Hopefully just for now. the devs could request some famous RUclipsrs such as Jackfrags etc. to play it again and review that game, it might gain more players again.
As a gamer, sometimes it helps to play OTHER types of games ever so often. I like Planetside 2, but sometimes I boot up Rimworld and let it run in the background while I watch RUclips. Sometimes I play Friends vs Friends when I want that Counterstrike itch WITHOUT playing Counterstrike (plus the game has nice bright colors that make me happy). Sometimes I play RTSs, but I've recently bought Athena Crisis, which is basically Advance Wars for PC. It's a breath of fresh air. I love how the sniper and artillery guns need a turn to deploy before shooting, and un-deploy before moving. It makes me think ahead instead of just spamming tanks.
i understand going the single player route, there are a lot of good single player fps to go around, its honestly the best move you can make because companies keep missing the mark when it comes to multiplayer as of now.
Yeah honestly, that’s going to be the way I think. Incredible just how often we see a dev who should know what they are doing in the multiplayer space keep stuffing things up.
@@crassardstreaming4693 Last I checked HD2's community devolved to be more elitist, and more whining about balance/things being nerfed, and whining about what goes on in the HD2 discord - so I don't know if that's a great place to go for community positivity lol
Battlebit got the atention, but had no idea what to do with it. It does not matter if it was out of malice or incompetence, these devs wont be forgiven any time soon.
They had no idea what they wanted to develop back when they were chasing Squad but lacked any level of skill to work to put towards the project, so off he went to Uni.
There's a lot of things that killed the game. The devs being incompetent, inexperienced and there only being (If I remember correctly) 3 of them. Banning people for just f'ing around in chat making people too afraid to engage with the games VOIP systems. Rampant cheating, like extremely rampant, tons of people running wall hacks and recoil control hacks. Complete lack of actual good maps, every map had 5000 hiding cubbies where you could get shot from nearly anywhere at anytime, with most maps being insanely oversized. And tons of other reasons, they simply didn't have the manpower or capability to keep a game like that afloat. They're apparently still working on a "3.0" update, there's plenty of people playing in the test server, but I highly doubt that update will make much of a difference in the health of the game.
I feel the pain as a person that only plays shooters. The old IPs are all over the place and tired, the new stuff is just slop that I can't be bothered with, and there's little hope on the horizon.
Considering how long its been since we've been waiting for anything new for battlebit with the current limbo with the literal almost completely new games worth of unreleased content creep from upgrading the graphics engine to including "Remastered maps" which really are just new maps in general with certain map accents and assets of the original versions they're named after. as time grows the more im certain the idea of them just releasing a brand new Battlebit game instead altogether because eventually the money from battlebit alone to pay for more time to develop the new "Update" if time persists
Helldivers is ruined by the braindead player base, you have the -100 IQ crowd saying that underpowered guns are good and needed when in reality it makes the game feel like trash and makes it boring when running becomes the only strategy, the game has improved a lot ever since and I applaud them for that I just hope arrowhead doesn't listen to the -100 IQ elitist people that want to ruin the game for everyone else but themselves. The game still needs buffs, most primaries are objectively underpowered.
Play some Helldivers 2 lad. It will remind you of what good shooter looks like. Minimal HUD, intuitive damage, decent enemy design, best gunplay in the entire genre period (in my opinion), no invisible wall, great comradeship between players, dev that actually listens to the player, hella cheap. AND HOLY SHIT IT IS BEAUTIFUL. It's probably the only shooter game I have seen beside PS2 that makes big landscapes look like a painting, and you can actually play in every part of it.
HD2 is really boringly easy imo as a pvp fps player. I enjoy messing about for a round or two but it doesn't hit that itch for me and it isn't something I can play for any period of time. Great game but doesn't hit my shooter needs.
My favorite content to see is when the host is genuinely excited to share with the audience. I hope you can find your game passion again soon! I rediscovered mine with classic games like half life mods and old style WoW private servers.
Cheers mate, really hoping to find some absolute bangers I can sink my teeth into again :D Hope you are doing well dude. Great to see you still hanging around!
tbh, i feel exhausted of fps nowadays. Got thousands of hours on BF3, BF4, BF1, BFV, Battlebit, OW, Paladins, at least. Tried The Finals, XDefiant, and others. Not a single game reminds me of the King BF1. We had all we needed at that time. Now i feel like every fps is about money (COD saga, becoming Apple's game, aka change one thing and it's brand new !), and there are no more passion fps. Since few months I swapped to simulation games, and its such a great change for me. I'm driving like a maniac on Assetto Corsa, or being very precise, hauling huge trucks on ATS or ETS2. Fps seem to become a dead end rn. Maybe i'm older too, idk. Anyway, do what u want, we'll be there. Passion is better than content. Be happy, do vlogs about your brand new valve cover, I'll be there. Cheers
Apparently BF1 did get an update to combat cheaters; but even Team Fortress 2 (My favourite game of all time); doesnt hit the same. Lowkey depression, but idk, Shooters dont feel the same.
Random Battle Bit Content Suggestions.... * Map Reviews/analysis. * "Casting" games, like a sports caster, or StarCraft commentator. Monitor a match in spectator mode with the free camera, comment on how others are playing, what they do great and how they could do better. * Wish lists, things you'd love to see come to Battle Bit some day. Just trying to offer some kindling for a creative spark, would love to see more content but I get you don't have enough "paint" right now.
BB dead. 2042 trash. CoD trash. Literally back to BF1 and BFV now. If DF launches with bots, dead. BF25 really is our last hope. I'm so over every popular FPS going ham on skins and trashy elements. They're all just copycats. DF will be the next to feel the wrath if they release with bots, it's gonna hit them hard. Since BFV/MW2019 we've had practically nothing of note aside from a BB spark.
Sad to hear, but understable. I'm now in my 30th and I've been playing FPS for most of my life. Must admit the focus from the industry on battle royal type of game has been a pain in the ass for me. I started playing single player game lately (mostly Dark Souls serie and Mass Effect) and I had a blast. I think you are right trying other genre and I'm pretty sure you will too.
Haha it was a challenging part of the game! That footage didn't show the 3 attempts it took me before then to finish it - very much keen to get back to it myself.
Been facing burn out with shooters; its either super very sweat, EOMM, or Cheating Issues. Could be plateau/skill issue in terms of competitive shooters, but in general, could be burn out with the genre overall. Might go back to Helldivers 2, but Webfishing is a fun game recently picked up
The finals is a very welcoming community and a VERY fun game with a really dedicated development studio, if you ever feel like branching out or playing something else, I’d highly recommend you give it a shot, no need to stick yourself to one game really, you’re on the right track sticking to what you enjoy
It's funny that one of the biggest french Battlefield/Apex youtuber made a video yesterday about why he is switching to a more varied content. It's not a coincidence, the Multiplayer Fps genre is more toxic then ever for a lot of different reason. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see what's new.
