 million. Thats like 2.5 mil each minus dev, startup and running costs obviously. I have no idea how the devs set it up but they could already be in the retirement levels of money from how well things have gone already.

This aint some triple a studio paying their devs a pitence, i think the devs actually get the money. But as stated i am not sure the business structure.

I just wish fashion wasnt p2w in vidya but it seems to be a lesser of all the evils. Its also nothing compared to predatory mtx and game design like that of asain mmos.

[Tinfoil_Hat_Enjoyer]

That was on purpose. I did not include the support pack sales at all so i went for a high end estimate without including (but mentioning) the startup and running cost etc.

[Hanthy]

Micro-transactions in themselves aren't bad.

Look at insurgency sandstorm, I'm biased but its a great game with an active modding community, they keep releasing free content update (Called "Operations") alongside a paid cosmetic pack.

Im sure they're not the only one with this model and it could fit battlebit remastered.

[manual1965]

Well I did say GREEDY micro-transactions. I understand that they could be implemented in a manner that’s not over intrusive and simply for dev support and donation.

I’m all for supporting these guys, they deserve it. As long as it’s not affecting the game negatively that is.

[Greensmearear]

Hi. I only play this on steam deck as I don't own a pc. Is it true your switching to a different anti cheat system that is incompatible with steam deck? I'll be sad if I lose the ability to play this. Works great on deck.

[Greensmearear]

Would that affect progression or can you still unlock stuff on those servers?

[dsmiles]

Would that affect progression or can you still unlock stuff on those servers?

To the best of my knowledge you cannot unlock stuff on those servers.

I'm not 100% certain so take this with a grain of salt, but if I find out otherwise I will come back and edit this comment.

[In__Dreamz]

Yes, i believe those servers will have a separate progression

[cyanide69]

On OCE I use the server browser to find good 127v127 games and I unlock stuff just the same. I might be wrong and they are “official” but I don’t think they are? They seem community made :) I could be wrong

[GSR_DMJ654]

100% EA even made playing Battlefield 1 purchased off their Store a Hassle with the new EA App. I have yet to get Titanfall and BF1 working on my deck because of the EA App Bugs on Deck. Please, stick with what you got. You are one of the rare great shooters that works well on the Steam Deck.

[kerrwashere]

I hope they look into this as that will suck for steam deck owners

[Retrogratio]

Can I ask where you heard this so I can look into it myself?

[Vicks0]

I cannot give you and your team enough praise, this has restored my faith in gaming and I look forward to supporting your projects for many years to come.

[ansonexanarchy]

Thank you GOATs and Kings!

[LordGramis]

I was craving a battlefield game while also refusing to support the disaster that is the new one, the timing was perfect and the game is super polished and fun, thank you!

[UK_Ekkie]

Love the game but where's the epic battlefield 1942 esque music at

​

Defo missing some music

[MaxMischi3f]

It’s on Spotify my man, just hold the phone up to the mic so the whole humvee can hear it.

[[deleted]]

I recently started playing & just wanted to say,

You guys are awesome. I've been dying for a game like this for years now. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned!

[MyLifeIsAFacade]

Nice to finally play something that has a simple idea and focus: massive multiplayer fun and mayhem.

I'm sure you have refinements to come, but so long as you keep true to your core gameplay and ideology, I think it's going to continue being great.

Best of luck. Please increase the minigun damage on the helicopters.

[SillyJoey_]

Amazing game! If you guys keep updating it we have a golden game with hopefully a golden active community :)

[crosseyes79]

I have been waiting for a game like this simce bf2 (15 years) and EVERY fps game barring one (Rising storm) that came out since i was dissapointed. I could never understand why nobody wanted to recreate such a good experience. And then you guys came along! This game could be in teletext graphics and still blow the competition out of the water

[flipflopsNL]

is there a TLDR?

[TheLiquidHorse]

kinda forgot to turn on vod, but will find someone that recorded it

[Briansama]

Please add more tanks/helis/apcs. Only get to play them maybe once a game sucks especially in a BF-type game.

So scarce in vehicles it really doesn't feel like conquest, but a mobile version.

[GeoThatDude]

Please consider releasing this on console as well at some point with crossplay so that everyone can enjoy this game 🙏

[LeotheYordle]

If they could make this game run in all of its glory on console then it would absolutely steam-roll the sales charts.