Since i left planetside 2 2 years ago when it started dying quicker, i played few random games here and there, couldnt find that one game. Late 2022, early 2023, i found STALCRAFT, its a mmo rpg fps game, its kinda cool, found quite some planetside players that moved there. Now, after planetside 2, i couldnt get that feel when i played planetside 2 (over 5k hours), planetside just felt like a perfect main game. About fps gaming and the community, i feel like something such as titanfall 3 and planetside 3 Will only revive it, i dont know, everything has a BUT, always a catch now. As of now, STALCRAFT X is unique and has that something but they still have a BUT, not a big-ish deal, but still... Theres a lot of possibiloties in the game, from Just playing solo, farming, fighting, clans, squads, quests, etc... But as i said, theres a BUT... (i dont want to talk about Stalcrafts but's here) Mmos and mmorpg are kinda in the same pool, no inovation, greed, game as a second job... No one, but NO ONE is trying to risk and listen to us the community... Mmos, fps, mmofps and rpg... You could give stalcraft x a try 😅
Man I remember my times on Planetside 2 alongside PHX and TIW and so on. Years ago. That game died for me a year or so after the forced laning zergs but I really liked the NC Max and Reaver. Gonna have to check out Stalcraft thanks. edit: Oh it's another free to play game. Been mostly playing stuff like Deep Rock Galactic, Helldivers 2, Barony, etc.. I'm a little leery of F2P games these days
I played Stalcraft X for a while and uninstalled it after a month, I felt like playing World of Warcraft all over again and I'm not interested in RPGs rn. I played a lot of Stalker Anomaly and I thought this one could be like a coop kinda like it but no. It just didn't clicked for me
going full variety is just the way to go now, locking yourself to one specific thing is just a downfall of many good channels as of the last few years.
I've always thought of you as a very enthusiastic person and it's a shame that there's just not that much to be enthusiastic about in the fps genre right now. I'd love to see other games you're really enjoying :)
9:00 A great game to make content on right now would definitely be Helldivers 2. They just newly released a massive update that buffed like everything and it’s super fun!
I got Battlebit a few months after release and dropped it pretty quickly, I recently started playing again seeing they added community servers and have enjoyed it. The thing that I am still frustrated with is the C4 and S vest spam and the occasional friendly that blows up the room you're sniping out of for whatever reason. What I find super funny is the anti personnel mine or c4 on a drone I've had hilarious encounters.
I totally agree with you, Cami I'm actually starting work on a little passion project. We have a concept, we're learning to code/model, and we're basically starting from scratch, so no promises on whether or not it will be finished. But since my project has an FPS element to it, could I ask for your input on what would be in your ideal FPS, whether in video form or someplace like Discord?
helldivers 2 is a nice cup of chaos that's on the uphill right now. also, the Metro series. I haven't dug into it myself, I have some of them, they are rather popular and there must be a reason for it.
if you'd like a singleplayer shooter, fast paced (from what i saw in the video, the battlebit gameplay, you playing rather fast) but a little short yet enjoyable from time to time: Trepang2 its an amazing game that really gives you a feel of being a super soldier while still making you have to think on how to act in some scenarios (especially in higher difficulties) you can either play it slow and steady or go all out in fast paced slaughter, its up to you, i just find it an amazing game and i can't recommend it enough
Very understandable to focus on the positives. And i think, this is a very hard time: The player experience for many will get better, if also more content creators focus on more positive parts of the game. On the other hand, if everyone focuses on the positives, this makes it a lot easier for publishers, to get half baked products out. In the end, do you see the negative sentiment of the community as more significant, or more the quality/focus of the games? Right now it feels like the uncomfortable in-between time where publishers/studios notice more and more, that they cant continue indefinitely like that. But it would certainly help to focus on the good games. Pointing out the great examples like Helldivers 2 in the beginning of the year.
I think there’s a healthy balance that needs to be struck - both content sentiments are very important to the mix, but hyper focusing on one side of the coin (like I have been lately) definitely doesn’t do me (or the community) any favors.
@@CAMIKAZE78 True words! In the end, the developers also need to know what works instead of just trying something different. "Extremes" are rarely good, thats for sure. I was just worried for a second, that the solution might be to turn back to the other extreme (apologize everything). It definitely needs both.
Thanks so much for the honesty. During my PlanetSide Burnouts, I'd boot up MechWarrior 5, Terraria, 7 Days to Die, or Killing Floor 2. Best of luck and looking forward to seeing the new games you will be adding to your channel!
If something I discovered lately is that you can make a video talking about your experience making tacos and I would gladly enjoying What I mean is we will still be here! Always supporting
Planetside 2 merged Miller and Cobalt servers yesterday, which has made a good deal of players come back and we're having fights like it is 2012 I do not expect this will last long, just saying, now's the time to get into some great massive fights.
It's why i think ive unconciously switched to playing single player or multiplayer co-op games. Seems to be much easier to get enjoyment out of them, Helldivers, Lethal Company, Persona, Ace combat. Maybe its also cuz they aren't FPS games so it feels different and fresh after a lifeftime of playing FPS
I’ve been watching your channel for many years now. You have been so loyal to the games you created content for and I always appreciated that. You stuck around with planetside for way longer than anyone of your viewers could have hoped. I hope you can now branch out to a broader range of games and the huge audience that you deserve finally finds this gem of a channel. Cheers
I would love to see other games on this channel like the more obscure single player FPS games or just ones that you are enjoying atm. If I could recommend one FPS game it would HAVE to be the Finals. I would love to watch content from you on the Finals. Your weapon review series would fit really well in that game. Anyways I hope you enjoy making positive videos again and maybe someday this dang BB update will release.
"titanfall 2 failed to stick the landing". Never have I loved a game more than I loved that one. Its mismanagement and active sabatoge by EA will forever be something that pains me. I miss that game
I hope the algorithm isn't to harsh on you for this change. That being said I'm hype to see if we can get you to try the little indie gems like forgive me father 2 and project warlock :)
More power to you man I've enjoyed your videos and I doubt that will change even with different content. FPS games are not my primary interest but it's still a significant portion of my game time. I really hope battlebit will get back on its feet and if not then I hope that the new delta force will be what it seems it will. Played the demo last week and sinked 35hours in i in a week which is pretty unusual for me in FPS games :D .. anyhow good luck and do what you enjoy because if the creator doesn't enjoy the content I doubt the audience will
Do what makes you happy and what you actually enjoy! Being negative or forcing yourself to produce content you dislike is really tiring. PS: Space Marine 2 kicks ass, would love to see your takes on it.
warframe might be a good break from pvp games, its a third person shooter/slasher that i have yet to find someone say something negative on (its REALLY fun)
Ive played warframe myself but the only real badside is that early to mid game the gameplay gets really really repetitive. In fact some of the reasons I took month long breaks from warframe was because I kept getting burnt out or bored. However they did make it better by allowing new players to start the main storyline earlier instead of having to complete half the campaign missions. Overall though once you start the main storyline the game gets really good and somewhat less repetitive.
I just wanted to say I liked your videos and I appreciate your effort youv help me become a better gamer and better person in general if u ever wanna chat together about battle bit or the fps industry is general
FPS are my favorite games but I honestly think the one I thoroughly enjoyed was MW 2019. Before that I had a stint where I didn't really play anything and now I'm enjoying deadlock.
I started with Planetside 2 almost 13 years ago and when you started content it helped me immensely. That game was so much fun that back then with the massive battles and all the mega guilds and mini games that people would create. I have never had that experience again as the MMOFPS world is very small. When Battlebit came out I immediately fell in love again and your content was again something that I loved to find my niche. I am sad that both these franchises are dying and that this is causing your channel issues. I would say branch out and make your money and show your audience something new. I appreciate everything you have brought to the content community, keep up the good work.
Just have fun playing games and the content will come. It's a classic pitfall creators fall in where you start forcing the content despite not enjoying it
I think the one of the most important things to do as a content creator is making the content you enjoy making. If you don´t enjoy it, you are not going to stick with it (I wouldn´t) and something always beats nothing. Even if it is not the content I personally enjoy, it will be someone else's.
From your exhaustion of disappointments in FPS games you've covered and played, I'd recommend Echo Point Nova. It's a single player game with online co-op, where you get to slide around shooting enemies like it's Titanfall 2, but the levels support the movement system. The progression also just makes sense, play the game, beat levels, earn cosmetics and perks. No microtransactions for perks or cosmetics you should get from playing the game, just like how it always should be. On the multiplayer side, there's also Deep Rock Galactic, which innovated on Left 4 Dead's gameplay with fun weapon builds and different kinds of mission objectives.
You should look at diesel knights. It would be great if even more people can be informed about it. Respwn might not give us a titan fall 3 but tue fans will.
I almost fully stopped playing Battlebit Remastered, Battlefield (3, 4, I, V and 2042) and CoD (which I uninstalled btw), bc they weren't fun anymore. I'm eager to wait and see what's next for Battlebit Remastered when the new update comes out of it's "when it's done" current state. I get bored pretty quick lately playing online fps games but, Insurgency Sandstorm has been a lot of fun for me for the past 2 months. I bought the game a long time ago but though it was too hardcore for me at the time and abandoned it but now that I've given it enough time turns out i love this game, despite the complete absence of updates or new things like weapons or maps added to the game I've been spending a bunch of hours on it. I'm also experimenting with a tactical shooter in Roblox called Deadline which has robbed me a lot of night time, I get really immersed with this one at times, with the semi realistic gun behaviors and really extensive weapon customization system. Also, when I need a quick adrenaline rush I play some rounds of Polygon, a Battlefield 3 wannabe that's fun but not for very long periods of time (at least for me), otherwise, I play mostly single player FPS (mostly old ones like Quake and Doom but heavily modded to amp the oomf 😅)
Honestly, as a similarly realism-lensed Optimist, I straight gave up on the competitive FPS genre. The only game I still play there is Valorant. I've mostly switched to co-op FPS/TPS (Helldivers 2, DRG), Souls-like (Remnant 2), and other games which somstimes have shooter aspects. I also had to do a huge mentality shift. I've started to just enjoy the games for what they are, even if I dislike a change here or there. Because of that, I've had to essentially stop interacting with the games' communities. It's not just the devs, there's so much doom-saying, whining, and general negativity over every single thing nowadays. I fondly recall watching videos during the MLG days, seeing the great communities all of these games had and how it seemed like you could just pick it up, roll with the punches, and have a great time. Then I remember how, when I finally could join in on this fun, it had all soured to the sorry state we see it in now. Really, this is a lot of words to get to one simple point. I'd absolutely love to see that golden era community build up again here. One where we can be positive and enjoy the games we want to play while being honest about its shortcomings without being hung up on them. It doesn't even need to be one specific game. A variety of co-op, competitive, and single-player games can work great, even if it provides slower growth.
FYI Activision turned off skill based match making and they noticed a substantial drop in player enjoyment when rating their matches. The only people who don't like skill based match making are the top 1% players.
Battlebit was very fun when i played it during the playtest and i was excited to see how it would be when it released. But when it released it had no regional discounts and meant i had to pay almost 2x the price of what anyone else would pay just to play it. And whats worse is that steam ended up making everything "dollars only" and removed my main form of currency. Now i think about it and im very glad i didnt buy this game and got battlefield 1 instead.
You must be playing on the 1 server out of 2 or 3 that actually has players on it. Last I got on, on a Friday night, there was only 1 USA 200 something player server active. That’s just sad man.
It's really unfortunate to see the condition Battlebit is in, and really games as a whole. As much as AAA (dare i even say 'AAAA') studios pretend to be the people who built the gaming world, it was the smaller studios who founded it, and it remains the same today. I really hope Battlebit eventually gets that update and pushes onward to further success. If not, then thats okay. Dead or not, Battlebit proved to the world that there is still hope, just as Trepang 2, Rimworld, and other studios did. *despite what the media narrative is*, Gaming is not dead, nor is it dying.
im coming up on 30 now and ive played FPS since as log as i can remember, i always held that hope that id have the drive to grind a shooter like BO2 like i did back in school but its just not in it for me anymore. i can get soo hyped for these new shooters than i play for an hour id do good ill just realize im not actually having fun like least recent game that this happened was xDefiant i enjoyed the game for a solid week and was already burnt on it. Personally i thought i was falling out of love with games in general but my saving grace has been MMOs they always have something to grind and can make progress slowly and watch your character grow its been very satisfying to me. MMOs have their own issues right now as well but its the perfect time to get into them as someone new to the genre you have plenty of options like Throne n Liberty, New world, FFXIV, and ofc WOW. can easily dump 1K hrs into any of these games. it worked for me so hope it does for someone burnt on FPS games as well.
Brother you hit the ceiling. Like me and survival games, you see your genre going stale, and with your expertise, could properly MAKE the thing you're looking for. Im stuck waiting for the valve index 2, but you're set to begin as is!