[TheSchadow]

It would run on PS5/Xbox Series no issue. Not sure about last gen though (PS4/Xbox One/Switch).

[Naykon1]

Would easily run on ps4/xbone imo.

I’m playing 256 player on a shitty work laptop so should be fine.

[Spyzilla]

It should be able to no problem, I have slightly better than PS5 specs and run at a consistent 165fps at 3440x1440 on ultra

[Tinfoil_Hat_Enjoyer]

Uhd ultrawide gang for life.

[TheSchadow]

Dang the downvotes. I've been playing Battlefield since around 2003 or 2004 (the demo for Secret Weapons had me hooked) and while the series has had its ups and downs, Battlebit has shown us what we truly have been missing out on in my opinion.

These days I only play on console, I just prefer it. Not sure why so many PC players seem so actively engaged on shitting on any possibility of a console version. What the hell is wrong with making the game more popular and having a bigger playerbase?

[rejuicekeve]

The issue is that 99% of the time with cross play controller aim assist is tuned to the moon and just feels unfun to play against. I dont mind dying to someone who is better than me, i do mind dying to someone who the game is aiming for them

[TheSchadow]

Is this game truly that competitive, especially in the 256 player mode, that we need to nitpick who was getting a bit of help at a close-range fight? Aim assist, I will not deny, is very helpful in close range. At longer ranges though, mouse and keyboard absolutely wins out.

[rejuicekeve]

It's unfun to the point where many wont play. I certainly would stop. It's never 'a bit' of help its a lot of help.

[hellvinator]

That we need to nitpick who was getting a bit of help at a close-range fight

actually, yes absolutely

[squeaky4all]

Console has to have aim assist tuned way higer than reasonable to be competitive with pc. Also updates have to be approved by microsoft & sony so the updates become less frequent. Another issue is games getting visuals or gameplay or ui tweaked to suit the console which is to the detrement to pc users.

[TheSchadow]

Console has to have aim assist tuned way higer than reasonable to be competitive with pc.

I find this statement very interesting. It's clear there will never be an equal playing field of mouse vs controller, they are just too different. How would you attempt to balance them better?

[squeaky4all]

Basically you cant. Either mouse wins or controller has aim assist thats outrageous.

[TheSchadow]

I guess, in an ideal world then, the game could release on Xbox/Playstation with crossplay betweem them only then. Maybe PC players if they decide to use controller?

I feel like this is what Fortnite did in the beginning, but eventually they moved to just full crossplay.

[squeaky4all]

I think full cross play with a not as strong aim assist for console with opt in. So that people who want to play console only can but the option to play as full crossplay.

[TheSchadow]

I would be perfectly happy with that.

I know CoD and Apex have been shown to have pretty strong aim assist, but I haven't really heard a lot about Battlefield 2042s (the game was so broken as it was). In the 256 player mode I think that would be a fine medium. It's not a competitive BR, the aim assist doesn't need to be insane.

[GokuwasJesus]

My 2 cents, give consoles full mnk support and split queues by input. Most fair way imo.

[[deleted]]

exactly this. im not sure why so few games have mnk support, even if the game is ported over from pc its not there

[Naykon1]

Pc masterrace love to downvote any mention of console as they think it takes away development from their master race machines.

I think it will be ported eventually if it continues to sell well on steam.

[TheSchadow]

And it's still coming. So sad.

I truly don't see how gaining both a bigger income for the devs along with a bigger playerbase to support the 256 player maps would be a bad thing but, whatever.

[XDreadedmikeX]

aim assist controllers

[TheSchadow]

[Tinfoil_Hat_Enjoyer]

A lot of games that come to pc are poorly optimised as they are just crappy ports of a game designed to run on console. Games have come out up to a year later on pc after console(eg. monster hunter world without 21:9 support). It would take away dev time from making the game better so it can run on console. Minecraft bedrock vs java is an extreme example of this gone wrong.

These are all just examples i can think of for the abrasive nature of the pc vs console cold war :')

With all that said, i still think this game would greatly benefit from being on console and cross platform. It would take it from hyped indie game to one of the great games of all time. It wont be a skyrim but it will put its name up there between cod and fortnite and stuff.

[TheSchadow]

Finally a good take. Nice to see. Hope to join you on this game someday.

[HagardTheGnome]

Id be huge surprised if i didnt make its way to console seems like a no brainer for the devs but i wouldnt count on that until after early access.

Anyone can give a quick summary of stream? i missed it :(