I've actually been feeling the same with the shooter scene just so much negative and not much to be positive about. Sp2 was definitely a big help and since ur looking into single player maybe the remnant series could be up your alley but after playing the betas for marvel rivals I'm really thinking that it could bring back my love for shooters
i would love to see some deadlock guides cause i think a lot of us are in the same head space about fps games. i have hopes for the new battlefield, but their track record is not so good for them. EA is basically giving them one last chance. but yeah, im not used to the moba space and in the game i feel like im in limbo for like all the hero's. i have over 100 hours but i feel like im still missing hella info and they call them small but they have sizeable updates like every Thursday.
I wish Ubisoft would have the ten year support for Xdefiant that Siege got but they really cant be counted on to count their own fingers. But I think it's important that recognize that many of us are just here for your approach to games, not the games specifically. I started playing less and less pvp once I started to go blind but I still enjoy the content.
cami. mani get you need to vent but we dont listen for the drama. we listen to hear you man. haters gonna hate but fans follow. so you do you. a community can be made from anything. do what makes you happy and they will come.
Maybe look into The Finals? It's been an amazing journey and season 4 is really picking up steam if you've never heard of it (because they're not great at marketing honestly) it's made by some of the old devs of battlefield and they make that very obvious with the destruction of the game and if you're looking for smooth movement, it feels like butter once you get the hang of the movement that and the monetization model is a breath of fresh air compared to anything else in the fps genre I'd say is worth a look into I'd love to see what you think of it
Have you tried The Finals? Its really fun and chaotic! The RUclipsrs that focus on that game can be quite toxic and petty tho. Theyre mostly in thier young 20's so makes sense 😅
battlebits biggest problem is the milsim elements. it marketed itself as an indie battlefield game but in reality it's a softcore milsim game. if they get rid of the cringy milsim elements and really go into the battlefield elements the game will succeed
I think it's about time you expand the scope of your channel. I can't remember the last competitive FPS I've played since 2020 besides halo infinite. The FPS space is plagued with battle passes, annoying specialist abilities, horrible optimization, and other general bad decisions for people who want to have fun. The only shooting type game that I play now i HD2 and that's a horde shooter. It's a different type of fun to come home from a long day of work and hold down the trigger on my MG against a swarm of bugs without having to worry about the meta and bad game loops. I recently fixed my punkbuster issue on BF4 and I'm hoping that some of the servers are still alive but I'm hard pressed to play it when other games like sparking zero, armored core 6, and Yakuza exist. This is also coming from someone who's main interest is racing games and we've been getting absolutely shafted the past few years as well. Take the single player pill bros, you'll just be happier 😂
I do not envy you being a primarily FPS channel. FPS games only take up about 30% of my gaming, Battle Bit and Planetside 2 are the only PvP FPS games I've been into since Cod MW 2 (the original one). It's very rare that a modern FPS matches the quality of FPS I'm used to from the early 2000s. I suggest broadening your scope, like more PvE shooters. Space Marine 2 is a good one. Helldivers 2 has come back to a good spot Darktide is finally in a good place Vermintide 2 has always been top tier, but melee focused. Overwatch 2 is ABSOLUTE POISON DON'T YOU EVER GO NEAR IT!
When it's late and you're tired Battlebit's PvP is too intense to be enjoyable. It's best when you're refreshed in the morning. I think the game would benefit from chill PvE modes. Something easy and fun to do when you're tired or intoxicated. Something cooperative vs bots or zombies. Even silly, fun stuff like a duck hunt at the range, or shooting clay pigeons, or popping balloons is cool. Stuff like that would give casuals an incentive to login and play in a stress free environment. And once they feel warmed up may join an actual match. LFD2 remains very popular to this day because of its variety of game modes; BBR should follow suit.

It ain't looking good my dude, I'll be honest with you.
Hopefully just for now. the devs could request some famous RUclipsrs such as Jackfrags etc. to play it again and review that game, it might gain more players again.
can you explain why you think it's dead please
As a gamer, sometimes it helps to play OTHER types of games ever so often. I like Planetside 2, but sometimes I boot up Rimworld and let it run in the background while I watch RUclips. Sometimes I play Friends vs Friends when I want that Counterstrike itch WITHOUT playing Counterstrike (plus the game has nice bright colors that make me happy). Sometimes I play RTSs, but I've recently bought Athena Crisis, which is basically Advance Wars for PC. It's a breath of fresh air. I love how the sniper and artillery guns need a turn to deploy before shooting, and un-deploy before moving. It makes me think ahead instead of just spamming tanks.
Very much looking forward to jumping into some different stuff and revitalizing that interest again, cheers for sharing dude!
i understand going the single player route, there are a lot of good single player fps to go around, its honestly the best move you can make because companies keep missing the mark when it comes to multiplayer as of now.
Yeah honestly, that’s going to be the way I think. Incredible just how often we see a dev who should know what they are doing in the multiplayer space keep stuffing things up.
couldn't agree more, used to be play CS, Val and BF hardcore but got tired these days, diving into singleplayer reignited the passion for gaming again
Taking the single player pill made my nights way more enjoyable and FAR less rage filled 😂
@@CAMIKAZE78 Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers 2 are some excellent options for a positive community break
@@crassardstreaming4693 Last I checked HD2's community devolved to be more elitist, and more whining about balance/things being nerfed, and whining about what goes on in the HD2 discord - so I don't know if that's a great place to go for community positivity lol
Battlebit got the atention, but had no idea what to do with it. It does not matter if it was out of malice or incompetence, these devs wont be forgiven any time soon.
They had no idea what they wanted to develop back when they were chasing Squad but lacked any level of skill to work to put towards the project, so off he went to Uni.
"Forgiven" is a very strong word for 3 devs and a computer game, gotta be honest.
Real weird way to look at man
Didn’t know what to do with it out of malice? That doesn’t even make sense lol
There's a lot of things that killed the game. The devs being incompetent, inexperienced and there only being (If I remember correctly) 3 of them. Banning people for just f'ing around in chat making people too afraid to engage with the games VOIP systems. Rampant cheating, like extremely rampant, tons of people running wall hacks and recoil control hacks. Complete lack of actual good maps, every map had 5000 hiding cubbies where you could get shot from nearly anywhere at anytime, with most maps being insanely oversized. And tons of other reasons, they simply didn't have the manpower or capability to keep a game like that afloat.
They're apparently still working on a "3.0" update, there's plenty of people playing in the test server, but I highly doubt that update will make much of a difference in the health of the game.
I feel the pain as a person that only plays shooters. The old IPs are all over the place and tired, the new stuff is just slop that I can't be bothered with, and there's little hope on the horizon.
Considering how long its been since we've been waiting for anything new for battlebit with the current limbo with the literal almost completely new games worth of unreleased content creep from upgrading the graphics engine to including "Remastered maps" which really are just new maps in general with certain map accents and assets of the original versions they're named after. as time grows the more im certain the idea of them just releasing a brand new Battlebit game instead altogether because eventually the money from battlebit alone to pay for more time to develop the new "Update" if time persists
My dude Super Earth is always recruiting. 😉
Honestly, if I start up my PC it is more likely I play Helldivers 2 instead of PlanetSide 2.
Indeed, a great game despite everything happening around it
Helldivers is ruined by the braindead player base, you have the -100 IQ crowd saying that underpowered guns are good and needed when in reality it makes the game feel like trash and makes it boring when running becomes the only strategy, the game has improved a lot ever since and I applaud them for that I just hope arrowhead doesn't listen to the -100 IQ elitist people that want to ruin the game for everyone else but themselves. The game still needs buffs, most primaries are objectively underpowered.
@@TheRealName7 Most of the guns already feel great now tho, what are you even talking about?
@@durakeno5575 yeah they improved them but some they haven't improved enough and still struggle with basic enemies.
@@TheRealName7 like which guns?
I think we're all tired dude.
Ill watch, no matter what. You had me at "point and click adventure"
Play some Helldivers 2 lad. It will remind you of what good shooter looks like.
Minimal HUD, intuitive damage, decent enemy design, best gunplay in the entire genre period (in my opinion), no invisible wall, great comradeship between players, dev that actually listens to the player, hella cheap.
AND HOLY SHIT IT IS BEAUTIFUL. It's probably the only shooter game I have seen beside PS2 that makes big landscapes look like a painting, and you can actually play in every part of it.
You are right, HD2 is a good game with massive potential but currently it lacks some endgame content and gameloop after like 100 hours becomes boring
HD2 is really boringly easy imo as a pvp fps player. I enjoy messing about for a round or two but it doesn't hit that itch for me and it isn't something I can play for any period of time.
Great game but doesn't hit my shooter needs.
PvE ? nah im cool
@@MachinedFace88ttv if you're someone that immediately dismisses a game for being PvE then you are not cool I am afraid...
I've never gotten so bored with a game so quickly as I did with helldiver's 2
My favorite content to see is when the host is genuinely excited to share with the audience.
I hope you can find your game passion again soon! I rediscovered mine with classic games like half life mods and old style WoW private servers.
Cheers mate, really hoping to find some absolute bangers I can sink my teeth into again :D
Hope you are doing well dude. Great to see you still hanging around!
tbh, i feel exhausted of fps nowadays. Got thousands of hours on BF3, BF4, BF1, BFV, Battlebit, OW, Paladins, at least. Tried The Finals, XDefiant, and others. Not a single game reminds me of the King BF1. We had all we needed at that time. Now i feel like every fps is about money (COD saga, becoming Apple's game, aka change one thing and it's brand new !), and there are no more passion fps. Since few months I swapped to simulation games, and its such a great change for me. I'm driving like a maniac on Assetto Corsa, or being very precise, hauling huge trucks on ATS or ETS2. Fps seem to become a dead end rn. Maybe i'm older too, idk. Anyway, do what u want, we'll be there. Passion is better than content. Be happy, do vlogs about your brand new valve cover, I'll be there. Cheers
Thanks for sharing mate, really glad you’ve been able to find some more enjoyment in other types of games yourself!
the king is 1942 but ill accept bc2 as a part of the royal family
I love the Finals
Apparently BF1 did get an update to combat cheaters; but even Team Fortress 2 (My favourite game of all time); doesnt hit the same. Lowkey depression, but idk, Shooters dont feel the same.
finals is king 🫶🏻
Random Battle Bit Content Suggestions....
* Map Reviews/analysis.
* "Casting" games, like a sports caster, or StarCraft commentator. Monitor a match in spectator mode with the free camera, comment on how others are playing, what they do great and how they could do better.
* Wish lists, things you'd love to see come to Battle Bit some day.
Just trying to offer some kindling for a creative spark, would love to see more content but I get you don't have enough "paint" right now.
BB dead. 2042 trash. CoD trash. Literally back to BF1 and BFV now. If DF launches with bots, dead.
BF25 really is our last hope. I'm so over every popular FPS going ham on skins and trashy elements. They're all just copycats. DF will be the next to feel the wrath if they release with bots, it's gonna hit them hard. Since BFV/MW2019 we've had practically nothing of note aside from a BB spark.
Looking mighty grim out here to be honest, hence why I think it might be time to change things up.
for some reason im not connecting the dots on what DF is, could you enlighten me
@@triennial9307 delta force, its chinese slop that's copying battlefield 2042
Bad news, looks like the devs are pushing to keep bots in delta force
I still play BF3.
Sad to hear, but understable. I'm now in my 30th and I've been playing FPS for most of my life. Must admit the focus from the industry on battle royal type of game has been a pain in the ass for me. I started playing single player game lately (mostly Dark Souls serie and Mass Effect) and I had a blast. I think you are right trying other genre and I'm pretty sure you will too.
I love that the first shot of Selaco you show is that room. I got stuck in there for at least twenty minutes. Love that game need to finish it.
Haha it was a challenging part of the game! That footage didn't show the 3 attempts it took me before then to finish it - very much keen to get back to it myself.
Been facing burn out with shooters; its either super very sweat, EOMM, or Cheating Issues. Could be plateau/skill issue in terms of competitive shooters, but in general, could be burn out with the genre overall.
Might go back to Helldivers 2, but Webfishing is a fun game recently picked up
The finals is a very welcoming community and a VERY fun game with a really dedicated development studio, if you ever feel like branching out or playing something else, I’d highly recommend you give it a shot, no need to stick yourself to one game really, you’re on the right track sticking to what you enjoy
The finals is cool and all, but the 3v3v3 "catch the ball" game-show feel does just not hit it for me.
@ItsBoyRed fair as there’s a dependence on teammates, maybe check back in once TDM is a thing eventually
deasil knights is a game currently under development titan fall 2 esk. ive got my eye on it, just thought i might make u aware of its existence :)
It's funny that one of the biggest french Battlefield/Apex youtuber made a video yesterday about why he is switching to a more varied content. It's not a coincidence, the Multiplayer Fps genre is more toxic then ever for a lot of different reason. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see what's new.
I think all the FPS content creators are sharing our last remaining braincell at the moment to arrive at the same conclusions, to be honest...
Im fr so glad that I always played PvP FPS games as a secondary to coop shooters
The mines are calling out to you brother.
Rock and Stone. To the Bone.
Since i left planetside 2 2 years ago when it started dying quicker, i played few random games here and there, couldnt find that one game.
Late 2022, early 2023, i found STALCRAFT, its a mmo rpg fps game, its kinda cool, found quite some planetside players that moved there.
Now, after planetside 2, i couldnt get that feel when i played planetside 2 (over 5k hours), planetside just felt like a perfect main game.
About fps gaming and the community, i feel like something such as titanfall 3 and planetside 3 Will only revive it, i dont know, everything has a BUT, always a catch now.
As of now, STALCRAFT X is unique and has that something but they still have a BUT, not a big-ish deal, but still... Theres a lot of possibiloties in the game, from Just playing solo, farming, fighting, clans, squads, quests, etc...
But as i said, theres a BUT... (i dont want to talk about Stalcrafts but's here)
Mmos and mmorpg are kinda in the same pool, no inovation, greed, game as a second job... No one, but NO ONE is trying to risk and listen to us the community...
Mmos, fps, mmofps and rpg...
You could give stalcraft x a try 😅
👀
Man I remember my times on Planetside 2 alongside PHX and TIW and so on. Years ago. That game died for me a year or so after the forced laning zergs but I really liked the NC Max and Reaver. Gonna have to check out Stalcraft thanks. edit: Oh it's another free to play game. Been mostly playing stuff like Deep Rock Galactic, Helldivers 2, Barony, etc.. I'm a little leery of F2P games these days
I played Stalcraft X for a while and uninstalled it after a month, I felt like playing World of Warcraft all over again and I'm not interested in RPGs rn.
I played a lot of Stalker Anomaly and I thought this one could be like a coop kinda like it but no. It just didn't clicked for me
@@ijLeblanc yeah, its not co op but pvp pve mmorpg
Nothing hits like PS2 and probably never will
I'll be here for the change!
Love your positive swings combined with your awesome vocabulary
Cheers mate, I appreciate that!
going full variety is just the way to go now, locking yourself to one specific thing is just a downfall of many good channels as of the last few years.
I only play The Finals now. Occassionally, I'll dip into Helldivers 2. That's it.
How do you feel about the recent Finals gunplay changes? Addiing bullet drop/velocity killed it for me because I had gotten so used to the hitscan.
I've always thought of you as a very enthusiastic person and it's a shame that there's just not that much to be enthusiastic about in the fps genre right now. I'd love to see other games you're really enjoying :)
I would love to watch you play Deadlock!! It's got a good community around it seems.
I've got a good vibe over Delta Force.. hopefully that'll also be a game to explore
I stand my suggestion from stream. Witchfire. Currently hidden gem that should be pushed to the surface.
Very, very keen to give that game a look myself!
You sir (and/or madam), have me interested.
9:00 A great game to make content on right now would definitely be Helldivers 2. They just newly released a massive update that buffed like everything and it’s super fun!
I got Battlebit a few months after release and dropped it pretty quickly, I recently started playing again seeing they added community servers and have enjoyed it. The thing that I am still frustrated with is the C4 and S vest spam and the occasional friendly that blows up the room you're sniping out of for whatever reason. What I find super funny is the anti personnel mine or c4 on a drone I've had hilarious encounters.
Yo, I suggest you make vids on STALKER 2 when that drops. It should be an epic release
My big bro got Battlebit cuz i was so stoked on it! I feel bad cuz we still havent played together. Im waiting for an update to hop back on!
I totally agree with you, Cami
I'm actually starting work on a little passion project. We have a concept, we're learning to code/model, and we're basically starting from scratch, so no promises on whether or not it will be finished.
But since my project has an FPS element to it, could I ask for your input on what would be in your ideal FPS, whether in video form or someplace like Discord?
helldivers 2 is a nice cup of chaos that's on the uphill right now. also, the Metro series. I haven't dug into it myself, I have some of them, they are rather popular and there must be a reason for it.
if you'd like a singleplayer shooter, fast paced (from what i saw in the video, the battlebit gameplay, you playing rather fast) but a little short yet enjoyable from time to time: Trepang2
its an amazing game that really gives you a feel of being a super soldier while still making you have to think on how to act in some scenarios (especially in higher difficulties)
you can either play it slow and steady or go all out in fast paced slaughter, its up to you, i just find it an amazing game and i can't recommend it enough
Very understandable to focus on the positives. And i think, this is a very hard time:
The player experience for many will get better, if also more content creators focus on more positive parts of the game.
On the other hand, if everyone focuses on the positives, this makes it a lot easier for publishers, to get half baked products out.
In the end, do you see the negative sentiment of the community as more significant, or more the quality/focus of the games?
Right now it feels like the uncomfortable in-between time where publishers/studios notice more and more, that they cant continue indefinitely like that.
But it would certainly help to focus on the good games. Pointing out the great examples like Helldivers 2 in the beginning of the year.
I think there’s a healthy balance that needs to be struck - both content sentiments are very important to the mix, but hyper focusing on one side of the coin (like I have been lately) definitely doesn’t do me (or the community) any favors.
@@CAMIKAZE78 True words! In the end, the developers also need to know what works instead of just trying something different.
"Extremes" are rarely good, thats for sure. I was just worried for a second, that the solution might be to turn back to the other extreme (apologize everything). It definitely needs both.
Thanks so much for the honesty. During my PlanetSide Burnouts, I'd boot up MechWarrior 5, Terraria, 7 Days to Die, or Killing Floor 2. Best of luck and looking forward to seeing the new games you will be adding to your channel!
Chase your joy and enjoy the run
If something I discovered lately is that you can make a video talking about your experience making tacos and I would gladly enjoying
What I mean is we will still be here! Always supporting
Planetside 2 merged Miller and Cobalt servers yesterday, which has made a good deal of players come back and we're having fights like it is 2012
I do not expect this will last long, just saying, now's the time to get into some great massive fights.
ive been loving core keeper lately its very different from an fps but its a lot of fun
helldivers 2, the finals and deadlock are awsome picks right now for a good time! I'm interested on what you got with those!
My two favorite FPS to play right now are the Finals and Valorant. Both have good gameplay with devs who care. ❤
It's why i think ive unconciously switched to playing single player or multiplayer co-op games. Seems to be much easier to get enjoyment out of them, Helldivers, Lethal Company, Persona, Ace combat. Maybe its also cuz they aren't FPS games so it feels different and fresh after a lifeftime of playing FPS
I’ve been watching your channel for many years now.
You have been so loyal to the games you created content for and I always appreciated that. You stuck around with planetside for way longer than anyone of your viewers could have hoped.
I hope you can now branch out to a broader range of games and the huge audience that you deserve finally finds this gem of a channel.
Cheers
I would love to see other games on this channel like the more obscure single player FPS games or just ones that you are enjoying atm. If I could recommend one FPS game it would HAVE to be the Finals. I would love to watch content from you on the Finals. Your weapon review series would fit really well in that game. Anyways I hope you enjoy making positive videos again and maybe someday this dang BB update will release.
I haven't seen battle bit videos in a while. I went back and thumbs upped a bunch of your videos.
"titanfall 2 failed to stick the landing". Never have I loved a game more than I loved that one. Its mismanagement and active sabatoge by EA will forever be something that pains me. I miss that game
its not a fps but i'd highly recommend TCG Card Shop Simulator, it's quite fun and relaxing
I may or may not be hyper fixating on this game off camera already… it’s dangerous.
I hope the algorithm isn't to harsh on you for this change. That being said I'm hype to see if we can get you to try the little indie gems like forgive me father 2 and project warlock :)
More power to you man I've enjoyed your videos and I doubt that will change even with different content. FPS games are not my primary interest but it's still a significant portion of my game time. I really hope battlebit will get back on its feet and if not then I hope that the new delta force will be what it seems it will. Played the demo last week and sinked 35hours in i in a week which is pretty unusual for me in FPS games :D .. anyhow good luck and do what you enjoy because if the creator doesn't enjoy the content I doubt the audience will
Cheers legend, I appreciate the comment! ☺️
Do what makes you happy and what you actually enjoy! Being negative or forcing yourself to produce content you dislike is really tiring.
PS: Space Marine 2 kicks ass, would love to see your takes on it.
warframe might be a good break from pvp games, its a third person shooter/slasher that i have yet to find someone say something negative on (its REALLY fun)
Ive played warframe myself but the only real badside is that early to mid game the gameplay gets really really repetitive. In fact some of the reasons I took month long breaks from warframe was because I kept getting burnt out or bored. However they did make it better by allowing new players to start the main storyline earlier instead of having to complete half the campaign missions. Overall though once you start the main storyline the game gets really good and somewhat less repetitive.
I just wanted to say I liked your videos and I appreciate your effort youv help me become a better gamer and better person in general if u ever wanna chat together about battle bit or the fps industry is general
Man I've been tired for years now, life is exhausting. Life is both a blessing and a curse.
If you're liking Space Marine 2 I suggest picking up Darktide.
Noted, cheers mate!
FPS are my favorite games but I honestly think the one I thoroughly enjoyed was MW 2019. Before that I had a stint where I didn't really play anything and now I'm enjoying deadlock.
I think part of the reason battle bit has died off is because there wasn’t an attempt to open up the game to a console audience
Just come over to The Finals, it's dope ;D
Thought you were going to have a break, which would be good for you, but it is also good if you're still making content. Keep the good work!
PLEASE START COVERING THE FINALS - ITS A MASTERPIECE OF A GAME
I started with Planetside 2 almost 13 years ago and when you started content it helped me immensely. That game was so much fun that back then with the massive battles and all the mega guilds and mini games that people would create. I have never had that experience again as the MMOFPS world is very small. When Battlebit came out I immediately fell in love again and your content was again something that I loved to find my niche. I am sad that both these franchises are dying and that this is causing your channel issues. I would say branch out and make your money and show your audience something new. I appreciate everything you have brought to the content community, keep up the good work.
As an fps gamer im really hoping that Delta Force knocks it out of the park when it releases later this year
Just have fun playing games and the content will come. It's a classic pitfall creators fall in where you start forcing the content despite not enjoying it
Im tired today too, i think im gonna have an early night
would love to see you play variety games
cover Zero Sievert!
Cheers legend!
I think the one of the most important things to do as a content creator is making the content you enjoy making. If you don´t enjoy it, you are not going to stick with it (I wouldn´t) and something always beats nothing. Even if it is not the content I personally enjoy, it will be someone else's.
Jumped into BB on Wednesday, 2 dead Oceanic servers. RIP.
From your exhaustion of disappointments in FPS games you've covered and played, I'd recommend Echo Point Nova.
It's a single player game with online co-op, where you get to slide around shooting enemies like it's Titanfall 2, but the levels support the movement system.
The progression also just makes sense, play the game, beat levels, earn cosmetics and perks. No microtransactions for perks or cosmetics you should get from playing the game, just like how it always should be.
On the multiplayer side, there's also Deep Rock Galactic, which innovated on Left 4 Dead's gameplay with fun weapon builds and different kinds of mission objectives.
You should look at diesel knights. It would be great if even more people can be informed about it. Respwn might not give us a titan fall 3 but tue fans will.
Battlebit might have an update soon (less than 2 month maybe ?). They recently released a new private uild on steam for testing purpose.
I almost fully stopped playing Battlebit Remastered, Battlefield (3, 4, I, V and 2042) and CoD (which I uninstalled btw), bc they weren't fun anymore.
I'm eager to wait and see what's next for Battlebit Remastered when the new update comes out of it's "when it's done" current state.
I get bored pretty quick lately playing online fps games but, Insurgency Sandstorm has been a lot of fun for me for the past 2 months. I bought the game a long time ago but though it was too hardcore for me at the time and abandoned it but now that I've given it enough time turns out i love this game, despite the complete absence of updates or new things like weapons or maps added to the game I've been spending a bunch of hours on it.
I'm also experimenting with a tactical shooter in Roblox called Deadline which has robbed me a lot of night time, I get really immersed with this one at times, with the semi realistic gun behaviors and really extensive weapon customization system.
Also, when I need a quick adrenaline rush I play some rounds of Polygon, a Battlefield 3 wannabe that's fun but not for very long periods of time (at least for me), otherwise, I play mostly single player FPS (mostly old ones like Quake and Doom but heavily modded to amp the oomf 😅)
tarkov saved me this year tbh been loving the grind it sucks sometimes dont get me wrong but its agreat game to stream/play give it a shot brother
Honestly, as a similarly realism-lensed Optimist, I straight gave up on the competitive FPS genre. The only game I still play there is Valorant. I've mostly switched to co-op FPS/TPS (Helldivers 2, DRG), Souls-like (Remnant 2), and other games which somstimes have shooter aspects.
I also had to do a huge mentality shift. I've started to just enjoy the games for what they are, even if I dislike a change here or there. Because of that, I've had to essentially stop interacting with the games' communities. It's not just the devs, there's so much doom-saying, whining, and general negativity over every single thing nowadays. I fondly recall watching videos during the MLG days, seeing the great communities all of these games had and how it seemed like you could just pick it up, roll with the punches, and have a great time. Then I remember how, when I finally could join in on this fun, it had all soured to the sorry state we see it in now.
Really, this is a lot of words to get to one simple point. I'd absolutely love to see that golden era community build up again here. One where we can be positive and enjoy the games we want to play while being honest about its shortcomings without being hung up on them. It doesn't even need to be one specific game. A variety of co-op, competitive, and single-player games can work great, even if it provides slower growth.
Have you tried getting into some coop shooters with friends? I recently got into Darktide and Im having an absolute blast.
FYI Activision turned off skill based match making and they noticed a substantial drop in player enjoyment when rating their matches. The only people who don't like skill based match making are the top 1% players.
Battlebit was very fun when i played it during the playtest and i was excited to see how it would be when it released. But when it released it had no regional discounts and meant i had to pay almost 2x the price of what anyone else would pay just to play it.
And whats worse is that steam ended up making everything "dollars only" and removed my main form of currency.
Now i think about it and im very glad i didnt buy this game and got battlefield 1 instead.
You must be playing on the 1 server out of 2 or 3 that actually has players on it. Last I got on, on a Friday night, there was only 1 USA 200 something player server active. That’s just sad man.
5:36 sums it up for me
well said
It's really unfortunate to see the condition Battlebit is in, and really games as a whole.
As much as AAA (dare i even say 'AAAA') studios pretend to be the people who built the gaming world, it was the smaller studios who founded it, and it remains the same today.
I really hope Battlebit eventually gets that update and pushes onward to further success. If not, then thats okay.
Dead or not, Battlebit proved to the world that there is still hope, just as Trepang 2, Rimworld, and other studios did.
*despite what the media narrative is*, Gaming is not dead, nor is it dying.
Try some helldivers and Space Marines. Great third-person choices with a large player base atm.
im coming up on 30 now and ive played FPS since as log as i can remember, i always held that hope that id have the drive to grind a shooter like BO2 like i did back in school but its just not in it for me anymore. i can get soo hyped for these new shooters than i play for an hour id do good ill just realize im not actually having fun like least recent game that this happened was xDefiant i enjoyed the game for a solid week and was already burnt on it. Personally i thought i was falling out of love with games in general but my saving grace has been MMOs they always have something to grind and can make progress slowly and watch your character grow its been very satisfying to me. MMOs have their own issues right now as well but its the perfect time to get into them as someone new to the genre you have plenty of options like Throne n Liberty, New world, FFXIV, and ofc WOW. can easily dump 1K hrs into any of these games. it worked for me so hope it does for someone burnt on FPS games as well.
42 is kinda alright finally.
Ain’t no bf3/bf2.
But it’s aight
Brother you hit the ceiling. Like me and survival games, you see your genre going stale, and with your expertise, could properly MAKE the thing you're looking for.
Im stuck waiting for the valve index 2, but you're set to begin as is!
I've actually been feeling the same with the shooter scene just so much negative and not much to be positive about. Sp2 was definitely a big help and since ur looking into single player maybe the remnant series could be up your alley but after playing the betas for marvel rivals I'm really thinking that it could bring back my love for shooters
i would love to see some deadlock guides cause i think a lot of us are in the same head space about fps games. i have hopes for the new battlefield, but their track record is not so good for them. EA is basically giving them one last chance. but yeah, im not used to the moba space and in the game i feel like im in limbo for like all the hero's. i have over 100 hours but i feel like im still missing hella info and they call them small but they have sizeable updates like every Thursday.
I wish Ubisoft would have the ten year support for Xdefiant that Siege got but they really cant be counted on to count their own fingers. But I think it's important that recognize that many of us are just here for your approach to games, not the games specifically. I started playing less and less pvp once I started to go blind but I still enjoy the content.
play arma reforger what a breath of fresh air, it can be so fing annoying sometimes but its so dynamic and a good community
cami. mani get you need to vent but we dont listen for the drama. we listen to hear you man. haters gonna hate but fans follow. so you do you. a community can be made from anything. do what makes you happy and they will come.
Its time to chill maaaan
Maybe look into The Finals?
It's been an amazing journey and season 4 is really picking up steam
if you've never heard of it (because they're not great at marketing honestly) it's made by some of the old devs of battlefield and they make that very obvious with the destruction of the game
and if you're looking for smooth movement, it feels like butter once you get the hang of the movement
that and the monetization model is a breath of fresh air compared to anything else in the fps genre
I'd say is worth a look into
I'd love to see what you think of it
Have you tried The Finals? Its really fun and chaotic! The RUclipsrs that focus on that game can be quite toxic and petty tho. Theyre mostly in thier young 20's so makes sense 😅
You don't gotta play all the popular fps games, do what you enjoy man!!
battlebits biggest problem is the milsim elements. it marketed itself as an indie battlefield game but in reality it's a softcore milsim game. if they get rid of the cringy milsim elements and really go into the battlefield elements the game will succeed
I think it's about time you expand the scope of your channel. I can't remember the last competitive FPS I've played since 2020 besides halo infinite. The FPS space is plagued with battle passes, annoying specialist abilities, horrible optimization, and other general bad decisions for people who want to have fun. The only shooting type game that I play now i HD2 and that's a horde shooter. It's a different type of fun to come home from a long day of work and hold down the trigger on my MG against a swarm of bugs without having to worry about the meta and bad game loops. I recently fixed my punkbuster issue on BF4 and I'm hoping that some of the servers are still alive but I'm hard pressed to play it when other games like sparking zero, armored core 6, and Yakuza exist. This is also coming from someone who's main interest is racing games and we've been getting absolutely shafted the past few years as well. Take the single player pill bros, you'll just be happier 😂
I do not envy you being a primarily FPS channel. FPS games only take up about 30% of my gaming, Battle Bit and Planetside 2 are the only PvP FPS games I've been into since Cod MW 2 (the original one). It's very rare that a modern FPS matches the quality of FPS I'm used to from the early 2000s.
I suggest broadening your scope, like more PvE shooters.
Space Marine 2 is a good one.
Helldivers 2 has come back to a good spot
Darktide is finally in a good place
Vermintide 2 has always been top tier, but melee focused.
Overwatch 2 is ABSOLUTE POISON DON'T YOU EVER GO NEAR IT!
From planetside to battlebit. Seems like recently you cant catch a break!
When it's late and you're tired Battlebit's PvP is too intense to be enjoyable. It's best when you're refreshed in the morning.
I think the game would benefit from chill PvE modes. Something easy and fun to do when you're tired or intoxicated. Something cooperative vs bots or zombies. Even silly, fun stuff like a duck hunt at the range, or shooting clay pigeons, or popping balloons is cool.
Stuff like that would give casuals an incentive to login and play in a stress free environment. And once they feel warmed up may join an actual match. LFD2 remains very popular to this day because of its variety of game modes; BBR should follow suit.
